TAMAQUA, Pa, Aug. %, 1906
President John Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, backed by 10000 union
men, has thrown down the gauntlet to
Divine Right Baer, president of the
Anthracite Community of Interests. 1t
means peace for all time or war to the
bitter end in the anthracite coal regions.
When the present wage agreement
with the anthracite operators expires on
April /, 1908, it will not be renewed I'M
less an eight-hour working day and re-
cognition of the union is agreed to by the
coal barons.
Shiuld this demand be refused a strike
greater even than that of 1902, which
caused untold suffering among the poor,
gave greedy operators an opportunity to
boost the price of anthracite to figure
that allowed the rich only to burn it, and
was settled only through the personal In
terventien of President Roosevelt, Is
bound to come.
.ss si.lsl,ag declaration of peace or
EaE was made by President Mitchell in a
stirring address before 5000 persons at
Manila Park during his tour Of the an
thracite regions.
In making his declaration that his
