MINERS AT WORK
Antbracite Workers UoaDimoosIj
Declare the Great
Coal Strike Off.
VOTE. FOR ARBITRATION
When Notified, President Roosevelt
Summons the Commission to
Meet and Begin Its
In uae+i <ra+i An.
IIIVWII^IAWWIM
Wilkesbarre, Pa. ? With a jubilant
bout the representatives of the 147,000
mine workers, who hare been on strike
since last May.offlcialij declared off one
of the greatest contests erer waged be
tween capital and labor, plactd all the
questions involved in the struggle into
the hands of the Arbitration Commission
appointed by the President of the
United States, and decided to resume
work Thursday. #
Mr. Mitchell, head of the Miners'
Union, immediately sent a message to
President Roosevelt, notifying him of
the strikers' action. In reply he received
a message from the President
announcing that the commission appointed
to investigate the grievances
of the miners had been summoned to
meet Friday to begin Its work.
When the news that the great strike
was ended reached the towns and villages
down in the valleys and on the
mountains of the coal regions there
was widespread rejoicing. In many
places It was the signal for impromptu
town celebrations.
The vote to resume mining was a
unanimous one. but It was reached
CLO
-A Timely i
only after a warm debate. The principal
objection to accepting the arbitration
proposition was that no provision
was contained In the scheme to take
care of those men who would fall to
get back their old positions or would
be nnable to get any work at all. No
one had a definite plan to offer to overcome
the objection, and the report of
the Committee on Resolutions recommending
that the strike be declared off
was adopted without the question
being settled. A few moments before
adjournment, however, a partial solution
was reached when a delegate In
' the furthest corner of the ball moved
that the problem be placed In the
hands of three executive boards for
solution, ana an uggvauuu ??u?
adopted.
When the convention bad declared
the strike ended the following resolutions
of thanks to the trades unions,
the press and the pulpit were unanimously
adopted:
"Resolved, That we. the duly elected
representatives of the men and boys
employed in and around the anthracite
mine*, do now, in convention, renew
our fealty to the United Mine Workers
of America, of whose membership we
are nearly one-half;
"Resolved. That we extend our sincere
thanks to our brothers in the softcoal
fields for their more than generous
assistance:
"Resolved. That we express our feeling
of gratitude to the wage-earners of
the world for the material assistance
tfiey nave renuerwi US in wvui tun u
victory for ourselves and for organ I red
labor:
"Reaolved. That we herein give expression
to our sense of deep appreciation
of the Interest and support of the
general public;
"Resolved. That we acknowledge our
debt of gratitude to that portion of the
pulpit and the press of onr country that
has been of such Immense moral support
to our contention;
"Resolved, That to the representatives
of national. 8tate and municipal
governments who have used their good
offices to secure a settlement of our
dispute we express our full appreciation
and extend our thanks."

congratulatory telegrams from all over

On the other hand, one cngineniaa

on duty only seven hour*, so that on
the face of the report there could be
no fault found with the working hours;

MOB IMPATIENT WITH JUDGE.

Xcgrooa and Did It Klght Way.
Dallas. Texas.?The mob at Hempstead
lost patience with the Judge who
conducted the legal formalities of the
trials of Jim Wesley and Reddlck
Barron, the negroes who confessed to
the murder of Mrs. Lewis, and invaded
the county jail by hundreds. The men
overpowered the officer*, took the two
negroes out and lynched them by hangJng.
The Intention to burn Wesley and
Barton alive was abandoned and a
"simple execution" by rope and a telegraph
pole followed. The two negroes
had waived all legal rlgh's In the cases
against them and had expressed a willingness
to be hanged by the law officers
at once. The trial Judge thought that
the'convicted men should have the benefit
of the thirty days provided in the
Constitution.
Th#> Wheat Market Situation.
There has been only a fractional net
change in wheat prices during the
week. The interior movement has been
cn a liberal scale, but much of the
wheat going to commercial centres is
of Inferior quality, and in the Northwest
a strong demand from millers has
diverted a large percentage of the supply
from snipping channels. The mills
nre busy and large wales of flour have
been made ror export as wen as tor
| domestic consumption.

St. Paul. Minn ?"Jim" Younger, the
ontlaw. who in July 10. 1901, wn releaaet]
on parole from the State prison
with his brother Cole, after aerring
twenty-five y?ars of a life dfcntence,
killed himself :>y shooting here. From
notes he left it is apparont that hi*
mind was unbalanced.
A quarrel with his brother, Cole, and
an infatuation for a young woman be*
i yond h!s station resulted in a conflict
between Younger and the friends who
had been most instrumental in his liboration
from the penitentiary and hif
final banishment from the home of the
friend that had consistently worked
for his freedom.
Besides this, it is said that Jamei
Younger, who was naturally haughty,
disliked the notoriety that attached to
him. He felt that be was despised and
the object of observation everywhere.
He became morose aud often told
people that he "had no friends." He
was a constant sufferer from a bullet
wound In his face, for which be bad
bad frequent consultations with hia
physicians since bis parole. It is.
thought that this affected his mind.
His knowledge of secrets of the State
penitentiary of Minnesota and b!a
threat to have them published are cited
as another cause for the mental breakdown.
It la said that he was greatly
harrassed by politicians, who feared
that the statement* he might make
would disturb existing conditions. A
large maniln envelope found on bla
bureau contained a package of letters
that had passed between Younger and
a woman with whom he la aald to have
been much In love. The womap, who
Is prominently connected. Is said to
have reciprocated his affection, and
though be was fifty-four years old and
much broken down. It was reported at
one time they were to be married. Her
relatives raised strenuous objections to
the marriage, and a further obstacle
was the fact that a paroled prisoner
could not legally contract a marriage.
