President Gompers informed his hearers t by reason of their great patience in king to induce the operators and c: ympanies to grant them a conference nd by the operators refusing to meet them, the sympathy of tne American puo lic was with the men. Their cause was a | just one and by united action they wouid win. ¥ bhad the best kind of a chanc and considerable strength would be ac- corded the United Mine-workers by kindred associations to defeat the opera- tors. The speaker also sald that the clergy made a mistake in advising the men not to strike, but that the wrongs of the workingmen were so great that | they could not now recede an inch from President Mitchell’s order to strike, un- less the operators grant the desired con- cessions. HAZELTON, Pa., Sept. 16.—President Mitchell arrived here to-night, and fmme- diately ofter received a telegram from National Committeeman James, who is at Jeddo, urging Mitchell to come to Jed- do at once and address the men, which he did, calling on the Markle men to recon- sider their decision not to strike. The Markle miners finally decidea to strike. President Mitchell said he had reports from the three anthracite districts which indicate that 125,000 men will not start to work to-morrow. He sald the first and ninth districts would be tiéd up to-night, while the seventh would be almost so. ol ‘Wages Voluntarily Increased. Special Dispatch to The Call.

This advance includes ncar- ly all the men working on the daily wage schedule at Coal Creek, Newcastle, Law- son and Franklin_in Western Washin ton and directly affects over 750 coal min- ers and employes. Officers of the company sfate that no special reason existed for the advanc but that the company realized how wages in other occupations had been going up and desired to show fair treatment*to its men. No demand had been made by the miners. STOPPAGE OF MILLS WILL ENTAIL A GREAT LOSS Spinners in England Are Unable to Obtain Sufficient Sunply of Raw Cotton. MANCHESTER, Sept. 16.—The Man. | chester Textile Mercury estimates that the minimum average of stoppage for the mills will be eight weeks, although the period may be longer, and that the losses, including the wages of 500,000 workers, will be £25,000,000. These losses are attributed to the failure of nature to sul g}y suffi- clent raw material. The English manu- facturer is totally dependent upon a cir- cumseribed arca of forelgn supply and those who provide this supply are now sfraining every nerve to consume the pro- duction at home, thus becoming form- idable competitors of England. v, These competitors.” says the Mercury, are the most formidable who could pos- sibly enter the markets of the world against us. The remedy for the future is the cuitivation of cotton within the realm of Great Britain.

It seems equally certain that a number of operators will make an effort to run their collieries, even though short handed, but whether they will be successful can be determined only when the bfeakers’ whistles the call to work. The operators generally will have théir collieries in condition to begin operations and the whistles will blow as usual, but a large number of the employers admit that there is little hope of being able fo start. The mine workers were orderly, and their leaders were busy address- LOUBET'S AWARD INMPORTANT T0 THIS COUNTRY Mouth of Proposed Isthmian Canal Placed in Nic- aragua.
