THE RESULT OF OVERWORK
John Mitchell, President of tho United Mine Workers Of America,
 Almost Nervous Wreck.

Spring Valley, Ill. Dee 4.-Many friends have called al tie home of John Mitchell. president of the United Mine Workers of America. inquiring about his health. They were told that MT. Mitchell could see no one at pres ent. Mrs. Mitchell stated that her hus- band needed q eew days rest and quiet.
 The nervous disorder with which Presidenl Mitchell is now attacked has been brought on by working day and night fo. many months in the anthra- cite coal districts and elsewhere. For long time his health has been i'm paired, and it is thought here that un- less he improves he will be compelled to decline a reelection as president Of the United Mine Workers of America. In that event he will probably move west. where he owns farm and de- vote tho remainder of his life to ths problems of agriculture instead of tho more complex ones that surround tho labor question.
