President of Mine Workers Accorded an Unparalleled Reception by the Citizens of the Convention City. President .Tohn Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, was accorded a magnificent reception by the citizens of Indianapolis when he arrived there yesterday to preside over the national convention of union miners, which bo pan Its seslons today. Thousands as sembled at the Union station, where they vied with each other In cheers of welcome as he left his train and walked through the station. When he started to.his carriage, which was waiting in front of the station, another large crowd surrounded him and would have carried him to the door had he not modestly waved the people aside. Cheer after cheer rent the air as the carriage moved slowly along the street, and when he reached the Grand hotel another demonstration was given In his honor. No such scene was evpr wit nessed In the city at the coming of a labor leader, and Mr. Mitchell was him self evidently surprised at the enthusi asm which his presence evoked, for he blushed like a girl as ho acknowledged by bowing and by waving his hands the generous compliment paid him. Mr. Mitchell's train was scheduled to arrive at 3 30 o'clock, and & delegation of citizens, headed by Mayor Book waiter and the business men of the city, wont to Greenfield and met the Incom ing Pennsylvania train and acted as escort to the minors' president Into the city. After boarding the train Mayor Bookwalter made a short speech, In which he referred to the people of the city as being highly appreciative of Mr. Mitchell's efforts In behalf of humanity, and wished him success In his future undertakings. Mr. Mitchell replied very modestly to the address, saying, In substance, that he had tried to do his duty, and was glad to receive another evidence that the people are taking such a deep Inter est In the cause In which ho Is engaged. lie said ho wa9 but one among many thousands who have been making a fight for freedom and for better con ditions, and he must construe the gen erous sentiment expressed by the com mittees as relating more to the cause In which he is engaged than to any per sonal turrit In himself. After reaching the hotel an Impromp tu reception was held for an hour, when many took advantage of the occasion to congratulate Mitchell on the wonderful contest through which he bad gone In the anthracite region. A formal reception will be given the miners' leader at Tomlltisou hall tonight by the citizens, at which a number of speeches will be made and wblch will be attended by the delegates to the nation al convention.
