JOHN MITCHELL DEFENDS
BIG LABOR ORGANIZATION
Warmly UphoIds Western Federation
of Miners and Denounces SIN
dustriaI Feudalism."

Washington, March 25.--John Mitch
ell, former president of the United
Mine Workers and for ten years chair
man of the trades committee on agree
ment of the National Civic Fedora
ton, warmly defended the Western
Federation of Miners, and denounced
industrial feudalism," which he al
legged existed in the Michigan copper
district, and in the Colorado and West
Virginia coal fields, when he appeared
before the house subcommittee on the
Michigan strike Monday.
"The charge made by mine owners
in Michigan that the Western Fedora
ton of Miners is Socialist organiza-
ton and that on that account agree
ments with it cannot be made, is ut
terly fallacious," said Mitchell. 1.-THE
Western Federation has for some
years made trade agreements it's fun
damental policy. For twelve years it
has bean in control of the Butte cop
per districts, where perfect harmony
has existed with the Amalgamated
Copper company.
RED Socialism does not enter
into the situation as factor. The
Western Federation is affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor,
which has no more connection with
the Socialist party than with any 9TH
er party.

Apropos of the opening of the battle

publishes the following from Gen. Ly-
sander Cutler:
Headquarters, First Division, First
| Corps, Nov. Is, 1863.
To the Governor OF Pennsylvania:
In noticing in the papers today an
account Of the' proposition for a ma
tional cemetery at Gettysburg for the
men that fell there in July last, l am
reminded that have neglected duty
which l owe to one of your regiments.
the Fifty-sixth, and it's brave COM
mander, Col. J. William Holman. That
regiment is in the Second brigade Of
this division, and was at that time
under my command. 1t was my for
tune to be in the advance on the morn
ing of July 1. When we came upon
the ground in front of the enemy Col
onel Hofmann's regiment (being the
second in the column) got into posi-
ton moment sooner than the others,
the enemy advancing in line Of battle
within easy musket range. The at

CURED, rs that the enemy?" My re-
ply was, YES" Turning to his men
he commanded Ready! Right
obliQue Aim-fre!" and the battle Of
Gettysburg was opened. The fire was
followed by other regiments instantly.
Still, that battle on the soil of Penn
sylvania was opened by her own sons,
and it is just that it should become
matter Of history. When Colonel Hof'
mann gave the command "Aim!" I
doubted whether the enemy was near
enough to have the fire effective, and
asked him If he was within range. Not
hearing my question, he fired, and
received my reply in shower Of rebel
bullets, by which many of the coloneps
men were killed and wounded. My
own horse and those of two OF my
staff were wounded at the same time.
81 desire to say 20 your excellency
that the Fifty-sixth is one of the very
best regiments in the service, and that
Colonel Holman is, without qualitica-
ton, one Of the best officers, brave.
faithful and prompt, and most excel
lent disciplinarian. l most earnestly
hope that his faithful services may be
suitably rewarded.
I hope, also, that you will cause
psoper measures to be taken to give
that regiment the credit, which is their
due, of having opened that memorable
battle. Very respectfully, your obedi-
emit servant-L. Cutler, Brigadier Gen
eral

CAREFUL OF HIS OLD DRUM
Head of instrument Was Made From
the Skin of SIckly Lamb Given
to Him by His Father.

A G. A. R. man who drummed
through the Civil war made the drum
he carried, and has it still. The head
Of the drum was made from the skin
of a sheep which was given to him
by his father when 1t was sickly
lamb. He cured the skin himself,
stretching it On pegs, and while 1t was
drying, he went into the woods, cut
down rock maple Of the proper size,
and from the trunk cut the hoops, which
he carefully seasoned and adjusted.
The drumsticks were made of hickory,
polished to a satin smoothness by
means of sandpaper and oil. No an
cient violin maker ever fashioned his
beloved instrument with greater care
and pride than the backwoods boy did
his drum.
But before he was ready to go to
the front he found that the deadly
''borer" had attacked the hoops and
honeycombed them and his work had
to be done all over again. This time
he selected sound hickory with better
luck, and the rattle of the homemade
drum was heard in many OF the big
battles. and is still heard when the
aged drummer boy turns out with his
few remaining comrades.

yet from the colonel concerning the
mishap to the expedition or his own
situation. 1t need not be inferred
from this fact that the colonel has
sustained any personal injury.
On the contrary, Mr.. Fiala's silence
on the subject indicates that the COL

fined to the equipment and the archae-
logical and other specimens gathered
by the expedition for the understand
ing with Mr.. Fiala was that any per-
sonal injury to the colonel was to be
cabled Immediately and fully.
Colonel Roosevelt if letter Janu-

weeks he would reach the headwaters
of an UNEMPLOYED river and that he
expected to go down this, taking with
him his son Kermit, Mr.. Fiala and
George X. Cherrie, representative of
the museum, besides Colonel Rondon

in this letter whether the river had
