MUST HAVE AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY It Is the Paramount Issue, Says Mr. Mitchell. Miners Honor Their Presi dent by Parading in All Sections of the Anthracite Coal Region. Throughout the anthracite region yesterday the United Mine Workers celebrated Mitchell Day, the first anni very of the end of the anthracite strike. Every colliery was shut down and the union men paraded, held mass meetings and in the evening gathered at balls. Wilkesbarro was the central point of the celebration, owing to the fact that President John Mitchell was the guest of honor. There were about 15,000 men in the lino of march aitd fully 20,000 at the meeting in West Side park which followed, and where Mitchell made an address. Each man wore his union card, checked up to show that he was in good standing, and unless a man had a card so marked ho was not allowed in the line of parade. At the park Mitchell in his speech said that his remarks were not only to those present, but to ail the union mine workers in the anthracite Held. He said: "Today the miners' union is the strongest organization in the world. It stands out conspicuously as having done more for its members than any other organization. I have made an unceas ing elTort to establish relationship be tween mine owners and miners so that strikes would be impossible. If these ellorts fail the responsibility falls not on your shoulders, but upon the other fellows. I have hopes, however, that the justness of our cause will at last bring the much-desired meeting. "There is a certain class of reformers exerting every possible efTort to abolish strikes. They want a law enacted to make compulsory arbitration. The workingmen will never submit to this. The judiciary I do not charge with be ing corrupt, but I know they are not at present friendly to your interest. I am only In favor of one kind of arbitra tion and that is voluntary. "May 5 next the Chinese exclusion act will expire. Then the Mongolians will rush into this country and take your places in the mines. I want you men to pass resolutions at your locals and appeal in every possible way to congress to again enact that law. "When the hours of labor are made less the earnings of men are made more. So you should put forth your best efTort to get the eight-hour day. You should make it your paramount issue, and if you have to strike next spring to get it or a recognition of the union, so bo it. I favor peace, but it must be an honor able one or none at all." Hazleton. —Organized labor demon strated its numerical strength in the Le high region by turning out almost to a man and participating in the Mitchell Day celebration, which in this city con sisted of a parade of 15,000 miners, and speeches by "Mother" Jones, District President DufTy, and several local organ izers. It was the largest demonstration ever witnessed In this region. Trolley and steam lines entering the city were taxed and hundreds who came to witness the parade were compelled to walk, while as many more remained away, being unable to get here. In the line of parade were hundreds of breaker boys, who cheered continual ly, and gra) haired men, who walked in the first labor parade here on May 10, 1809, showed loyalty to the union cause by plodding in line from start to finish. Other trades displayed their feeling for the miners by joining in the celebra tion. District President DufTy was grand marshal. Drum corps and bands of music composed of miners furnished the Fully 20,000 persons assembled on the old base-ball grounds lu the southern part of the city to listen to the speak ers. "Mother" Jones was applauded by deafening roars from thousands of throats as she paid repeated compli ments to President Mitchell. Scran ton.—Over 10,000 miners parad ed here in honor of the president o their union, John Mitchell. There were forty-two local unions and an equa number of musical organizations in line The striking street car men were givei the right of line. The parade was fol lowed by a mass meeting. President Judge 11. M. Edwards was chairman and speeches were made by G. W. Pur cell, of Torre Haute; 11. L. Ileovcs, of Pittsburg; A. A. Vosburg, Bov. F. S. Ballentinc and William Fitzpatrick. Pottsville.—Tlireo thousand miners representing the Mine Workers of Pottsville and the suburban towns paraded here. After the parade there was a mass meeting at the courthouse, which was addressed by Samuel (lum pers, of Washington, D. C., president of the Federation of Labor; President John Fahy, of District No. 9; T. J. Richards, of the executive board of the same dis trict, aud Martin Powasis, also of the board. meetings wore also held by the miners in Mt.

THEATRICAL It is a somewhat startling sensation to witness a Western play that does not depend for interest on the continual drawing of bowie-knives nor the maudlin sentiment and horse-play comedy that goes with the average drama of the mining camp. "Tennes see's Pardnor" is a rational play deal ing with life in the Sand Hills of Nevada. Its quiet, quaint and charming story, freedom from exaggeration and the en tirely human manner in which the actors interpret their respective roles, stamps "Tennessee's Pardner" as one of the best comedy dramas recently pro duced. Florence Weston, a demure little woman with the softest of South ern accents, plays "Tennesse's Kent" and the sympathy of the audience goes to her from the moment she appears. Will W. Crimans as Swan, "the square keard dealer," gives the character the finish of a true artist. Fanny Curtis, a sterling actress who In former seasons was leading lady with some of the most prominent stars, has been retained for the fourth successive season in her original role of "Nettie Bice," the min er's bride. The smaller characters are in very capable hands and the quartette will bo heard In new and popular vocal selections. The play appears here to night and will bo staged with new and magnificent scenic elTects. X X X Barlow & Wilson's Minstrels gave a good performance last evening before a small audience. The company is in creasing in ability every season and last night's entertainment was equal to that given by any minstrels who have been hero in many years. Bariow S: Wilson have several first-class artists on their rolls and their show was worthy of better patronage. X X t Last evening's Hazleton Plain Speak er says: 14 'Tennessee's Pardner,' which incarnates the well known char acters of Bret Harte's great story, was presented at the Grand last night by a capable company of actors before an audience that was somewhat small, but all approval. The play is extremely pathetic at times, and worked the audi ence up to a high pitch of emotion. The scenery and effects of the company were very line." ROUND THE REGION. Seventeen of the men imported by the Seranton Railway Company to take the place of the strikers quit work Monday night and left for their homes in New York. They say they were badly treat ed and that twenty more are prepared to leave a soon as they get their pay. On account of the Mitchell Day parade, which brought thousands of miners to the city, no cars were run yesterday. Three prominent German engineers, P. A. Pauckow and Uustave Schullzo, of Berlin, and C. Ilocke, of Hamburg, arrived at Wilkesbarre this week.
