Mitchell Under Fire.

The management of the Colorado
strike was bitterly argued at indianapolis
Yesterday on the floor ofthe national con.
vention of the United Mine Workers
Delegate Randall ofWyoming, spoke for
half an hour. He charged that President
Mitchell had sold out the miners organ
ization in the recent Colorado strike, and
attacked The financial integrity of the
president. His speech was personal
attack on President Mitchell. Randall
took the platform and faced Mr.. Mitchell
while making the charges. The delegates
tried to silence Randall several times,
but President Mitchell raped for order
and insisted that Randall be heard.
When Randall was through, President
Mitchell reviewed the conduct of the
Colorado strike, and said il was true he
had advised settlement, and would do
so again under the same circumstances.
He said early in the strike, President
Howells, of the district, asked for $780,
900 with which 10 carry on the strike,
which had been refused, President Nit
chell said he did not want to trust
Howells with that amount. President
Mitchel made the charge that ex.National
Board Member J. L. Gears had been in
collision with Others in connection with
the stock market, that the miners had
refused to put up tents sent them unless
pa d for it, that the miners had demand
ed a per diem wage while on the strike,
aud that, finally, after over $500, 600
had been poured into the field and the
strike had been irretrievably lost, he had
advised settlement,
Randall, was expelled from the con-
vention, this morning, and expelled
from the organization until he makes
public retraction.
1t is rumored that President Mitchell
will resign his office.

THE ATTITUDE of Speaker Cannon
against tariff revision was Endorsed yes
lerday by the American Protective Tariff
League. at its annual meeting, held IN
New York. A resolution also was
adopted urging that the tariff be
let alone "until such timeas it shall have
been clearly demonstrated by general
experience and practical knowledge that
changes in the schedules will be pro-
duclive of degree of benefit to the
whole country that shall outweigh the
disadvantages and the injuries resulting
from tariff revision" OF course this
means that the Protective Tariff League
will continue forever to oppose any tariff
relief to the oyer-taxed people OF this
country.
