Powderly Addresses Anthracite Miners. Ex-Master Workman of the Knights of Labor Says There Is No Necessity for Hasty Action. _ In the Lackawanna region there is not so much desire for a strike today as there has been in the past week. This is owing to the speech of Hon. T. V. Powderly, commissioner of immigration, and ex-master workman of the Knights of Labor, to a large gathering of minors. He opposed a strike. Among other things he said: "Workingmon, listen to reason! There is no necessity for haste. You have not organized in haste. I recall the strikes of 1869, 1870 and 1877. Each one followed close on the heels of or ganization. Do not expect from a labor organization what you cannot gain through others. It is a business con cern, a corporation, and surely you should not expect a dividend in tho shape of increased wages, reduced powder or anything else until you had taken time and allow the principles of your organization to be understood by the entire community. "Another tiling you should remember. The man who lirst advocates the strike and who talks strike in preference to arbitration or any other remedy, is not the last man out when tho strike is de clared oIT. In 1877 there were men who opposed the strike until the last mo ment, and once out they remained out. Some of them were victimized and walked tho streets for months and years after tho strike ended. "Take your merchants, your priests, your ministers and neighbors into your confidence, counsel with them, enlist their sympathy in your cause, have them act as mediators between you and your employers, and, in God's name, do not strike until you are forced to or until there is no other remedy left. "Now, a word to tho employer: Do not refuse to meet your workmen. Do not hold off from them. You accept their co-operation and labor in your great work of production. Why should you not listen to their demands or grievances? I never knew a time when laborer and employer could not settle their differences if they reasoned with each other. Surely, the great business and commercial interests of the valley below are deserving of tho calmest de liberation, the most careful thought, the most careful handling. Get together, talk it over. Don't act hastily, and, my word for it, a settlement will be reached alike honorable to both sides, and better results will follow than if a strike is entered upon." "MOTHER" MAKY JONKS. One of tho most unique figures in tho present agitation is "Mother" Mary Jones, of Chicago. She has not only every member of the United Mine Work ers' Union ready to strike, but her eloquent presentation of the wrongs suffered at the hands of the operator has made many new members, while an equal number are ready to follow the union men out without formally joining the organization. Mrs. Jones has been working among the soft coal miners of the Maryland and Central Pennsylvania districts since helping those in Tioga county to win their strike last winter. I'iHv-six years of age, she is bright MISCELLANEOUS ADVEKTLSEM ENTB. / CHARTER NOTICE.-In the Court of Com, V > moil Pleas of Luzerne County, No. 6U2- Uotobor Term, lIJUO.

Her white hair commands respect, while her cheery face and manner hearten up the uioSt morose assemblage. "The condition of the miner," she 1 says, "is most deplorable. He is tho butt of a system of robbery. Of course, there are some good operators —men who would corroct the grievances if they dared, but who are governed by others. In New Zealand tho operators urge the mon to organize, but in this country they shoot them down or got out an in junction and throw them into jail. "In this crisis if the operators don't make concessions 1 believe that a strike is inevitable. The law says 2,240 pounds .make a ton. The operator expects 3,300 from tho miner. The miners are publicly robbed. "Tho company doctor Is an imposition and ought to be driven out. The com pany store should not be tolerated. I don't believe the men want to strike, but if it is their only alternative, I say strike. "I do not approve of strikos, but at times they are necessary and if the operators do not grant the just and equitablo demands of tho men there is but one thing for them to do—strike, and continue to strike until they gain fair treatment." NO WORD FROM OPERATORS. It was expected by many of tho United Mine Workers that tho opera tors, following Labor Day, would make some proposition for a settlement, but not a word came from any of them. From tho small individual operator to the big companies, all are silent on tho great question confronting the people of the anthracite region. Superintendent of Mining Rose, of tho Delaware and Hudson Company, has denied emphatically that the company had ordered a reduction in tho price of mining powder, and says that the com pany entertains no such intention. Work at the Brewery.
