TO STRIKE
T. V. 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

"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.
The derrick and other machinery used
by Contractor Blanchard at the Free
land Brewing Company's well was re
