GREAT STRIKE OF MINE WORK ERS DECLARED OFF. Vote of the Convention Was Unani mous to Accept President Roose velt's Proposition, and Leave Set tlement of Differences to Commis sion Strike Commission Has Been Called to Meet This Week. Wilkesbarre, Oct. 22. With a shout that fairly shook the convention build ing, the report was received that 117. U00 mine workers who had been on strike since last May, had officially de clared off at noon today the greatest contest ever waged between capital and labor, and placed all questions involv ed In the struggle Into the hands of the arbitration commission appointed by President Roosevelt. When the news was sent to the towns and vil lages down in the valleys and on thrj mountains of the coal regions the strike affected, the inhabitants brpathed a sigh of relief. Everywhere there was rejoicing and in many places the end of the strike was the signal for im promptu town celebrations. While the large family of mine workers and their families, numbering approximately half a million persons are grateful work is to be resumed Thursday, the strikers have still to learn what their reward will be. President Roosevelt having taken prompt action in calling the ar bitrators together for their first meet ing Friday, the miners hope they will know by Thanksgiving day what prac- ... -. f. . ma,ip Ut' ??inL'e The vote to resume mining was unan imous and was reached only after a warm debate. The principal objection to accepting arbitration was that no provision was contained in the scheme to take care of those who would lau to get back their positions or would be unable to get any work at all. fc-ngi neers and pumpmen get better pay than other classes of mine workers and they did not wish to run the risk of losing altogether their places and be compelled to dig coal for a living. This question came up yesterday and wa3 argued up to the time a vote was tak en. No one had any definite plan to offer to overcome the objection, an the report of the committee on resolu tions recommending the strike be de clared off and that all issues be placed in the hands of the arbitration com mission for decision was adopted with out the question being settled. A few moments before adjournment, how ever, a partial solution was reached when a delegate moved the problem be placed in the hands of the executive boards for solution, and his suggestion was adopted. The principal speech of the day was made by National Secretary-Treasurer Wilson, who practically spoke for Mitchell and the National organization. In a strong argument he counselled the men to accept arbitration, the very plan the strikers themselves had offer ed, return to work and trust to the president's tribunal to do them jus tice. The question of taking care of all men who fail to get. work immediately will be a serious one for the union. There is no doubt the executive boards will take care of the engineers, firemen and pumpmen, but there will be thou sands of other classes of mine workers who have to be looked after. In some places hundreds will not be able to get work for weeks, and in other localities where the mines are in very bad condi tion, there will be no employment for many workmen for some months. Now that the strike is over the volume of relief money will decrease and local unions will be compelled to call upon national organizations for assistance when the money now in their hands runs out. With the close .of the great conflict will also end, probably this week, the assessments now being lev ied on all bituminous mine workers af filiated with the union. Officials who care to talk of the situation feel con fident that the national body will come to their assistance and help all who stood out during the suspension. Hundreds of men needed to repair mines and otherwise place them in con dition for operation will be at work to morrow morning, the convention hav ing decided this imperative in order to get the men at work quickly and satis fy the country's demand for coal. All locals will hold meetings tomorrow at which instruction will be given mem bers regarding their applications for work. Mitchell received many con gratulating telegrams from all over th-3 country after the news spread that the strike had ended. On his returning to headquarters he was askeu for an expression of his views on the action of the convention, and in reply said: "I am well pleased with the action of the mine workers in deciding to submit the issues to the commission selected by the president of the United States. The strike itself has demonstrated the power and digni ty of labor. Conservative, intelligent trade unionism has received an ad vancement the effect of which cannot be measured. I earnestly hope and firmly believe that both labor and cap ital have learned lessons from the miner's strike which will enable them to keep peaceful, humane and business methods of adjusting wage differences in the future. After Mitchell had notified President Roosevelt of the action of the conven tion and received a reply to the effect that the commission would me?t in Washington Friday he sent an official announcement to the strikers that the strike was off and advising them to re port for work Thursday morning. The notice caused tho miners to exercise more than usual care in order to avoid accidents, as the present condition of the mines are such there will hs great danger when work is resumed. Mitchell has not made any arrange ments regarding future movements. Ho does not know whether he should go to Washington. The miners' leader will act as attorney for the men at all sessions of the commission and will have with him several assistants. The Tillamook stage was held up Saturday night by three masked men five miles from North Yankill, Ore. The robbers secured $200 from the passen gers, and then escaped.

Members of Strike Commission Sum moned by Telegraph to Meet at National Capital Friday. Washington, Oct. 22. News of the termination of the strike was received by the president with great satisfac tion. Before a formal telegram from Mitchell had reached him he had been informed through the Associated Press of the convention's favorable action. Telegrams had been sent members of the commission summoning them to meet here Friday. It is probable that as soon as the commission organizes President Roosevelt will present a formal letter of Instructions. The first step of the commission will be to take testimony of the miners, who will be regnrded as plaintiffs in the case. Both sides will be Informed they are to be present either personally or by coun sel. The first testimony will probably be heprd at Wilkesbarre and then in Philadelphia and New York. It is prob able thnt during the taking of testi mony reporters of the press will be present. How long the hearings will continue nobody can foretell. At the conclusion each member of the com mission will be supplied with a copy of the testimony and will consider it at his leosure. Subsequently the com mission will reconvene, perhaps In this city, to formulate its report for presen tation to the president. Boston, Oct. 21. The United Irish league convention today voted to send messages of congratulations to Roose velt and Mitchell upon the ending of the coal strike. CREAMERY AND BUTTER MEN.

TWENTY-NINE MEN LOSE THEIR LIVES IN FIRE Chicago Sugar Refinery at Taylor Street and Chicago River Reduced to a Mass of Ruins Inside of Half an Hour Fire Was Caused by an Explosion Two Men Jumped from Seventh Story to the Pavement. Chicago, Oct. 22. By a fire which broke out shortly before midnight in the Glucose Sugar Refinery, at Taylor street and Chicago River, the factory was almost entirely destroyed, and It is said twenty-nine men lost their lives. The number of dead has not been es tablished, but It is known they were In the building and all were working on the seventh floor. The flames spread so rapidly that a man working on the third floor had barely time to escape with his life, and it It not thought the men in the upper story could have avoided death. At midnight two bod ies were taken from the ruins, but the fire was burning so fiercely it was im possible to make further search. The plant consisted of three build ings, the drying house, seven stories in height, the main refinery, four stories high, and another structure four stor ies high. The fire started In the dry ing house, being caused by an explo sion. By the time the first of the fire department arrived the building was ablaze from foundation to roof. It was impossible for the firemen to make any effective fight, and in a short time the walls were down and the building was a mass of ruins in half an hour. The fire was so hot it was feared the Tay lor street viaduct, across which access is had to the South side of the city, would be destroyed, but the firemen saved this after a hard struggle. They bent every effort toward saving the fourteen-story refinery, but so intense was the fire in the drying house that this caught fire in several places and at 12:30 a. m. it was evident, even if it could be saved at all, it would be badly damaged. All the men on the three lower floors of the dry house escaped. Those on the seventh had no chance whatever for their lives. Several of them left the windows and crawled along the sills In an effort to reach a place of safety, but all except two made up their minds this meant certain death. Those two sprang into the air, and struck the pavement, so horribly mangled it was impossible to identify them. These are the bodies said to have been taken out. Four oth ers who jumped from the fourth floor were terribly injured and taken to a hospital. The fire was under control before 1 o'clock. The police then declared, that, In their opinion, the loss of life woulo. not be more than ten or twelve. It is thought the loss of life .may reach thirty. Five bodies have been re covered. Only one has been Identified, Frank Rotheberg. Fire at Marshalltown Marshalltown, Oct. 22.
