NOT DISCOUHAGED.
Prcsidont Uoosovolt is by 110 means
discouraged beeauso tho rocent eon
feronco called by him did not solvo
tho problom presontod by conditions
in tlio anthracito region, and although
tho situation is deeidedly discourag
ing tho Presidont docs not givo up.
Ho hns incurrcd tho onmity of tho
oporators beeauso thcy boliovo that ho
sides with tho niinors and ho has in
cnrrcd tho hostility of somo of tho
labor organizations, who eriticiso his
last proposition to Prosidont Mitcholl.
As a mattor of fact, Mr. Koosovelt is
not coucorncd with tho intcrcsts of
citlior tho miuors or thoir omployors.
Ho is doing all in his powor to cnd
tho striko. Cortain pqliticians say
that lio would liavo dono bottor to
lcavo tho situation alono, that ho will
get little thanks and much blanio for
liis laudablo offorts , but ho says ho is
not working for himsolf but for tho
pcoplo whoso roprcsontativo ho is.
Belioving that lio sliould havo a bottor
uuderstanding of tho actual conditions
in tho anthracito region it is now qnito
cortain that tho Prosidont will appoint
a commission to investigate, and do it
thoroughly, that ho may bo ablo to
mako an intolligont and correct roport
to Cougress at tho opomng 01 tlio ses
Bion. In tho mcantimo, ho is urging At
tornoy Gcnoral Knox to sparo 110 re
Boarcli to flud somo logal mothod for
romoving tho "intolerablo situation."
If Gov. Stono calls ou him for federal
troops ho will gladly respond. Ho
feols that ordor mnst bo prosorvcd al
tliough ho boliovcs tho militia will
provo Bufllciont to that ond. Adjutaut
Gcnoral Stcwart and Genoral Corbiu,
of Pouusylania, havo oxplained tlio
situation to tho Prcsidont and assurod
him that tho roports of disordor woro
grcatly oxaggoratod by sousational
nowspapor correspoudonts nnd that
thoir forcos woro nmply ablo to copo
with tho situntiou at prcsout.
Secrotary Shaw is aiding tho Prosi

JOHN jnTCHELL.
When reading of battling armios
ono is curious to learn of tho gonerals
who diroct tho movemonts of tho mon
behind tho 'guns. Whorovor tho tolo-
graph or cablo has told mon nnd
women that thoro is a striko in pro
gress in tho anthracito region in Ponn
sylvania it has mado montiou that tho
miuors woro undor tho loadorship of
ono Jolin Mitcholl, prosidont of tho
United Mino Workors of Amorica.
"Who is this .Tohn Mitcholl, 'and
whoro did ho como from?" is nskod
by hundredB wlio havo ' forgotton his
exploits in 15)00 whon ho and his thou
eands of followors wero victorious in
thoir battlo witli tho oporators. Not
yot thirty-four yoars of ago thiBloador
of thouBaudB of ignoraut minors by n
Binglo word has outailod a loss of ovor
1100,000,000 upon tho peoplo of tho
Unitod States. Who ifi tho man and
whonco camo his powors of orgnuiza
tion and control? By his owu indom
inaitablo pluck and will John Mitch
oll hns mado himsolf tlio rccognizod
hoad of tho mino workors of Amorica.
Ho was fathorlesB at four yoars of ago.
' His odncatiou covored n poriod of only
four yoars from Bix until ton yoars of
ago ho waB n scholar in n backwoods
district in Illiuois. Upon ontoring
his teonB young Mitcholl was obligod
to Bhift for himsolf nnd Bocurod om
ploymont as a broakor boy nt a coal
mino. TIiIb boy who wns destinod to
lcad ono of tho largest, if not tho
lnrgOBt, diviBionB of tho induBtrinl
nrmy of Amorica hns hnd trado union
lsm drillod into Iur mind sinco Biztoon
yoars of ago, at which timo ho jolnod
tho rank of tho old timo Knights of
Labor. Thon ho migratcd to Colorado
and thonco to Arizona. His fortuncs
woro tlioso of tho avorago ndvcntnror.
In 181)1 ho driftcd back to his nativo
Stato, lllin'ols, and, that his biograph
or niight havo an opportnnity towoavo
in a bit of roniaiifc, Mitcholl marricd
nn Irish-Amorican girl, Cathoriuo
O'Kourko, and sottlod in Spring Vul
loy. Thoro aro flvo llttlo Mitoholls
now.
Mitcholl was olected a Kub-trcasuror
of tho orgaiiiztaion of which ho is
now tho hcad. From that timo his
riso was phononenal and thrco yoars
lator tlnds him acting prcsidont of
tho Mino Workors of Amorica. It was
in that ycar, 18'.)S, that tho public out
sido of tho coal region lcamcd of .Tohn
Mitcholl. Ho won rocognition for tho
miuors of soft coal, nnd tho following
ycar his ambition was gruliflod. IIo
was oloctcd prcsidont of tho organiza
tion. Flushed with victory ho lcd tho
nnthraoito workcrs to battlo again in
1000 and won.
For twontj-ono wecks, .Tohn Mitch
oll has wagod war against tho combined
wcalth of practically ovory coal car
rying railroad and ininiug oporator
in Ponusylvamn. liaoliod by his or
ganization, tho Unitod Mino Workors
of Amorica, Mitcholl says ho will wiu.
It is usoloss to writo of what has
trani)irod during tho flvo months past
ovonts aro too wcll kiiown to nccd
rclicarsiug.
In his I101110 lifo .Tohn Mitcholl is
unostontatious.As a citi.on of Spring
Vallcy ho is 0110 of tho foromost. And
ho is not without honor at homo for
his fellow citizous havo niado him
prcsidont of tho board of cducation.
IIo finds timo for athlctics and is at
tho hcad of an athlotic association.
IIo dovotcs a portion of his timo to a
liternry club of which ho is amcmbor.
This is Mitcholl, of whom tho world
is curions to know. This is tho man
who ordcred tho striko. This is tho
man with whom Prcsidont Baer of tho
Reading railroad company rofuscs to
confor. This is tho man to whom
Prcsidont Uoosovolt has granted an
audionco, tho man whoso causo Gov
ornor Odlcll of Now York has eham
pioncd against tho millionaires, and
tho man upou whoso ncf.ount ho
pnblicly rcbouked tho prcsidont of tho
Reading railroad and compolled him
to apologizo.
Tcmporary rolicf was aiforded to
5,000 pcoplo in Now York 011 Saturday
whon 200 tons of coal woro sold at
flftoon ccnts por buckot, "ns tho result
of an arraugomont betwcon tho coal
carrying railroads and tho local dcal
ors. END IN SIGHT.
Washington, Oct. 14. A solution
of tho anthracito striko is in sight.
Tho conforonco betwcon Presidout
Roosovolt and tho mino oporators has
borna fruit. Contrnry to tho gcnernl
opiuiou tho oporators havo agreed to
tho appointmout of a commission by tho
Presidont of tho United States to
whom shall bo referred all questions
at issuo botwcen tho companics and
thoir own cmployes, whethor thoy bo
loug to n union or not, and tho deci
siou of tho commission shall bo nc
copted by tho oporators. Tho com
mission is to consist of an nrmy or
navy engiiKjor, an expert mining en
gineor not eonueeted with tho coal
mining proporties, ono of tho judges
of tho United States court of tho east
orn district of Ponnsylvania, a man
promiuont as a sociologist and a man
who.by activo participation in mining
and in Bolling coal, is familiar with
tho scalo and commorcial futuro.
Tho oporators nlso mnko a part of
thoir proposition that tho minors shall
rotura to work as soon ns tho eommis
Bion is constitutod nnd ceaso all intor
foronco with non-uuiou mon, tho com
mission to namo n dnto whon its flud
iugs shall bo offectivo nnd to govorn
conditions of employmont between tho
companios nnd thoir own omployees for
nt least threo years.
Although Presidont Mitchell makos
no stntemcut it is bolioved by tho ad
miniBtration that tho proposition of
tho oporators will bo accopted by tho
minors, as it covors tho propoition
mado by Mitchell to Presidont Rooso
volt. Wilkesbarro, Pa., Oct. 14. Presi
dont Mitcholl said this morning ho

Mr.

Argus. A Proposition.
Montpclior, Vt., Oct. II), 102.
Kditor of Daily .Tonrnal i Pormit
1110 to nnswor somo of tho Btntcnioiits
mado in tho Evoning Argus of last
wcok Wcdncsday and Thursday oven
ings. First, I wish to ask tho Argus
who struck Soptcmbor 1st., and why
don't thoy toll whoro thoy woro golng
to puf thoir help that woro out 011 11
striko, that is thoso sovon that wonfc
out 0110 wook bcforo Hoptcmher 1st?
Tlio Argus has udvocntod for soveral
ycars that tho propor way to dcnl with
strikcrs was by arbitratiou, but I sup
poso that was not mcaiit for thoir
olllco, for thoy havo absolutoly rofused
to arbitrato this caso, thoy profor to
misinform tho public. with Buch stnto-
nionts as thoy havo mado in thoir
papor. Why don't thoy stato that thoy
would no arbitrato, nlso thnt thoy
advortiscd for non-uuion hclp to tako
union holp's placo? ,
As I fitand roady to dofond tho bnsi-
ncss mon's committco and tho union
as woll, I will mako tho Argus man-
ngcmcnt this proposition, which I usk
Mr. Atkins to accopt or rojoct; I
proposo thnt n public mcoting bo hold
in tho Armory hall, prosidcd ovor by
Mayor Boutwoll, nnd I will ask tho
Argus manageniont to havo nny mnn
thoy wish to roprcscnt thoir sido. I
will tako tho caso from bcginning nnd
will dobato it bcforo tho public. Let
tho ni:iyor appoint a committco of flvo
mcmbors bf tho Logislaturo. Wo nro
not to know who thcy aro until tho
mayor announcos boforo tho dobato,
will doposit $50 to bo uscd for tho
oxpciii-'is of tho mcoting, tho Argus to
put up nn cqual amount. IfI,do not
satisfy tho committeo that tho Argus
manageniont is at fault, thon tho ox
ponses will bo paid out of my $50 and
tlio balanco paid ovor to tho strik
ors. On tho othor hand, if tho com
mittco decidcs that I havo proven tho
Argus at fault, tho oxpensos aro to bo
paid out of thoir doposit nnd balanco
to tho strikcrs. I shall not ask for
any moro timo than thoir roprcsonta
tivo. So, Mr. Atkins, chooso your ninn,
and I will show tho public that tho
courso pnrsuod by this committco was
to help you out of a holo and not tlicin
or tho union. I will also show tho
public that tho fow union mon that
you spoak of aro noaror soven hundrcd
in this city, than a fow, and thnt it
is tho Argus, nnd not tho uuious, that
is carrying 011 tho indecdnt warfaro.
And you can apply tho last two lincs
in Wednesday's Argus to tho manage
niont of tho Argus and not to any of
tho Union mon or busincss mon's com
mitteo. So, thoreforo, Mr. Atkins,
call ou tho chainnan of tho busincss
men's committco, I havo dopositcd my
$50 with him. You can nrraugo o
timo to suit yoursolf for this dobato;
I am roady any timo. Mr. Corry
will pass ovor my $50 to tho mayor as
soon ns yonrs is ready , which had
better bo boforo tho meeting. Now
do not bo threatoniug in tho Argus,
but como out man fashion and meo
tho issuo. Signod,
