GRIEVANCES
OP MINERS
WHAT PRESIDENT MITCHELL
SAYS ABOUT THEM.
The Mine Workers' National Execu
tive Arrived Hero Yesterday Af
ternoon from Hazleton and in. nn
Interview Declared That Ho An
ticipated No Trouble in Securing
nn Interview with the Operators.
He Soys That General Conditions
Are Unsatisfactory.
President John Mitchell, of the I'nlt
ed Mine Workers of America, arrived
In the city about 2.30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon from Hazleton, and was In
terviewed at tho St. Charles hotel,
shortly after hts arrival, by a Tribune
man. Mr. Mitchell was accompanied
by Mls.s Morris, his private secretary.
Ho will loavo this mornlne for Lake
IrfOdore, whore ho will this afternoon
address those attending tho Central
Labor union excursion, and tonioriow
the mlno workers' prcoldent will 1h the
principal speaker nt tho semi-centennial
celebration nt Carbondale. Ho will
remain lit Carbondalo for a few days,
as he has promised to speak at meet
ings which are to be held at neighbor
ing places, and will then return to this
city.
In the course of his conversation yes
terday, President Mitchell declared that
the conditions nt present existing In
th anthracite? valley nro far from what
they should be. In answer to a direct
Interrogation on tho point, he said, ab
ruptly and emphatically:
"On the. whole, 1 would sny that the
conditions In this Held arc not satis
factory. Met are) being discharged
without cause, contracts are being vio
lated, and an entirely unwarranted op
position la being manifested towards
tho United' Mlno Workers of America.
WHAT MBN CLAIM.
"That," ho continued, with lesa
warmth than ho had allowed himself
nt first to manifest, "Is what is claimed
by the men themselves. I believe that
these complaints, moreover, are the re
sult of the action of local matuige
ments, not done with the knowledge or
consent of heads of companies, who I
do not think would endorse the moves
of superintendents and bosses who ate
enforcing these conditions."
President Mitchell furthermore Mated
that there have been more complaints
of grlevanceo from tire men of No. 1,
or the Scranton district, than from
either of the other dlvlslonn of the an
thracite Held. As will be remembered
at the recent convention In Hazleton,
President Mitchell and the- three dis
trict presidents, T. D. Nlcholls of No.
1. T. J. Duffy of No. 7, and John Fahy
of No. 9, were chosen as n committee
to confer with repiescnlativos of tho
operators and endeavor to recure an
agreement which would finally dispose
of petty strikes and disturbances, nnd
secuie redress for the present griev
ances. Regarding this committee, Presi
dent Mitchell yesterday said:
"Thus far wo have done nothing to
wards attempting to secure an Inter
view, but I clo not entertain tho least
doubt that the operators will receive
the committee which waits upon them,
We will not go down to Now York for
at least a week yet. as we Intend to
llrst meet and arrange our data, be
fore asking for any Interview.
DISTRICT CiIHF.VANCF.ri.
"At our meeting we will consider all
of the district grievances which have
been already mentioned, the card ques
tion, tho refusal to relntate llremen,
etc. It Is not likely that our meeting
will be held In Scranton. We have
not yet decided upon its date."
When President Mitchell was aked
what he thought of the action of the
State Stationary Knglneers' conven
tion whlcr was held hero last Sunday,
In deciding to remain a separate body
from the United Mine Workers of
America, he remarked that the Sta
tionary Knglneers' union did not con
sist wholly of mine engineers and he
supposed that had probably something
to do with the sentiment of the con
vention on th .subject.
PYesliterft Mitchell appeared loath
to diMcttss any of the Individual griev
ances of the mine workers and de
clared that there were none In par
ticular which hud caused the appoint
ment of tho committee, but merely
the (act that they existed, as a com
po;.lte whole. Regarding tlie card
question which has appeared upper
most among this district's grievances
hu sfeld that tho custom of making
periodical examinations had bepn In
practice hero for about six months,
without eny opposition until about a
month ego, -when nil of the companies
tueiden'y protested against It,

Dr. John P. Walker, who Is one of

slttelh in the temple of Cod, showing
himself that ho la Cod."
Rev. Mr. Knapp, at tho outset, ex
plained that In writing these words
Paul was referring to tho second com
ing of Christ nnd was sacking to calm
tlie Thessalonlans who were much
enthused by their belief thnt the Sa
viour would soon again como upon
earth.
ItKFKUKNCE OUSCl'IlK.
The apostle's reference to the son
ot perdition who would nppear befoie
the second coming and would be the
embodiment of all selfishness Is very
obrcltre, bo explained, and has boon
n source of much controversy among
I'.ible .students in all ages.
"Kvery Hlble scholar has been nt a
loss; to explain just what sort of a fig
ure this mysterious son of perdition Is,
Thete havo been persons who have
Miught to Identify historical personages
as tills man of sin. I do not propose
to discuss this phase of the question,
I desire to take Paul's description of
tblc mysterious figure nnd show It to
be a pen-picture of a sort of ideal sin
ner or ii type embodying the essential
qualities that lie at tho root of all
ln.
"I believe that If can be proven that
evfry sinner Is a self-centered man or
woman and that nil sin can bo direct
ly traced to the worship of self.
"Kvery man must acknowledge some
supremo allegiance. Tho good man
looks to Cod and serves Him. Tho sin
ful man exalts himself to the supreme
place and makes of himself a god. He
worships himself sitting In the center
of his temple.
"As we look at this picture we see
In him sin In its very essence. We
find, If we study the man, that out of
his self worship grows every sin of
eveiy future and degree.
"Self-r xaltatloii Is In Itself abun
dantly sinful and out of It grow some
of man's subtlest sins. Tho self cen
tred ni.in gets farther and farther
away from the spiritual every day of
his life. He has a sensation only of
pleasure or pain. When he Is happy
morals, righteousness, religion and
Ood become empty words to him.
ONH 1PK OF SINNKR.
'The solf-dighteous man Is one type
of the self-centred sinner. You speak
to h'ni of Cod's commandments and
ho ti-lla .ou how punctually ho ob
serves iieiii. You speak to him of
sin and he tells you how righteous he
Is with an air of seeming satisfaction.
If he regards other men he does so
with a fC'j'U'i; of scorn or with sneer
ing pride.
"If .lour self-centred man Is a person
of weak will be becomes a slave of
sloth. If on the other hand ho Is ag
gressive and possessed of strong will
hi' feels that ho must make his will
by force and attempts to do so. If he
Is ,i man of strong passions and enjoys
the swift pace of unleashed desire, he
goes down, dowo, down Into the bot
tomless pit of sin.
"The self-centred man finds opposed
to him not only laws and forces but
living men nnd women, whoso cries
he must heed and turn back or whom
he must trample upon,
"Sins of pride and sins of paslon,
sins of Indolence and sins of rebellion,
jtns of the intelligence and sins of the
emotions all trace their origin to the
common soiirco of self-worship.
"The self-centred man should seek
a deeper knowledge of his own faults
for with a deeper knowledge of sins
comes a deeper knowledge of Jesus
Christ. With a deeper knowledge of
sin comes the realization that wo can
not sao (ursolves and that wo neeil
ti Saviour.
"Let us remember, my friends, that
Jesus Christ Is the one great enemy of
human selfishness, who never rests
nnd who gives no quarter, that Jesus
Christ Is tht only being who wholly
conquered self; that Jesus Christ by
His example and teaching did more
than anybody else or any institution
lo bring men to a realization of their
own selfish hearts and by so doing to
hi lug them nearer to Ond; that Jesus
Christ knows all and holds out to you
His cross to make you free saying,
'Whosoever saves his llt'ej shall lose It,
but whosoever shall lose his life for my
sake (dial novo It.
