Expected to BrcaI
PRESIDENT DOLAN, OF PITTS.
BURG DISTRICT, ISSUES STATE
MENT IN WHICH HE At
TACKS MITCHELL.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 12.-In the opin-
ion of President Patrick Dolan, of the
Pittsburg local of the United Mine
Workers of America a national strike
of coal miners at the present time
would be little short d a calamity. He
holds that strike is uncalled for, and
believes that should one be permitted
il would end in all probability in dis
NAL failure.
BY this declaration. which he makes
in a statement issued yesterday, Presi-
dent Dolan brings TO a crisis the split
between the leaders of the miners. His
statement is an answer to the criti-
cism to which he has been subjected
for voting in the Indianapolis joint con-
vention against a strike and for reaf-
firmation of the present wage scale.
For this action his resignation was de-
manded by the Pittsburg local.
Savage Attack on John Mitchell.
President Dolan, in addition TO ex-
planning his own position, savagely at
tackled National President John Mitch
ell, who, he declares, never yet has won
a strike for the coal miners. The first
great anthracite strike, Dolan contends.
was settled by Mark Hanna, the sec
ond by President Roosevelt. AS for
the big soft coal strike, he asserts, all
ended in the defeat of the union.
In his argument against a national
strike he points out that the wages of
the miners have been increased more
than 100 per cent and their hours of
labor reduced from ten to eight hours
a day since 1897, and that strike az
this time, instead of winning greater
concessions, jeopardizes those already
gained.
Declared Self Reelected.
Pittsburg, Feb. 12.-After six days
of turmoil and strife, the delegates to
the miners convention of Pittsburg dis
trict secured a breathing spell Satur
day afternoon by adjourning until next
Wednesday. Before the close, however,
President Dolan was successful in hav-
ing the election tellers' report read.
and despite appeals from his decision
declared himself, Uriah Bellingham
