NOTHING SHORT OF MIRACLE
CAN PREVENT A BIG STRIKE
Session Of Convention OF Miners Develops Prac-
ticaIy Unanimous Sentiment of Favor
of Strike
MT. CARMEL IS VERY QUIET

Scranton, Penn. May 3-Toady's
session of the miners of the Tri-Dis-
trict convention were Improbable eX-
cept in SO far rs they revealed prac-
tically unanimous sentiment for a
strike. Tonight ii is believed nothing
short of a miracle can prevent strike
from being declared either tomorrow
or Saturday AT the conclusion Of the
afternoon ession President Mitchell
made a statement IN the course Of
which he used the word strike for
the first time since the pgesent nego-
tation began. Here is what he said to
the newspaper men:
There is not much to say at this
time as was indicated while you were
present at the opening of the after
noon session. The sentiment seems
very strong against accepting the con
dtion and restricted arbitration sche
dule proposed by the operators or re-
newing the award of the anthracite
strike commission for threa years. The
strike feeling has been intensified by
the unfortunate and unjustiiiabe ac-
ton OF the state constabulary al
Mount Carmel, as we'll as their con
duet in other parts Of the coal regions
s nee the suspension went into effect !
OF course, II cannot. be stated posi- |
lively what the vote will be. That will !
not be known until Friday afternoon |
or Saturday
The morning session of the conyen-
ton was purely formal. Al the after
noon session Mitchell made brief |
speech in lieu Of the joint scale com |
mittee report had been sent to the
printers.
He briefly reviewed the negotiations
In so far as they have progressed and
said the committee had perhaps gone
even further than 1t would have gone
