Jjournment was taken until 2 o’clock in the afternoon. MITCHELL IS CHAIRMAN. The afternoon session began at 2:10 o'clock, with only the accredited dele- gates and a small army of newspaper men present. The final reports of the creden- tials committee were called for and they showed "a total of 662 delegates present, authorized to cast 867 votes. Without any speechmaking Mitchell was elected per- manent chairman and National Secretary- Treasurer W. B. Wilson was seclected as the permanent secretary. Just as«the cheering for the election of the two offi- clals was ended President Mitchell walked on the stage. The instant the delegates saw him they roses en masse and cheered their leader for several minutes. When the enthusiasm had subsided an outburst of another char- acter was precipitated by the newspaper correspopdents. - A motion was made to go into executive session, but before a vote could be taken upon it a petition was presented, signed by all the corre- spondents assigned to the .convention, re- questing that they be permitted to.remain in order to make an accurate report of the proceedings. The petition pointed out the fact that the whole dountry was inter- ested in the proceedings. After some de- bate for and against the request, the cir- respondents won, but no sooner had the convention started to proceed to the regu- lar business than a delegate rose and ob- jected to the presence of the newspaper reporters, if the strikers who were not delegates and who were standing in great numbers in the street in front of the hall could not be admitted. A desultory de- bate followed, and’ suddenly a rush was heard in the upper gallery. Some one had burst open the door from the outside, and the theater was soon filled with almost as many union meh who were not delegates as there were delegates. Confusion reigned for a time, and President Mitch- ell, after he had restored quiet, came to the rescue and suggested that the public be permitted to remain until the conVen- tion reached such business as would war- rant the strikers in closing the doors. This was adopted and the strike leader began reading his carefully prepared opening address_as follows: PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. Gentlemen: In opening this convention for the transaction of business I take pleasure in extending warm greeting and welcome to the accredited representatives of the 150,000 men and boys whose heroic struggle for living wagea and American conditions of employment has the admiration of the whole civilized world. Language is inadequate to express the sense of pride I feel in you and those you represent. Jt is not my purpose to review the progress of the strike er even to enumerate the im- portant events which have now passed into history. Imprinted indelibly upon the hearts of our people are the memories of sufferings and hardships which have been and are being endured. For five long months the eyes of the nation have been centered upon your ac- tions, and it ig a pleasure to say that the great heart of the American people throbbed in sympathy with vou. It Is, of course, & source of deep regret that the millions of underpaid workmen of our great cities should e the most acute sufferers by reason of this contest between ourselves and our employers. But, strange as it may appear, hundreds upon hundreds of those who suffered most from lack of fuel sent words of commendation and encouragement to us, and in many instances declared that they would endure any priva- tion in order that the miners and their fam- flies might secure a sufficient wage to ennrle them to enjov a little happiness and sunshine instead of the gloom and the sadness which ade=to-order )y thes 510 to 835 We make suits and overcoats to order at prices ranging from $10 to $35, and the making is so thoroughly good that we guarantee the clothes by offer- . ing your money back if you are not sat- - isfied.

Powell and Eddy Streets has been their lot for many years. The debt of gratitude we owe our fellow- workers in this and other lands, the debt of gratitude we owe a generous public and a friendly press who have supported and sus- tained us during this memorable strike can never be adequately repald. For our opponents we entertain mo feeling of malice. While they have maligned our characters. impugned our motives and sought the victory by methods which we should scorn to use, yet on this day when we have secured an avenue of redress, on this day when the realization of our hopes and ambitions seems near, when the prospect of a brighter and hap- pler future seems assured, we should hold out to them the hand of friendship and ask them to join us in providing for such business rela- tlons as shall for all time establish peace and tranquillity in the coal flelds. . NO DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS. The grave question which you have been called upon to consider to- demands and must receive your most caref thought. Per- sonally I should have preferred an adjustment of the difficuties existing in the anthracite field by conference with the anthracite mine owners and without the intervention of agen- cties not directly involved, but I recognize the fact that relations between ourselves and the operators have become so strained as to ren- der direct negotiation at this time impossible. It the consequences of this strike affected only the interests of the operators and mine work- ers there would be less reason for the inter- vention of a tHird party, but the fact that a coal femine. was upon the people of the East- ern and seaboard States and threatened to become a national calamity justifies the sc- tion of the Chief Exacutive of our nation in s earnest effort to bring about an early re- shmption of mining. The’ proposition submitted for your consider- ation may have objectionable features and in its detall may not meet with the unanimous approval of our people, but it is immeasurably better as now presented than when originally offered by the representatives of the coal cor- poratione, 1 am firm in my conviction that the prompt acceptance of this propot will eecure to the anthracite mine workers and those dependent upon them a greater measure of justice than they could attain by continuing the conflict; I believe the prompt acceptance of this proposi- tion will secure to the mine workers a greater degree of justice than they Have enjoyed in the past. The people of our country await with anx- ious expectancy the result of your action to-day: the eyes of the nation are centered upon you, and friends and foes alike demand the eub- mission of issues involved in this strike to the tribunal nominated by the President of the United States. That there are discordant elements in this convention, that there dissatisfled ones at home, I 'am fully aware, but gentlemen, with all the earnestness of which I am possessed I urge that you give your approval to the action of your executive offi- cers who have recommended acceptance of the proposition that the strike be declared off and all men are then to return to work in the positions and working places occupied by them prior to the Inauguration of the strike, and that all questions at issue be submitted for ad- justment to the tribunal selected by the Presi- dent of the United States. DEMAND- ASSURANCES. The address was followed with the closest attention by the delegates. Those who expected Mitehell to tell all he knew of the situation with reference tothe arbi- tration question and the question of hav- ing all the men obtain their former posi- tions were disappointed, as he reserved this for his later remarks; when the ques- tion was actually brought before the dele- gates. At various stages of the reading of the address Mitchell was applauded, but when he urged the delegates to adopt the recommendations ofthe executive boards to call off the striké “‘and all the men then to work in the positions they occupied before the strike was inaugurated” tre- mendous applause greeted the remark. The moment he finished a Wilkesbarre delegate was on his feet and moved that the recommendations contained in Presi- dent Mitchell's address be adopted. If this had been acted upon at once the strike would have been off and the con- vention’s work done, but those in opposi- tion would not have 4t that way. They If you are not en- — ‘wanted to and did debate the matter unil the adjournment, after 5 o'clock. A Panther Creek engineer was the first to take the floor in opposition to accept- ing the plan until he and his colleagues had some assurance that they would be reinstated in their old positions. The com- panies have said, he declared, that they ‘will not dismiss the men now employed by them and place strikers in their positions. A number of other delegates spoke along the same lines and then more confusion resulted over the presence of persons who ‘were not delegates. One delegate took the ground that many of those in the hall were strangers. “We do not know whether Baer, Oli- phant or John Markle is in the hall ready to vote on the proposition to come before the men,” he sald. D After ‘some speech-making President Mitchell again straightened out matte: by .requesting all those excepting news- paper men who did not have credentials to leave the hall. About half of those present retired. The question then reverted to the mo- tion to adopt the recommendations of the officers to call off the strike and refer all questions at issue to President Roosevelt's commission. The debate was resumed, but before the discussion had proceeded many minutes a _delegate demanded that the credentials of all those in the building be examined, to sec that no one was in the place not entitled to admittance. This was done, and then a motion was made to reconsider the vote by which the news- paper men were permitted to remain in the hall. The motion was defeated. Presi- dent Mitchell then requested the corre- spondents not to mention the name of any delegate in their reports, on the ground that it might injure him in obtaining work. This ended the debate on the corre- spondents. : REINSTATEMENT OF STRIKERS. The question again reverted to that of reinstatement of the 'men. A dozen speeches were made for and against the question of some specific action for assur- ance that the men would get back their places if they returned to work. It was argued by ong delegate that the calling out of the erigineers, firemen and pump- men was a mistake, but as good union men they obeyed. He wanted the union to stand by those men now and not turn its back on them. > A delegate arose and asked President Mitchell to express his views on the sub- ject. He immediately responded - and made one of the most important addresses he has been called on to make during the past five months. He spoke slowly and clearly, and every word was listened to with great interest because it was looked upon by the delegates as the real speech ‘of the .day. The strike leader spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention: I desire to inform you tirat the president of your organiza- tion has done all he can to learn the attitude of the companies toward the mén who are now on strike. As you know, the companies refuse direct negotfations with us. Through interme- diaties we h: ed assurance that the companies are going to meet the issues square- ly; that they are not disposed to blacklist the men; that they do not purpose to’ be yndictive; that as far as possible men are tobe returned to their old places. It may take some time be- fore that can be brought about, and it may be that some few men will not be restored to their former positions at all. When you vote on this proposition you must do it with as full knowl- edge of the situation as I can give Yo Now, let me emphasize this point: That the boy that worked in a breaker s as dear 10 us as the man who ran the best engine; that while we shall try with all the power we have man that struck back to His old efforts for none and We want the en- E to get eve job, we will make spec show special favors to none. gineers and the firemen and the pumpmen and the inspectors and the bosses to go back, but we do not want them to go back one bit more than we want the little breaker boys to go back. There was no single class of workmen who went out on a sympathetic strike. Every an who struck struck for wages; he struck for exactly the same thing the miners and the mine laborers struck for. As far as it is within the power of the union,we shall afford protec- tion to every man, unfon and non-union, who went out on strike with us. - But, gentlemen, it may be true that some wiil be sacrificed, and, much as we shall regret that, I desire to say that no battle was ever fought, no victory was ver won, that did not carry with it some vic- ims. Lives have been lost to gain the most brilliant victories that were ever won in the world, If it appeals to your judgment to ac- cept the recommendations of your officers; it you decide to defer to the judgment of the Pres- ident of your country; if you wish to be guided by the advice of your friends all over the land, and decide to return to work, the United Mine Workers of America will protect the man who happens to be left out of his job. In our pledge to the President of the United States, in which we notified him that we would recommend to you a resumption, we sald to him that,we $hould recommend a return of our people to their old positions, and if the coal companies fail to give our men their old places, if they tall to treat them honorably, we shall carry the question to the tribunal named by the Presi- dent and ask that tribunal to decide that we are entitled to the work we left when we went on strike, EXPECT TO GET OLD PLACES. Now, gentlemen, those are my views. I have no assurance that if you return to work on Wednesday all of you will be given your old places. 1 do belleve, however, that the coal operators will gradually displace the men who have your jobs and give you your old places | again. I dare say that hundreds of the men ‘who were brought here from the cities and from the farme to take your places will return to the citles and farms.when you g0 back. I have no doubt at all that before two or three weeld | have rolled by there will be no question about the reinstatement of the men. However, re- member this, that when your votes are cast I want you to cast them with the full knowledge that some of you may not get your old places back. 1 dare say the companies are as anx- jous to have competent . engineers, firemen, pumpmen and inspectors as you are to fill those places, and you know that men they brought here to take your places are not com- tent. You all know that the men they rought here to take your places are not compe- tent to run the holisting engines; that the fire- men they have brought here have not been suc- cessful, and while the companies will not go out before the public and say they will “sacri- fice the men who st« by them,” as they call it, they will In most cases be glad to have their old and competent workmen back. His 1emarks were greeted with ap- plause. Another delegate made a speech ageainst ending the strike without definite assurance of reinstatement, and Mitchell was again called upon for an explanation of the status of the arbitration plan as it now stands. In response to this re- quest he sald: We have not adopted their proposition as they made it, and the proposjtion would never, with my consent, have been adopted as they made it. When the coal companies sought to practically name the arbitrators we objected and secured a modification of their proposal. That modification enabled the President to se- lect men outside of the classes suggested by the operators. Organized labor s represented on the comm 1 do mot, however, assume that elther the capitalists or the trade union- ists who are on the commission will permit their special Interests to influence their judg- ment in making their decisions: but organized labor is on that commission, and it is there be- cause the President of the United States wanted it there and because we would not agree to the proposition unless it was there. “LET US GO TO WORK.” Then the delegates again took up‘the debate. Mény of the delegates spoke with great earnestness. ‘Three of them were willing to return to work and trust to fthe unfon to do justice to them. An- other was willing to leave the whole mat. ter in the hands of President Roosevelt's commission, and another said: “If I cannot get my job, I can look for another one. Therefore, let us go to work and give the American pzople some coal.”’ The sentiment of the last speaker was loudly applauded. After further debate on both sides of the question it was de- cided to let the question go over until to-morrow . A commmittee on reso- || lutions was then inted, and at 5:18 p. m. the conver ‘adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morro ning. The com- DR. KILMER’S SWAMP-ROOT.
