Seranten Distriet Workers Rejolce That Feace Is at Last Declared. Mitchell Thought War Would Not Be PrufSitable. SCRANTON, Pa, May 7.—The news that the convention had decreed agalnst B sirike was received with great Joy throughout this region. Siuce the cou- j vention mel here it was thought by | many that the result would be the trans | forming of the suspension ute a strike and that the strike, when it did come, would be a long one, attended by much disaster, Now that peace is assured there is re { Joicing on every hand, although as yul there have been uo demonstrations oth er than individual expressions To the miners themselves the news | Is" very satisfactory. They were will | ing to strike If John Mitchell thought they ought to, but they are glad that be decided otherwise On the advice of President Mitchell, representing the subscale committee, the winers' convention unanimously voled to adopt the first proposition of the operators, a coutinuation of the award of the anthracite coal strike commission, with the modification that the term for which It Is to continue shall be mutually agreed upon. The operators’ suggestion was that It should be at least three years. The ac tion of the convention, together with a request for a couference today, was telegraphed by Fresident Mitchell to Chairman George F. Baer of the op- erators’ committee, and an answer was received agreeing to a conference at the Jersey Central offices in New York city. The only matters to be discussed at the couference are the length of time the award shall continue and the pro vision that there shall be no discrim- ioation against the men who obayed the mine workers’ suspension order It is practically certain that the oper ators will not accede to any suggestion for a two year agreement, as that would throw tlhe next conference into a presidential year, aud us the miners will not want a loug term agreement, the chauces are that a three year sgreement will be eventually entered pon. An intimation bas reached bere from President Baer that the operators will not discriminate against the min. ers now on suspension, and the local representatives of tle coal companies say the same thing. It looks therefore as If a strike has been averted and that the miners will return to work probably ou Monday next Io his address to the convention In presenting the report of the scale com- mission Mr. Mitchell sald: “l am in favor of raising the low pald men to the staudard of the high pald men.

If I were sure a strike would be successful, that you could win, that you would stand together, 1 would advise you to strike and stay away from the mines until we get bet: ter couditions. “But frem the Inforwation I have re- ceived from all parts of the region I am fearful that our people are uot In shape for a strike.” The subcommittee will return to this city from New York after the confer: ence this afternoon and report to the convention toworrow morning at a special session.
