Highton Will Speak at Metropolitan Temple October 16. Henry E. Highton, the well-known at- and lite-long Democrat, has de- clared for McKinléy and has accepted an invitation from the Republican State Cen- tral Committee to deliver an address at Metropolitan Temple Tuesday night, Octo- ber 16 ie will probably deliver a few ma torney | other addresses during the canipaign. nel George Store. chairman of the State Central Committee, heard lately that Mr. Highton had said to friends that net only could not support Bryan, but also that he beijeved the best interests of the countsy would be served by the re- election Presidept McKinley. Colonel Stone went to the attorney and the latter consented to state his reasons for his po- sition in a public address. Highton declined yesterday to state gth his reasons fof advocating of McKinley. saving that he r such statement until his public address. “I will speak,” Mr. Highton said, “from the standpoint of Jeffersonian Democracy. | My fundamental political op'nions remain precisely what they have been during my fifty-one vears of residence in this State. In 1296 T declined to advocate the Chicago platform with its Populistic annex, but 1 didn’t vote for McKinley. This year I find it inconsistent with my views of the his- tory and destiny of the Democratic party to indorse the platform adopted at g\'ln— sas City. which has reasserted what I be- ve to be the heresies of 1896. My view of the situation can best be expressed in .the propositions that Mr. Bryan represents European and not American democracy, and that the worst forms of imperialism and of proiection are embodied in the socialistic theories that have taken possession of the Demo- cratic organization.” — Police Commissioners Meet.

In fact, there were many indications to-day of an intent on the payt of the strikers to insist on other concessions and also remain out until the operators give recognition to their national organization. ILKESBARRE, Pa Oct. The parade and mass-meeting of the striking miners In this city to-day was the greatest labor | demo; ation ever held In Northeastern Pennsylvania. Barly in the morning the steam and electric, roads be- gan hauling the people into the city and | many thousands came by foot from near- | by towns. The bufldings along the route of parade were decorated with flags and bunting and the city presented a hoilday appearance. President Mitchell and party arrived from Hazleton shortly after 1 o’clock and were met at the station by a large and enthusiastic crowd. The visitors were given a cheer and were then driven to their hotel. The parade, headed by President Mitch o | 1l and the officers of the national execu- d citizens of the Forty-first Dis- | His spe- | the banner of | | | | | tive board, started a little after 2 o’clock and it required an hour and twenty min- | utes to pass a given point. It is estimated | that there were fully 16000 men and breaker-boys in line. “The great majority of the paraders were stalwart men. As a rule they were well dressed and some of them from-their appearance might be taken for farmers. They did not march with precision, but were a dense mass of | humanity. % They walked six, five and four abreast. The music was furnished by about forty | brass bands and drum corps. Many banners and transparencies were carried by She men. Among the most noticeable were these: “We want our dinner-pails filled with substantial food, not coal barons’ taffy.” “We are fighting a cause that is just and right.” “Stand by President Mitcheil and the union.” “Our union must be recognized.” | “We will no longer be slaves.” 1 ““Two thousand two hundred and forty | pounds for a ton.” “We want two weeks’ pay.” The breaker-boys carried banners which read: | “We need schooling, but must work.” “Save us from.the whims of the Sheriff | and deputies.” “Down with oppression. We will stand by Mitchell.” | The parade passed over the principal streets of the c‘ty and thousands of peo- | ple lined the sidewalks. Here and there | an enthusiastic admirer of President | Mitchell would break through the lines | and insist on shaking hands with him. | The men from Pittston had a float with | four men representing “‘coal barons.” They | were drinking what purported to be cham- | pagne. Directly opposite was a float with miners dining on bread and water. A | stretcher was carried contalning a dum- | my representing a miner who had just lost his life in a mine. President Mitchell reviewed the great | army of marchers on the river common. He was generously applauded by the | marchers. Business was at a_standstill in the city all the afternoon. The super- intendents of the coal companies and their | clerks viewed the parade from their of- fice buildings. One coal man said it was & very creditable demonstration. It was after 4 o’clock when the last of the marchers swept past President Mitch- ell. Then_he and his colleagues were driven to West Side Park, .where the big mass-meeting was held. For several hours a crowd had becn gathering there, and it was estimated that nearly 20,000 people were massed in front of the stand when the labor president began his speech. The reception he got from the vast crowd wa most enthusiastic. : In opening his speech Mr. Mitchell as- sured the strikers that in their fight they command the respect of the clergymen, that they have the a{mpmhy of the public and that the press of the country has said in one voice that their cause is a righteous one. “The greatest strike in the history of the world c sald, “Is drawing to.a close. Already the great coal carrying raflroads have agreed to increase your wages 10 per oent, which is a great victory in itself. True, it is not enough,’it does not satisfy us; but the time is not far dis- tant when the anthracite coal miners will regetve as much for their labor as any other class of gvorkmen in the world.” Continuing he urged the miners not to place absolute faith in their grelldem or any other one man, but to put their faith in their organization. Standing together, he declared, thex would win their battle; and he predicted that they would stand firm and the victory would be achieved. The national president was followed by Fred Dilcher of Ohio, Benjamin James of Pennsylvania, both members of the ex- ecutive board, and ‘‘Mother”” Mary Jones. After the meeting President Mitchell was drlvr through cheering crowds to his hotel, where he will remain until 8 o’clock o Caient Mitcheil's address, as far as outlining any future movement on the | Lackawanna and Western | day pos | of the strikers by any means. part of the labor leaders’is concerned, was | @ disappointment.

Similar notices were posted to-day by the Hillsdale Coal and Tron Company and the Temple Iron and Coal Company, General Superintendent Rose of the Del- aware and Hudson Company said his com- | pany would undoubtedly issue the same notice.

WILL GRANT 'MORE = TIME. Vice President Sayre Speaks of the Proffered Increase. NEW YORK, Oct. 2—Vice President Sayre of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com- pany said to-day regarding the strikers’ refusal to a®eept the 10 per cent increasc in wages offered them by some com- panie % “I cannot tell what our next step wili be in case the striking miners definitely and absolutely reject our concessions. It is a contingency which we have not had occasion to discuss much as yet. This much is certain, however, the companies will walt some little time before taking any further steps and will give their former employes time to theroughly un- derstand the situation.” VERY FEW MEN RETURN. Additional Ten Per Cent Has Little Effect at Hazleton. HAZLETON, Pa., Oct. 2.—Reports re- ceived here this morning indicate that the 10 per cent increase in wages offered by some of the coal companies to the mine workers In this region had no apparent ef- fect in bringing the striking miners back to work. The mine workers as a rule de- clare they will not make a move toward resumption of work until ordered to do so by a mine workers' convention. Half a dozen houses in different parts of the city occupied by non-striking mine workers were stoned during the night by unknown persons.

SHAMOKIN, Pa., Oct. 2—The mine operators of Mid Valley and Natalle ex- pected a sufficlent number of men and ' boy able ‘them to ship at least dinary daily tonnage to market, but there were less than 400 at botn the mines. Over 2200 employes were on the pay roli before the strike. None of the collieries in this place were started up_ this morning. The North Franklin, at Trevorton, is stll in opera- tion. The deputies have been instructed to prevent strikers from canvassing the men going to and returning from work. g T JOIN RANKS OF STRIKERS. Men Are Deserting Lincoln and Good Spring Collieries.
