PRESIDENT MITCHELL
STILL IN NEW YORK
Be States That His Mission Is to
Visit Friends and Kefuses to Dis
miss the Situation Quiet About the
Headquarters District Convention
at Nanticoke Disposes of Consider
able Business of a Boutine Nature.
President Nicholls Will Be Re-
, elected.
By Uxclushc Wire from The Associated Press.
. Wllkes-Barrc, Pa., July 7. With
President John Mitchell In Now York
and Mill the other miners leaders at
Nanticoke attending the annual con
vention of district No. 1, strike head
quarters was an exeremely quiet place
today. The ninth week of the suspen
k elon of anthracite coal mining shows
no change in the situation, there being
not the slightest indication that either
party to the controversy is ready to
quit. The visit of the miner's chief to
New" York continues to arouse Interest.
No word of his movements In the
metropolis has been received here, and
there Is much speculation as to what
called him to go theie. Conditions in
and about the collieries remain un
changed, excepting that the heavy rains
of the last few days has Increased the
amount of water somewhat in many
of the mines. Mining superintendents
do not fear much trouble frotn this,
most of them expressing their con
fidence that with a dry spell the pumps
will rapidly reduce It to its normal
level. The entire coal belt was gener
ally very quiet, very few men emigre
gating in the vicinity of the collieries.
The large force pf coal and Iron police
men, estimated at- 3,000 are keptvconi
sfantly on duty for'";a1iy,Jiemergency.
There was several urrests made in this
valley today of persons accused of in
timidating alleged "unfair" workmen,
but the urrests were made so quietly,
however, ' as to cuuse np disturbance
of any kind.
Tle district convention at Nanticoke
today disposed of considerable business
cf a routine nature. About 40 dele
gates representing 75,000 mine workers
are attending the convention which
embraces all the territory from Forest
City, 22 miles north of Scranton, to
Shicksljlnny, 1C miles south of Wllkes
Barrc. Reports of officers were pie
sented and referred to committees and
the balloting for officers was begun.
There Is some opposition to Secretary
John Dempsey and Vice President
Adorn Roscavage. President T. D.
Nicholls will be unanimously re-elected.
The result of the election of the other
officers will not be known until tomor
row. During the afternoon. District
Presidents Duffy, of the Lehigh dis
trict and Fahy, of the Schuylkill ter
ritory made brief addresses in which
they urged the delegates to stand firm
during the progress of the strike.
Harry White, of New York, national
secretary of the Garment Workers
union, who, along with President Mit
chell Is n member of the Chic federa
tion's conciliation committee of 36, ar
rived here today for a conference with
Mr. Mitchell. Mr, White said ho came
here to offer to the miners the co
operatloh of organized labor. He sold

TfieVcrnl Individuals who nie not con

mlneis strike. They desire, ho said, to
sec tho men win, and they have made
a proposition to the Civic federation to
help the mine wotkera In a substantial
way If such aid would be of any use.

AGAINST STRIKERS.
Ten Men at Williamstown Will Be
Arrested for Interfering. -
By Inclusive Wire from The Associated I'resj.
Harrlsburg, Pa., July 7. Sheriff
Itelff swore out warrants hero this
morning for the arrest of ten strikers
nt Williamstown for inciting a riot and
interfering with his deputies while they
were protecting non-union men going
to and from work In the mines at
Lykens and Williamstown. The sheriff
says the situation in the region Is very
critical and that If there Is another
outbreak like that of last Wednesday,
when he and his deputies were assault
ed while protecting non-union miners,
he will call upon Governor Stone for
protection by the militia'.
Twenty of the rioters were arrested
on Tuesday at Williamstown and held
in ball for court, but this does not seem
to have Improved the situation and the
sheriff concluded to bring suit here and
compel the rioters to come to Harrls
burg for n hearing and furnish bail, if
It can be procured. , He came here
early this afternoon to make Informa
tion against the rioters and returned
to the Lykens region at noon to assist
his deputies In arresting the strikers,
for whom warrants have been issued.
BUTLER WASHERY
RESUMES OPERATION
A Mine Worker States That He Has
Been Unable to Secure Relief
from the Union.
Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
Plttston, July 7. There were several
developments In the strike situation
here today that were more or less Im
portant', principally among them be
ing the starting of the Butler wushery.
the otdering to work of several mine
crews on the Lehigh Valley who were
laid off since the strike started, and
the statement of a mine worker that
he had been -refused relief by the
union, and that although he and sev
eral friends were nnxlous to go to
work, they were afraid to. t
It has been seven weektnince the
Hillside Coal company ltus made any
attempt to work its Butler washery,
situated in Plttston township, having
closed down several weeks after the
strike, owing to the serious disturb
ances which took place., Yr was ru
mored several days aguiha an at
tempt would be made this well to re
sume, and this morning the rilnor be
came a positive fact. Last wjjek the
foice of deputies was increased and
several workmen Imported to Uie col
liery. Although but little coal fis run
through the place today, It Is tl'ought
the washery will be running aloW as
usual within a dav, or so.
Yesterday a number of Lehigh Val
ley railroad employes who work on
what are called the mine crews, were
ordered to report for work. Today it
Is reported they Avere at work shifting
cars Into mine sidings. This is slgnl
fieent, and the Inference is taken that
some use may be found for the car? In
the very near future.
Frank Kochin, a foreigner, made a
statement here today, Indicating that
all the strikers are not satisfied with
their lot. Kochin states that he is a
married man, with a wife und nvo chil
dren, and Is n member of Chapman
local, United Mine Workers of Ameri
ca. 'Although he was not llnanelaijl,'
prepared for a strike, he responded to
tho order, and as his reserve money
had given out, he applied to the union
for relief, ,He says he has only been
given $4, and that it Is not possible to
get ony moie. He finds It Impossible
to support his family, and, although
ho is willing to go to work, he is
afraid to. He made the statement un
solicited, and he says he knows of a
number of men of his nationality who
are of the some feeling.
Rumors were current this afternoon
of more trouble at Duryea, but they
probably grew out of the fac t that
Sheriff Jacobs, of Luzerne county, had
sent fourteen deputies to that borough
to serve several warrants, wihch tho
constables could not. Tho warrants
were issued by Squire Ehret, of West
Plttston, for tho nrrest of Anthony
Walukas and his lfo and his father-lu-I.iw,
tho prosecutor being 1, C. Har
ris, a coal and Iron policeman at tho
Babylon colliery, who charged the for
mer with threatening him with a gun,
and the others us accomplices. Con
stables Darrow had tho warrants In
hand, but could not servo them be
cause of the Interference of the crowd
which congrgated Saturday. The war
rants were accordingly given to tho
sheriff, und this afternoon Chief De
puty Fred Rhodda, with five deputies,
nrrlved at tho homo of tho defendants
nt Duryea. Tho only one' ho could lo
cate was Mrs. Walukas, and sho re
fused to bo arrested. Fearing trouble,
the sheriff was asked for more assist
ance and eight more deputies were hur
ried from "Wllkes-Harro to tho scene.
Mrs, Walukas wns finally persuaded
to accompany tho officers to Squire
Ollboy's ofllce, close by, where she en
tered ball In the sum of $500. The
other warrants were placed In the
hands of Constable AVIIItam Rlttle, of
Duryea, and ho promised to get the
defendants tonight, A crowd of sev
eral hundred watched tho proceedings,
but mude no demonstration.

NEW SUIT AGAINST
STEEL CORPORATION
Another Effort Made to Prevent Con
version of Preferred Stock Into
Bonds.
By 'Exclusive Wlic from llie Associated l'ics.
Trenton, N. J July 7. A new suit
against the United States Steel corpor
ation has been instituted in the court
of chancery to restrain the conversion
of preferred stock of the corporation
Into bonds. A rule to show cause was
granted by Vice Chancellor Emery at
Newark returnable, before him ln the
same city on July 15. A temporary or
der was also granted restraining the
conversion of the preferred stock into
bonds.
This suit was brought by the same
counsel that represented Mrs. Miriam
Berger In the suit now waiting in the
court of errors. The new feature of
this suit is that J. Plerpont Morgan
& Co. are made party defendants. All
of the directors of the United States
Steel coiporatlon are also personally
named as defendants, The suit is
brought by Franklin W. Hopkins and
Allison R. Hopkins, tmdlng as Hopkins
Brothers, J. Asplnwall-Hodge, Bernard
Smith and William H. Curtlss. It Is
charged that the proposition to convert
the preferred stock into bonds was the
result of domination In the board of
directors of the steel corpoiation of J,
P. Morgan and other members of the
firm of J. P. Morgan & Co, and others
who were allied with them In business.
Accompanying the bill In the new
suit to restrain the conversion of pre
ferred stock into bonds, Is an affida
vit of James H, Lancaster, an expert
mechanical engineer, who bays he has
made a study of the plants of the steel
corporation, and he places their value
at not more than $500,000,000. It is
charged that of those who voted for
tho conversion, many were stock brok
ers, who held stock on margin for
others, und that they had no legal
right to vote tho stock.

STRIKE OF
FREIGHT
HANDLERS
Lack ot Unanlmltu fllreadu Perme-
ates the Tie-Up, It
Is Said.
ABOUT 9,000 MEN
INVOLVED IN STRIKE
The Freight Handlers of the Lake
Shore and Michigan Central Roads
Were Receiving All the Considera
tion Asked of Employers but
Porced to Strike by Order of the
Executive Committee of Their
Union Freight Is Accumulating
in Chicago Yards.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press, '
Chicago, July 7. Hopes of m speedy
settlement of tho strike of "the' freight
handlers' union, which was declared
today, are entertained tonight, by offi
cials of the union and members of the
state board of arbitration. The officials
of the union tonight told Chairman Job
of the board of arbitration that they
were willing to permit employes of the
different companies to meet officials of
the same to discuss the wage scale,
providing a Joint conference should be
held, at which officials of the union
would be permitted to act as advisers
to the men. Tho arbitration board Is
now working on the matter' In an effort
to bring about a conference between
the railway managers and committees
representing the men. As the railway
officials have favored this step from the
beginning of the controversy, there is
little doubt that the strike can be set
tled satisfactorily to both sides If the
conferences shall be arranged. About
9,000 men are involved.
Lack of unanimity already permeates
the strike. Tho Chicago Federation of
Labor was Ignored when the order was
issued for tho ntan to quit work and Its
executive officials aic somewhat offend
ed and are Inclined to let the freight
handlers light out their battle in their
own way. There are 12,000 freight;
handlers in and about the various,
freight houses of the twenty-four rail
roads centering 1m Chicago. Of course
this number more than 9,000 are now
involved In the stilke. Some of the
men who quit .work today did so under
ptotest. Notably this was -the case in
the freight houses of the Lake Shore
and Michigan Central road.
Men Forced to Strike.
The men there employed were re
ceiving all the consideration they had
asked, They were forced to strike,
however, by the order of the executive
committee of their union. Before going
out, the men informed the railway of
ficials of the situation nnd said that
they would seek an Immediate return
under orders of the authority that or
dered them out.
The sudden suspension of customary
operations by the freight handlers to
day occasioned considerable trouble in
and about the various railway ware
houses and depots, but the inconven
ience and delay were but a drop In the
bucket to what will happen tomorrow
and later in the week If the strike
shall not be settled sooner.
To add to the present difficulties of
the railroads, the teamsters and truck
drivers union threatens to Join In a
sympathetic strike. If this shall occur,
It will affect nil Incoming and outgoing
freight of every kind. Every railroad
In Chicago today, accepted all freight
offered, While It was confessed by
several railroad officials that freight
was not being moved us expediously aa
heretofore, yet It was said the largest
part of It was being handled reasonably
well.
The various freight houses and yards(
however, disclosed a considerable ac
cumulation ot unmoved freight and
cars loaded with freight. A portion of
It marked "perishable" filled the side
tracks of all the railroads.
There was no trouble or disorder In
or about any of the freight houses.
Anticipating tho possibilities or such
a strike, tho railroad companies had
brought to Chicago a considerable num
ber of men to take the places of tho
strikers. These men were intercepted
by pickets of the strikers and most
of them Induced to Join tho freight
handlers union.

KING EDWARD'S
HOT ON TRAIL OF TRACEY.
Sheriff's Posse Close Upon the Seattle
Desperado.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Trcw.
Seattle, Wash., July 7. At the ex
treme head of Miller's bay, the White
Hall boat, which carried Harry Tracey
and Anderson away from Port Madison
Saturday nlgfht has been found. In It
was a pair of oars. Everything else
hnd been carried away.
The boat had been pulled In from the
beach and stowed awny In a clump of
bushes and Tracey evidently felt secure
In the belief that It would not be found
for several days at least. This very
fact may lead to developments some
what earlier than any one had hoped
for.
The head of Miller's bay Is but a few
miles overland from Port Gamble. It
Is directly north of Port Madison, In
dian reservation, where, according to
an Indian woman, Tracey was seen this
afternoon. Sheriff Coke with a posse
left Port Madison early this morning
to search tho Miller's bay district In
response to Information received from
the Indian reservation. Immediately
after the discovery of the boat, the
party discovered a fresh trail leading
into the fprest. Tracks of two men
were plainly discernible and there was
no doubt In the minds of the members
of the posse that they were hot on the
track of Tracey and his unwilling part
ner, Anderson. Shortly after noon
Deputy Cook and his party made their
way into the forest and it will probably
be late tonight before they are again
heard from.
