JOHN MITCHELL WILL QUIT.
Head of Miners Union. Forced by Ill
Health to Step Down.


He-isa to Step Down.
John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, has
announced that he will retire when
his term expires on April 1. In this
weeks issue of the United Mine Work
ers' Journal, the official organ of the
union, he says. he will not stand for
reelection.
When the news of Mitchells deci
sion reached Wilkesbarre and other
points in the anthracite regions yes
terday it caused much regret among
the miners. In the anthracite, even
more than in the bitunainous coal
miners for his efficient leadership in
the great strikes of 1900 and 1902.
No other man who has ever headed
the miners organization was as popu-
| lar among the rank and file as is
Mitchell
| President Mitchell urges the condi-
tion of his health as his reason for
quitting. A few months ago he I'M
derwant an operation for a strangu
lated hernia, and it is said that a
second operation will be necessary.
Mr.. Mitchell writes as follows:
To the Officers and Members of the
U. NJ. w. of A. Greeting:
: Inasmuch as notices calling fol-
lit
the Office of the secretary, and in or
der that all local unions and mem
bers thereof may be in position tc
express their choice for the Office o.
shall not be a candidate for the
presidency of your organization.
am prompted to arrive at this de
cision because l believe that I NJ
longer am well enough to give you
interests the consideration their i'm
; portance demands
] l shall explain in greater detail il
my annual report to our coming con
vention the causes which impel m,
to give up the high Office to which
you nave electeu me IOf SO man,

l thank you for the confidence 20,
have reposed in me, and l beg yol
to believe that the advancement of m
craft has been my highest ambition
1t is said that Mitchell's choice TO
his successor is w. B. Wilson, secre
tary-treasurer of the organization
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-10-18

November and will take his seat at
the coming session. Thomas L.
Lewis, vice-president of the organiza-
ton, has been a candidate several
times for the presidency, but his pol
icy differs from Mitchells.
The anthracite men probably will
nominate Thomas D. Nichols of
Scranton, who also was elected to
congress last fall.
A difference of opinion among the
unions leaders is said to have some
thing to do with Mitchell's retirement.
Mitchell favors restoring the inter-
state agreement in the central COM
petitive field which was abrogated at
indianapolis in March, 1895. Lewis
favors separate agreements for each
state.
Mitchell was first elected president
in 1898 and has been reelected each
year since that time. 1t is said he
was anxious to retire a year ago, but
did not want to see Lewis succeed
him, and as Lewis appeared the
strongest candidate then, Mitchell de-
cided to stay in.
President Mitchell submitted to an
operation for appendicitis last week
and he has not rallied from it as his
friends hoped He is still very weak
and his condition is giving his friends
great anxiety.

Big Drainage Meeting.

A farmers drainage convention
was held at the Woodmen hall. on
Wednesday, June Goth, and was
largely attended. The sentiment
was unanimous in the belief that
some system of drainage was abso-
lutely necessary. The convention
was addressed by G. G. Elliott,
chief engineer of the drainage in
vestigation agricultural depart
ment of the U. S. government, who
made very interesting talk on
the various methods in use. He
recommends cutting a canal across
the upper side of the land effected
with alkali for the purpose of pre-
venting seepage from the land ir-
rigated higher up than flooding.
To do this it is necessary to have
some canal to carry our waste Wa
ter away from the land. All can
ais should be down into the gravel
about three feet.
Mr. Elliott has given hope that
some surveys will be made this
season to determine the proper
place for some large canals.
ID. E. Newcomb was appointed
chairman of IA committee to keep
in touch with the department
Professor Woodward, assistant to
Nh. Elliott, was here, also Mr.
Jaycox, state engineer.
The visitors, while here. were
driven out to view the country ano
