STORM OF CHEERS
GREET MITCHELL
FORMER PRESIDENT APPEARS AT
UNITED MINE WORKERS
CONVENTION.
ADDRESS Meeting At Length
Denies Charges Made That Laborlns
Men Wish Special Privileges and
Declares for Rights
Guaranteed.

Indianapolis. Ind.-Friday was John
Mitchell day In the convention of tho
United Mine Workers OF America.
When the former president OF the
miners appeared on the stage OF Tom.
linson Hall, the thirteen hundred
delegates went wild with enthusiasm.
There was a storm OF cheers and many
of the delegates wept from intense
emotion. Seldom has ouch a scene
been witnessed in convention.
Mr.. Mitchell who was deeply moved,
came forward to the edge OF tho plat
form and said: Il feel keenly sensitive
TO the reception you have given me
this day, II would seem that at least
In n miners convention, a former
leader Of lRboring people loses none
of his lustre, because he is sentenced
10 Jail J"
Condition Of the Organization.
He was interrupted by another
thunderous outburst of applause.
When the turmoil had subsidized. Mr..
Mitchell began n long speech dealing
with the condition of the organization
but principally with the sentence to
Jail imposed on him, Samuel Com.
pers. and Frank Morrison by Judge
Wright of the District OF Columbia
and his conception of it's significance
to the cause of organized labor and
the freedom OF speech.
His address frequently was broken
by shouts OF approval from his
audience who hung intent on his every
word.
Mr.. Mitchell pictured what he con.
sidercd the injustice OF n system by
which the constitutional rights of
free speech and free press were
denied" and by which men could be
deprived OF their liberty without q
trial by jury.
Need Of Legislation.
He denied the charges made that
laboring men wish special privileges
under the law; but declared that they
do wish rights guaranteed by the
constitution to oil men. He said the
Wright decision only emphasized the
need of legislation that will secure to
every citizen the right OF trial by jury
before being sent to Jail. He review
ed his own case. pointing out that his
greatest offense seemed to consist OF
presiding over the miners convention
that last year passed an unfair" or
boycott resolution against the pro-
duct OF an alleged unfair concern. He
declared that he had knowledge OF the
resolution: that he had not assisted in
preparing II ana that he was simply
presiding when II was presented. He
decried any system OF government
that in such a case did not take into
consideration all of the elements that
rightly would come before jury.
Injunction Not All Bad.
Mr.. Mitchell dweit upon the fact
that this was a day Of a great fight
for the rights that the forefathers OF
the people, and for which men, among
them his own father had fought as
soldiers. The injunction he declared
was not all bad; but he said It had
been used as an instrument OF oppres-
sion.
p. ]. McLester. delegate moved n
petition be prepared addressed to
President Roosevelt and protesting
against the Wright decision. The
motion was adopted. The petition is
to be signed by every delegate and Of.
iiccr IN the convention.

CHILLY BOY" MAKES
HIT ON THE STAGE

Riverside, Cal, Oct. 21.-Before
many weeks have passed. the people
of the east may have an opportunity
of seeing a thrilling stage production
of the last bloody two weeks of the
career of Billy Boy, the Piute In
dian murderer.
A melodrama of the most lurid
type, based on the love of Billy Boy
for Mary Nita, the Indian maid; the
murder of the girl and her father,
Mike Boniface, and the man hunt
on the desert has been staged at a
local theater, and has been, in its
way, an unqualified success. The lines
were written by Robert Clark, To-
cal amateur playwright.
The play was produced in spite of a
protest filed with the theater man
agement by a committee from the
Riverside Ministerial union. Long be-
fore the curtain rose for the first act
the house was packed from pit to bal
cony.
Clarke announced his intention Of
offering his play to eastern managers.
