MASS MEETING
OF STRIKERS
ADDRESS BY NATIONAL PBESI
DENT MITCHELL.
Dcclnres That if tho Miners Lose tho
Tight, tho Operators Will Heduco
Their Wages to Hocoup Strike
Losses Worst Enemy of the Strik
ers, Ho Says, Is the One Among
Them Who Violates tho Law Mag
netic Young Lpoder Is Given a

Shipped.
The first of the series of big mas3
meetings at central points In the an
thracite region, arranged by the strike
lcadeis, took plact, yesterday after
noon ut tho Hound Woods. Between
7,u00 and 8,000 strikers, women and boys
JOHN MITCHELL,
National President of the U. M. W. of A.
attended and heard addresses by Presi
dent John Mitchell and a number of the
local officers of tho Mine Worke'rs.
Further than voting unanimously by
raised hands to light tho fight to a
finish the meeting took no action.
The crowd was made up of mine
workers from all over Scranton and
tho adjoining towns, some coming from
as far North as Olyphant and as far
south as Duryou. Locals from Provi
dence, Bellevue and Taylor, marched
to the meeting behind a band or drum
corps and carrying flags and banners.
The intense sultiiness of tho day, It is
claimed, dlssauatled many from, join
ing these marchers. The North End
contingent which was expected to come
2000 strong had less than half that
number In line. Many North Scranton
men, however, traveled to tho meeting
by trolley.
The meeting was advertised for 2
o'clock, but it whs nearly an hour later
when it was gotten under way. The
day was extiemely hot, tho thermometer
registering S."i in the shade, and the
"woods" which have become very
scarce In the matter of live trees, af
forded little protection from the sun.
The crowd, however, was very patient
and seemed not to mind in the least
the haidshlp It was enduring to demon
strate Us loyalty to the strike cause
or get a glimpse of Mitchell as the case
might bo.
SIZE OF THE CROWD.
The small platform was erected on
the top of a slight elevation at the
northern end of the woods. All around
it in a circle, lil'ty yards In diameter the
sweltering crowd wus packed. The
trees' commanding a view of the plat
form were fairly alive with boys and
some men. Several bundled women
stdod about tho edge of tho crowd.
Theophllus Phillips, president of the
West Scranton sub-district was chair
man of the mooting. With him on the
platform were President John Mitchell,
District President T. D. NIcholls, Dis
trict Vice-President Adam Itybcnvagp,
District Secretary-Treasurer John T.
Dempsoy, Organizer Martin Memola
and others. All these named made ad
dresses. Vice President Bysc.ivuge
spoke in Polish and Organizer Memola
In Italian.
The crowd enthusiastically cheered
all the speakers, and fairly went wild
over Mitchell. When he was Introduced
to speak, bomeone shouted, "Hats off,"
and ulthough the sun's rays beat down
so Intensely that many were carried
f i oni tho oiowd exhausted, every man
In the Mifat assemblage bared his head
and remained uncovered until the
speech was concluded. Then the crowd
singed about the platform and shook
the hands of tho magnetic young
leader until he sank exhausted Into a
chair. Tho long-drawn-out "Ah!" that
went up from tho throng as Mitchell
almost collapsed was elociuent of pity
and splf-condemnntlon. "Don't kill the
man!" shouted someone in tho ciowd.
"Wo need him."
Mitchell's speech was brief and deult
mainly with the live Issues of the con
flict. Ho said:
MITCHELL'S SPEECH.
Ladles and gentlemen: It Ih needless to
say 1 am pleased to meet so many of
tho men and women who uie making this
Bieut, silent, passive- stiugglu for higher
citizenship and American conditions of
employment.
I havo not como hero to discuss tho
fundamental principles of tho stiiko situ
ation or tho philosophy of tho labor ques
tion. I am hero to pay my humble trlli
uto to your people who are fighting tho
fight so well. I ,huve also como for an
other purpose.
It bus been said by soma who aio not
your friends that tho miners of tho Scran
ton leglun uro getting tired of tho strlko
and about to return to woik. 1 como to
find out If this Is so, I want to know If
you iiro going to return to woik, dishon
oring your organization and dishonoring
yoursolves." (Cries of "Novorl Never!"
"No!" "Don't you believe it," und the
like.)
Tho Issuo la clearly defined. It Is one
thing or another with you, On tho quo
hand Is dishonor and misery. On tho
other, years of comparative peace and
piosperlty and tho upholding of your In
tcEiity, If tho stilko Is lost, may Ood Almighty
help tho men, women and children who
depend for their subsistence on tho min
ing of nuthravlto coal. If the stilko is
lost you will pay tho co,t of tho Htrlke.
Tho operutois uro no more humane now
than they have been for tho last twenty
flvo years; than they were when they
drove your llttlu boys to the breaker und
your little girls to the mills.
I want to bay that tho anthracite mln
eis went on stilko themselves. They,
themselves, voted for the stilko. It wus
not tho officers of the United Mine Work
eis who called the strike. It will never
cud until you vote It ended.
Fiorn tho oflices of tho coal presidents
In New York comes tho declaration that
tho strlko will be settled only In their
way or settling it. I would repeat
what I said In this connection In
tho l?00 strlko; "The coal trust may bo
powerful and strong, but the American
people whose hearts throb In bympattiy

with tho minors' cause, aro stronger than
the coal truit." Tho Atncilcau people, like
a Jury, havo passed upon this conflict.
Thpy lienrd of tho minora' requests for
betterment of conditions and tho opera
tors' refusal. Thpy heard of tho minors'
proposition to arbitrate and the operators'
further refusal. Ninety per cent, ot tho
people of America hnvo ngreed that th'o
miners aro right and tho operators wrong.
SOME LOCAL FEATURES.
There nro some locul fe.atuios of tho
strlko I want to dNcuss wlthyou. I un
derstand there Is some dissatisfaction and
misunderstanding about the distribution
of the relief fund. Tho operators havo
sent men umong you to urge you to bo
dlssutlsllcd. Through tho newspapers
they have told you that you were dis
satisfied. We have sent a circular to nil
thu locals which will explain In detail the
plans for distributing relief, and I trust,
when you hour It icud, there will bo nn
end to dissatisfaction and misunderstand
ing. While wo haven't got millions, wo
havo enough to see to It that no miner
will starve during tho contlnuanco of the
strlko. (Loud cheers.)
I want to uppenl to men with means to
refialn from applying for relief. Lot tho
fund be used by those who aro in abso
luto need of help, lie patient with your
committees. Put your shoulder to the
wheel and do your share of tho work.
Don't depend altogether on your officers
to win your fight. If wo aru to win we
must all help.
The one among you who vlolntes the
law is the worst enemy you havo. No
one is more pleased than the operators in
New Yoik to hear of disorder in tho coal
regions. I want our men to exercise all
the rights that Inure to them under tho
laws, but I want that no man shall
transgress the laws.
The strike will bo won. (Cheers). I
have no more doubt about It ilinn I havo
that I am standing hero addressing you.
(Cheers).
The operators aro trying to make It ap
pear that the strike is beginning to break
un. There Is a saying that those who
come fiom afar can lie with impunity.
At Shamokln, tho operators tell tho
strikers, that the men at Vt'llkes-Barro
aro returning to work. At Wllkcs-Barro
they tell them tho men at Shamokln are
returning, und at other places they tell
them tho men at Scranton aie wpakenlng.
I fall to see any signs of weakening here.
(Laughter and applause).
.NO MORE STRIKES.
This is possibly the last time I will' ever
talk to you. I want jou to listen to me.
I want to Impress on u the importance
of winning this strike. If you win, as
you biircly will win, there will bo no
more strikes; there will be a basis of
adjustment arrived at which will prevent
stiikes.
Victory means better homes, hapnler
wives, happier children and better condi
tions genomlly. If you loso the strike,
tho operators will make you pay for their
stilko losses by reducing your wages.
And, if you lose the strike, you loso your
organization. I trust and hopo and con
stantly pray you will stand ns you did
In 1!)00. (Cheers and ciles of "We will.")
Befoio tho handshaking episode be
gan, Chairman Phillips asked nil who
favored a light to a finish to raise their
hands. Every hand went up. Some
one shouted: "Raise both hands."
Both hands went nn sill around, and
than followed a period of hearty cheer-

Twenty-five years ago yesterday,
August 1, 1877, 10,000 striking Illinois,
who hnd been out for six months, mot
nt this samo Round Woods, In almost
tho Identical spot where today's meet
ing was held, and, with uplifted hands,
vowed they would not leturn to work
until their demands were granted. That
afternoon occurred the memorable riot
on Lackawanna avenue, when a com
pany of hastily formed vlgllnnts killed
two men by firing upon a procession
made ud of strikers from this and un
other mass meeting, who were bent on
burning breokcrs, and who had nearly
killed Mayor McKune, when he tried
to halt them. A week later tho minora
went back to work without gaining nny
concession and with their union dis
rupted. As n precaution against a possible
disorder, a big squad of pollco was kept
In reserve at headuarters and twenty
patrolmen were stationed In tho neigh
borhood of the Oxford colliery, which
Is within sight of where the mass meet
ing was held,
AS AN ARBITRATOR.
Mr, Mitchell spent last night In the
city and w)l this morning act on the
board of arbitrators which Js to settle
tho street car dispute.
Tho Oxford und Cayuga continued to
work yesterday, The Oxford loaded
some cars and shipped them over tho
Luekuwunmi, according to the state
ment of President Crawford. Ho nlsp
said that nine old employes returned
to work yesterday, and that lie expects
a number of others to return today and
Monday.
Wot'k was continued yesterday, an
usual, at the Cayuga, coal being hoisted

puutlfully gotten up, with a handsome
Id, und may bo had for the asking,
and run through the breaker. During
the early part of tho week another
strike occurred at tho Cayuga colliery.
The company hands refused to handle
or mine any coal. Several big railroad
cars of stove coal, which was run
through tho breaker, was sent out on
the road yesterday.
" About two 'hundred strikers assem
bled at the Cayuga, yesterday morning
to try to Induce the men to quit work,
but their efforts were fruitless. The
men were taken to work under guards.
Sheriff Schadt and his deputies were
on the scene. No lawlessness occurred.
Work was also continued at the
Dickson colliery yesterday, about 100
men reporting for duty. The mules
were lowered Thursday.
In yesterday's Tribune It was erron
eously stated that the Von Storch col
liery of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company was In good shape
to resume operations and" could bo ex
pected to start up at any time. It
should have read the Storrs colliery of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company. Tho Von Storch Is a
Delaware and Hudson colliery.
The Panconst washery at Throop Is
to resume operations' next Monday.
Grand Master P. T. Hawley, of the
Switchmen's Union of North America,
was In the city yesterday, and last
night paid a visit to President John
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
of America, at the St. Charles hotel.
Mr. Hawley stated to a Tribune man
yesterday morning that he was here on
strictly routine business matters, and
that he would leave the city today for
his home in Buffalo.
"Everything connected with our union
is In tip-top shape," he remarked, and
added, with a smile: "There Is nothing
at all doing just now for the news
papers." "Can your call upon Mr. Mitchell to
night be construed as having any sig
nificance?" he was asked, and recited:
"None at all. It's a purely personal
visit."
A THRILLING PLUNGE.
Wright Spencer Fell Headlong Into
a Well, and Was Only Rescued
After Exciting Experiences.
As Wright Spencer, of Pleasant
Mount, was engaged in repairing a
well curb, on Thursday, he lost his bal
ance and fell headfirst into the well, a
distance of twenty-five feet. He plunged
through fifteen feet of water, his head
striking tho ground at the bottom.
When he struggled to the surface h(s
head came In contact with the bucket
with such force that it nearly rendered
him insensible.
He was more fortunate In the second
attempt, however, and succeeded in
getting his head above water again.
He clung to the stones on the side of
the well, and shouted for help. Some
children, passing, heard his voice, and
he was soon drawn out; and feels but
little worse for his Involuntary plunge.
ROBBED HIS FATHER.
Young 3oy Charged with Forgery
and Larceny.
William Greamp, aged 1G years, who
resided with his parents at 338 North
Rebecca avenue, was sent to tho coun

The first day of a new month In The
Tribune's Educational Contest was a
good one. Only eight contestants scored,
but they brought In a goodly number
of points and several of them havo a
very fair start for the special honor
prizes for August. In addition to this
they have materially bettered their
scores in the main contest.
Each of the three first leaders, scored,
but Mr. Kellerman has a better hold on
first place this morning by three points.
Kred K. Gunster succeeded In reaching
the thiee hundred mark and is but ten
points behind fourth place, his former
position. William Sherwood, of Har
ford, who scored the largest number of
points for the day, came very near
making tenth place. Four points more
and ho would havo passed up.
Down in the middle of the table, from
seventeenth to twenty-first pluces, there
was considerable changing about. Hen
drick Adams, of Chinchilla, and Leo
Culver, of Springvllle, both scored, each
going up two places. This made It nec
essary for three other contestants to
drop buck slightly.
A. L. Clark, of Green Grove, was a
new contestant who made his first score
yesteidny. It was not a very largo re
turn, but it is a start, and it will prob
ably not bo many days before his name
will appear among tho thirty-three
leadors.
Three Cameras as August Frizes.
Tho Tribune has decided to offer
three special prizes to the three con
testants scoilng the largest number of
points during the month of August.
These three prizes are entirely separ
