IN COMMEMORATION

Unveiling of n Monument in Ftont
of the Til st Unxleigiound An
thracite Mine.
Probably the most significant of thr
days events, at leat the one most
poey linked with the early history
of the city, was the unveiling of tin
inouiiincnt or tablet which was einted
In front of the first underground nn
thra ite (mil mine in Ameilca, in puli

Kllpatiltk, who was the chairman of
the occnslOii.
The Unveiling.
Thii unveiling followed the labor
parade which ended shortly after 1

along the roadway that skirts the
monument, were President T. D. Nic

Mayor Kilpatrick's Greeting.
After l-ehr; presented by Mr. Swl
gfit Mayor Kllpatrlck gave a hearty
welcome to the multitude and pointed
out the significance nf the occasion.
He then autnpd the chairmanship of
the ecrilses and introduced lieese W.
Hughes. Ml. Hughes wis i ho-eu be

Mr, Hughes Bocomoo Rominisoent.
Mr, Hughes was nioxtly lemlniscent
ill his talk, lie Is well acquainted with
the I'.uly history of the mines in nnd
alioiit Cnrhondale, because nf facts that
he heard his father telate and by tea
Fon of he himself being concerned in
scnit tragic haiipenlngs about tho old
winkings heie.
Mi. Hughes a voi red ih,u the opening
of tho mine was a fact that would
tv ver be obliterated f:o-n the history
of Cnrbondnle and the aithracite re
Plons, but would be or.fciilcuous until

Ml. Law asi-uied the multitude thnt
no ctioi had been made In designating
this as the fit nt undei ground opening,
tor hi himself had the words of hh
own latin r thai this was the site of
the Hist mine
'Often," said Mr. Law "my father

would say, 'Now. Charlie, I won't likely
live so long as you to i-pvnk of this fact,
but It It's ever disputed as to whore
tl'p til st iiudeigiound opening was,
you can tell them that it was hero.'
Thei. he would point to this very spot.
This was fully fifty ye.us ago. when
the opening, which has since been
ic veied, was visible."
Mr. Law, tlnoiigh pitsonal observa

THE MASS MEETING
ON SANDY'S HILL
Largo Crowds Oathor to Listen
to President John Mitchell.
Rain Interferes,
The Fates, or unyboly or nny old
thing ou wnnt to call It, were unkind
to say the least, to the tabor men
who gathered on Sandy's hill yester
day nftcrnoon to the number of nbout
S.l'JO to listen to President John Mitch
ell, of tho United Mine Workers;
' Mother" Jones nnd the other speak
eis who were to p.uticlpato In the nf
o! neon's programme, devised to put
the llnlshlng touches to the Labor dny
celebintlon. In the midst of Mr. Mlteh-f-11'n
nddipss thp rilti which had been
thieatetilng for some time to disturb
mntlou began to fall. It continued to
dtop, bigger drops following the big
oms until tho spcttatois were being
tn nloel to a free shower bath. Mr.
Mitchell was willing to stick It out, for
th-' shower promised to bo short-lived,
nnd the multitude was mmc willing an 1
ii. a loud chorus shouted Its willingness
to defy the bravo to hear him, but tho
rain pelted so hard thnt Mr. Mitchell
could not make hlmelf heard nnd had
to ghi way to the supeilor force of the
elit cuts This Mr. Mitchell regretted
exrecd HRly, since hchad Just entered
Into the ills tlsslon of the eight-hour
dn proposition for mine woikers and
was anxious to discuss tho subject.
The Opening.
Pirl.ent John Walsh, of the Cen-t.-.
I Labor union, was the chnlrman.
In- pipoputed Mayor Kllpatrlck. who
welcomed tho visiting mlneis nnd ex
te.idc' to them tho freedom of tho
c-.;
l.dward McKay, of McKeesport. of
the natlnnnl board of Mine Workers;
Preldent Nichols, of District No. 1, nnd
PhuI Pulaski, vice piesldent of the
Ninth district of the United Mine
Wrskers, pieeecled Mr. Mitchell. The
hut den of the tnlks was tho encourage
ment of tho members of tho union,
nnd counseling them to continue tho
spiilt nnd good behavior displayed
Since the spring ngreement with the
coal operators, which would, they de
cl.ieed, be h big factor in bringing
Jihniit what was aimed at by the otgan
inatioii, tho conference with the oper
utotr. chief among thes-e.
Mr. Mitchell Speaks.
Mi. M.tchell, In opening his nddress,
dls'ci.fsed tho procession of tho day,
and snld It bespoke tho harmony that
nuil exist between the woiking people,
the labor unions and the merchants
and men following commercial pur
tults. Incidentally he 'said that he
know of no place, besides Cat-bondnle,
v here there were less pnlaecs and less
bevels, than Cnrbondnle, also wdiere
tl.ue was a more equal division of
wealth. This is a good .ndlcatlon. for
the wealth of a place Is not to be Judged
by the number of millionaires, but by
the number of homes of tollcis.
What Mine Workers Have Done.
i i-ii.lnc down to tho purpose of the
gathering of woikmen, which was to
1 MOM is s it M p .
I e.i 11. - l -in lie
If am something n whaa the United
Mine Woikers Intended to do for them.
Mi. Min hell asked what the organiza
tion had done in the past, and by way
o Illustration pointed out thnt it mado
the homes of the mlneis happier; it
riadi tho miners freer and more Inde
pendent. Furthermore, tho organiza
tion was heie to stay. It wns said by
our oi ponents, aftpr tho dose of the
tocent sti Ike, that with tho we.ulng off
of the enthusiasm of that time tho
Un'teil Mlno Woikers would ceaFe;
trey would forget their obligations;
I hoy would die and pass out of sight.
Hut If the demonstrations which we
mw todiy, If those that I have been
witnessing nie any criterion by which
to Judge of tho life of the United Mlno
Workers, then they aie fnr from death,
nnd give promise of living foiever.
This Is not n religious, u tempernnca
nor a political organization, Mr. Mit
chell continued. It Is a trades' union
puio and simple and aimed to reach
all that Is highest and noblest In man
kind; it teaches Its men to be honest
nnd to ko-qi contracts which they may
make; it i.sks Its members to send to
fchool tho children where they belong
and not in tho breaker.
Talk About Dividends.
The I'nlted Mlno Workers, ho said.
hae paid creator dividends than tho
sitandaid Oil company; It hi lugs great
er iciuins Jem the Moignn banking
houses. The $5,000 thnt were spoilt Inst
year in.-i eased tho earnings of minors
by $7.fOf.O0D. Tho miners didn't loose
a single day's work Inst year by ren
bon of strikes, notwithstanding tho
newspaper statements that the men
ruUciecl the loss of U9 days. It Isn't
true that ll.ey lost these day, for they
worked us many d?tys us tho year be
foie. The mlneis can't lose ono day
through ldlen-ss, nut .so long as their
In coal In the market, not until con
Himurs use something else for fuel.
In the soft coal legions there wns not
enc day's Idleness m four Mates. There,
tho cxpendituio of $,500,000 brought
JM.OOO.OOl) retUlll In wages. Does Mor
gan's banking house pay such divi
dends. Why Mr. Kockefeler would
like to buy th United Mlno Workers
If they .oro for sale,
Tho Eight-Hour Dny.
Uut the United Mlno Workers hasn't
fulfilled its mission, and will not have
done so until every hoy who Is In the
breaker ,s at school, until tho homes
of tho mlneis nro as comfortable as
other trades people. What tho United
I mtt i 'A
Wfr ' '
Mlno Workers hope to bring nbout In
the nenr future in tho anthracite conl
region Is the eight hour day. It has
been the experience of every united
laboi body that worm will not become
permanent until the number of hours
of the working day go down.
Tlito wns ns fnr tis Mr. Mitchell pro
cotuled when the rain fell and broke up
the meeting. Mr. Mitchell will be in
Cnrbondnle until Friday. On thnt ev
ening he will address a local ut Forest
City.
