STRIKE ENDS
IMPRESSIVELY
Unanimous Vote Cast for
Resumption of Work.
United Mine Workers Ac
cept the Arbitration Offer
Without One Dissenting
Voice From the Delegates.
With a shout that fairly shook the
Nesbltt theatre the 602 representatives
of the 147,000 mine workers who have
been on strike 102 days, since last May,
oflicially declared off at noon yesterday
the greatest contest ever waged be
tween capital and labor, and placed all
the questions involved in the struggle
Into the hands of the arbitration com
mission appointed by the president of
the United States.
The action foreshadowed by the con
vention on Monday came, when, at
noon, the opposition to it being over
whelmed the convention voted with one
voice to end the strike, accept the arbi
tration proposition and return to work.
All during the course of the conven
tion President Mitchell held the dele
gates in hand At Almost any time he
could have forced the passage of the
resolution he desired, but his plau was
to let the dissatisfied talk themselves out
and then, with a full knowledge of the
situation, vote on the proposition.
Ho know tho right moment and seized
it, wheu there being little life left in
the opposition, he stood before the con
vention and with a voice full of power
and rich with confidence, said:
"Now gentlemen, tho chair is going to
ask to he permitted to speak without
being in order. It Is quite apparent to
every one here what tho action of the
convention Is going to be. Ido not
think any one here has any doubt now
as to the way this convention will vote.
If it wore otherwise possibly It might
not bo quite in place for me to speak to
you just before you vote. But I want
to remind you of this:
"That when tho arbitration proposi
tion was accepted labor all over tho
land breathed a sigh of relief. That
this strike has given labor new dignity
no one can deny. Labor occupies a
position now that it never occupied be
fore. Tho fruits of your victory may
not be as apparent to you as they
are to those who have studied the labor
question more thoroughly than you, and
I don't want to have our achievement,
your achievement, dampeued by even
one dissenting vote. I trust this con
vention will vote as our people struck;
I hope you will all vote one way as you
all struck one way."
There was no hesitation In tho action
of the delegates. Mr. Mitchell put the
question and every man was on his feet
with a ready "aye." They waited for a
note of dissent; none came, and then
with one impulse voices and arms aroso
and tho hall rang with cheers. Again
and again tho delegates cheered for
Mitchell, for the union, for their friends,
for the victory, for President Roosevelt.
Resolutions thanking the trades
unions and tho public for the aid re
ceived and the press and pulpit for Its
support wore then passed.
Following these were recommenda
tions for legislative action. They were:
"That legislation be enacted prohibit
ing miners under the age of 31 from
working at any employment about the
mines more than eight hours dally;
"That the coal and Iron police act be
repealed and that instead of being ap
pointed by the governor these police be
appointed by tho county courts, provid
ing also that they have been residents of
the county for a year and that they are
men of good character;
"Providing for means to Investigate
alleged violations of the minors'examin
ers law;
"That an employers' liability bill be
passed;
"That steps be taken to oppose the
attack about to be made upon the con
stitutionality of the act providing for
the election of the mine Inspectors."
This concluded the convention and it
adjourned singing "My Country, 'Tis of
Thee."
Formal notice of the result was at
once sent to the presldentat Washington,
and he promptly called a meeting of the
strike commission named by him to
convene on Friday.
LOCAL SITUATION TODAY.
Employes of Markle & Co. who report
ed for work today were prevented by the
coal and Iron police from going near the
collieries. This action was explained
by a notice posted today by the iirm,
which reads as follows: "All men
desiring to work for us are hereby noti
fied to make application at our office at
Jeddo, Pa., and to bring with them the
brass checks we have heretofore Issued."
Mr. Markle states that each of bis
former employes who desires to resume
must sign an agreement to abide by the
resultof the arbitration commission. In
the agreement the firm signifies its in
tention to do so. Markle & Co. will em
ploy no person who will not agree to do
likewise.
At Drifton a pumpman and an engin
eer, both residents of the town, were
notified when they appeared for work
today that there will be no further em
ployment for them under Coxe Bros. &
Co.
At Upper Lehigh all the steam men
were reinstated today with one excep
tion.
At Sandy Run it is announced that
inside operations will not be resumed
before next spring, as the mines are
heavily flooded.
TONIGHT'S PARADE.
United Mine Workers Will Celebrate
the End of the Strike.
The end of the strike will be cele
brated by the United Mine Workers of
Freeland and surrounding towns with a
parade here this evoning.
Though the time for preparation has
been short, the demonstration has been
in the hands of an energetic cominitteo
and a great outpouring of union mine
workers is assurod.
One of the features of the parade will
consist of banners and transparencies
which the strike victors will carry.
Below will be found the order and
route of parade:

Troops on South Side.
Eight companies, comprising the sec
ond and third battalions of the Third
regiment, were transferred from the
Schuylkill region to the Sonth Side yes
terday. The headquarters of the regi
ment have been established at Auden
ried. The force-is under the command
of Colonel Price. The companies have
been stationed at McAdoo, Audeuried,
Silver Brook and Coleraine.
Matters have been exceedingly quiot
on the South Side since the beginning of
the strike, and the sending of troops to
the section has no particular slgnifl
cance.
Must Give Up Wadsworth.
Judge Marr, of Schuylkill county, has
granted the writ of haboas corpus asked
for by District Attorney McLaughlin to
procure the custody of Private Arthur
Wadsworth, of Company A, Eighteenth
regiment, a sentry, who shot and killed
a striker named William Durham at
Brownsville.
General Wiley, of the Second brigade,
has been notified of the court's decision,
and if there Is any further Interference
with the constables who have the war
rant for Wadsworth's arrest a bench
warrant will be issued for General
Wiley's arrest for contempt of court.
BALLOT.
The Caadldaten for Office Are Soattered
Throughout Eleven Colliding.
A certified copy of the ballot that will
be used in this county at the November
election has been received at the county
commissioners' office from Secretary of
the Commonwealth Grlest. Blanket bal
lot Is certainly no misnomer for it this
year and the average voter will have to
have his wits about him if he desires to
vote out of the dominant parly columns.
It contains eleven columns, but in some
of these there is no candidate in this
district.
The various party columns aro as fol
lows: Republican, Democratic, Prohi
bition, Socialist, Socialist Labor, Citi
zens, Anti-Machine, Ballot Reform, Citi
zens' Labor, and Workingmen's. In
addition there Is the customary blank
column In which voters who cannot find
suitable candidates In the other ten
columns may write the names of citi
zens of their choice.
In the Ballot Reform column, at the
top of which the names of the Demo
cratic state candidates appear, there
are no county or Fourth district candi
dates.
The column headed Citizens' Labor
will be blank in this district. Thomas
M. Moyles, of Laurel Run, who was
denied a place on the Democratic ticket
for representative in the Sixth district
by the Dauphin county court, has the
column all to himself. His name will
not appear outside of the Sixth district.
The Anti-Machine party has no can
didate aspiring for office in this district.
The Workingmen's party has only
two candidates on the ballot to be used
here. They are Colonel T. R. Martin
for congress and Bernard J. Ferry for
representative.
The name of Congressman Henry W.
Palmer appears in two columns —Re-
publican and Prohibition. The names
of the Republican state candidates ap
pear In two columns—Republican and
Citizens. The names of the Democratic
state candidates appear in three columns
—Democratic, Ballot Reform and Antl-
Machiue.
The Union party column having been
knocked out -by the decision of the
Dauphin county court, there will be no
candidates under that name in this
county.
Official notice has been given to the
county commissioners that ballots must
not bo numbered this year or hereafter.
He Is Not a Socialist.
Grand Chief E. E. Clark, of the Order
of Railway Conductors, who was in
Scranton on Sunday, was interviewed
in that city by a reporter. Mr. Clark is
a member of the arbitration commission
appointed by President Roosovelt. He
was asked: "What do you think the
commission will do?"
"That is a very leading question,"
said Mr. Clark. "I have my ideas, but
could not express them under the cir
cumstances. No doubt the others also
have outlined policies of their own, all
of which will probably be altered before
the report is submitted."
"What do you think of the president's
Interpretation of a sociologist? Do you
think you meet the requirements in that
particular?" asked the reportor.
"My interpretation of a sociologist,"
ho replied, "is identical, though I am
modest in assuming that I am versed in
sociology or political economy, as the
word really means. Some people got
the impression that I am a Socialist.
They could not bo more mistaken. As I
understand the term, the president had
in mind a man who had practical experi
ence in sociological matters. A sociolo
gist is one versed in political economy
and a student of social conditions. A
Socialist is radically different. The
latter is a follower of a socialistic prin
ciple and is usually a very radical per
son. The two words are directly con
trasted in meaning. While I deem it
an honor to be styled a sociologist by
Mr. Roosevelt, I would consider it any
thing else were I named a Socialist."
A number of Wilkesbarre officers from
a detective agency in the Wost, which
has been importing men to work at
various collieries, wore arrested chargod
with neglecting to pay ten sub-detec
tlvea. The latter claim they were
brought here to do strike duty and that
they are owed sums running as high as
3300.
James F. Mullahy, who was nominat
ed for representative by the Working
men's Alliance in the Third legislative
district, withdrew from the race yester
day.

Worth of His New Spe
cial Treatment Free
to Each of Our
Readers.
When an experienced physician offers
to give away SIO,OOO worth of a New
Treatment for disease of the heart,
nerves, stomach or dropsy, it is conclu
sive evidence that he lias great faith in
it. And when hundreds of prominent
people freely testify to his unusual skill
and the superiority of his Now Special
Treatment, his liberality is certaiuiy
worthy of serious consideration
That Dr. Miles is one of the world's
most successful physicians is proven by
hundreds of testimonials from well
known people. One patient cured after
failure of eleven Grand Rapids physi
cians, two after being given up by six
and seven Chicago physicians, another
after nine leading doctors in New York
City, Philadelphia and Chicago failed.
1000 testimonials sent upon request.
Th> eminent Rev. \V. Bell, D. I)., of Dayton,
().. Geu. Soc'y of Foreign Missions, writes
editorially in The State Sunday School Union:
"Wo desire to state that from personal ac
quaintance we know I)r. Miles to be u most
skillful specialist, a man who has spared nei
ther labor nor money to keep himself abreast
of the groat advancement in medical science."
Col. Tucker, late General .Manager N. Y., L.
E. & \V. It. It. says: "Dr. Miles' success as a
physician has been phenominal " "My heart,"
writes l>. M. Davis, of Warren, Pa., "was so
bad I was fearful of going to sleep lest it
would be my last. Dr. Miles saved my life. I
was completely cured in six weeks." Mrs.
Abigail Chambers, of Chambersburg, Pa.,
states: "My trouble was in the brain and
spinal cord. When I commenced Dr. Miles*
treatment I could hardly walk across tho
room; now I am able to do all my own work."
Mrs. W. A. Warren, of Jamestown, N. Y., re
ports: "For years I Imd severe trouble with
my stomach, neuralgia, sinking spells and
dropsy. Dr. Miles cured me."
This new system of Special Treatment
is thoroughly scientific and immensely
superior to the ordinary methods.
As all alllicted readers may have
$4.00 worth of treatment free, we would
