Indianapolis, October 20.-John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, today furnished the following statement to the Associated Press:
 During the past few days l have re- ceived numerous inquiries from secre- taries of our local unions in reference to a poster containing an enlarged likeness of myself, below which is printed what purports to be an interview With me bearing upon the political situation. Some of these letters are written in spirit Of criticism, while others are commendatory, and request that additional posters be mailed for distribution
 ''In order to remove any misunderstand- ing that may exist I take this means Of informing our members that have not mailed or authorized anyone else to mail to any member or officer of our union, or to anyone else, any poster containing my likeness or giving expression to my political views, except so far as these views are expressed in the official cir culars authorized by the executive coun- ci of the American Federation of Labor
 'Only short time ago weekly paper, published in the city of Buffalo, printed what was purported to be a telegram signed by me, declaring unequivocally for one of the presidential candidates and with equal emphasis voicing opposition to another The telegram-which has been given wide circulation-was not written

 HIS POSITION CLEAR

by me or by, my authority. I never saw
 it or heard of it until it appeared in the columns of the publication referred to.
 "As I understand the policy of the American labor movement and the action of the United Mine Workers of America it is that the generalization of labor is not committed to any political party; that the worlSingmen of America are endeavor ing as far as lies in their power, and without regard to political affiliations to elect to public office bonafide members of trades unions or other candidates who are known to be in sympathy with the political and industrial reforms neces- sary to the protection and preservation of the interests of the wage earners.
 q am sure that I shall not be charged with partisanship when I advise each citizen to examine carefully the principles and policies of the candidates; to con sider seriously the effect of the election upon the nation as a whole and upon that division of society in particular to which he belongs; and having done this, it is his duty to cast his ballot in con nection with his best judgment, and with the dictates of his conscience"

SNATCHED FROM
 LIVING CRAVE

Ellis, Kas., October 2O.-The timely in- tervention of a physician who was not satisfied with the appearance of the body. today prevented the burial alive of Mrs. Thomas Chapman. 60 years old, who was supposed to have died suddenly of heart disease on Saturday. The body was pre- pared for burial, but was not embalmed. The funeral was to have taken place at 2:So o'clock this afternoon. A few min utes before the coffin was sealed A .phy- sician requested permission to see the body. An examination confirmed his sus- picions that the woman's body was made rigid by suspended animation. The woman was removed from the coffin, placed in bed and revived. While her heart is weak, it is believed that Mrs. Chapman will recover.

LABOR UNION ENDORSES
 THE POLICY OF GOMPERS

Washington, October 20.-(Special) )-By an almost unanimous vote the Central Labor Union tonight indorsed a letter bearing the signature of Samuel Com pers, explanatory of the position taken by labor in the present campaign.
 The president of the American Fedora tion of Labor declares at length in the document That labor, in performing a solemn duty in support of political party, does not become a political parry but a partisan to principle.'
 Hardly before the secretary had time to finish reading the letter many of the delegates were on their feet asking that the union go on record as favoring Com pers' attitude.
 If there were any who held an opposite view they were silent and the majority of the delegates rose and shouted "Ayep when the question was put to a vote. MT. Gompers letter in part is as follows:
 "You are believers in the form of gov ernment described by the immortal Lin coin as government of the peoplei for the people and by the people. You would not be true Americans. if you were not HIS lOful ol 6oNcihticht iS h 5oNViii- ment by law and is the direct opposite of the despotic form which is government by discretion. Government by injunction is government by discretion; in other words despotic. You would not willing ly assist in destroying our present form of government in the United States; and I therefore assume that you would have the issue in this campaign stated plainly and simply in order -that you may do your duty.

crown To stay it's progress some remedy must be had, and we therefore appealed to the republican convention at Chicago, and were given the same answer in still more insulting language. if that were possible. We asked for bread and they showed us whip, and in order to be certain that the whip will be effectually used the republican party nominated as it's standard bearer William H. Taft, the originator and specific champion of dis cretionary government, that is, govern ment by injunction. In passing, I may say that his nomination, under the cir cumstances, was logical. It would have been impossible for the party to find a more effective representative of it's poll icy.
 "Labors representatives then went to the democratic party. That party made labor's contention its own. It pledged it's candidates for every office to those remedies which labor had already sub mitted to Congress. The standard bearer of the democratic party, William J. Bry- an, entered fully into the essence of this struggle, and declared that the real is sue in this campaign is Shall the people rule?'
 "The republican party and it's candi- date stand for upholding and further ex- tending into our country a despotic gov ernment vested in the judiciary.
 "The democratic party and it's candi- date stand for government by law vested in the people
 "As workers and citizens we have our franchise. As citizens. We must use 1t to protect and extend equality of all men before the law and obtain individual lib- erty for all men. Fellow-workers, labor calls upon you to be true to yourselves and to each other, to stand faithfully by our friends and elect them, oppose and defeat our enemies, whether they be can didate for President, Congress or other offices-executve, legislative or judicial.

Diaz Wants To Retire.

Mexico City, October 20.-That President Diaz has determined not to be candidate to succeed himself as President of Mex ico at the coming election in 1910 was stated in an article published by El Rio Del Hegar in it's issue of today. This, if accurate, is the first and only confirma- tion which the people of Mexico have had from the supreme magistrate concerning his intention outside of a magazine story published some months ago. In that in terview General Diaz was credited with saying he would never be a candidate again for the presidency. The story of the Presidents contemplated resignation is not generally credited.
