REPRESENTAVIVr's op MINERS OFFI CIALLY 1ECLAH. ir OFF. 'he Vote Was ULantWon'-Un-'n Wl rakis Care of Tnom trngi:.eri a.;d Others Who UanTnot Uet Work. Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Wi.h a shout that fairly ehook the convention builditig, the represent tives of the 147,000 mine workers who have been on strike since last May, offi cially declared off at noon on Tues day the greatest contest over waged between capital and labor and placed ill 'the questions involved in the strqggle into the hands of the arbi tration commission appointed by the President of the United States. When the news was flat-hed to the towns and villages dowu in thbe val leys and on the mouwains of tie coal regions, the strike affected in habitants heaved a sigh of relief. Many days have gone by since more welcome news was received. Every where there was rejoicing and in many places the end of the strike was the signal for impromptu town celebrations. The vote to resume coal mining was a unanimous one and was reached ly after a warm debate. The prin ipal objection to accepting the arbi tration proposition wai that no proposition was contained in the scheme to take care of those men who would fail to get back their old positions or would be unable to get any work at all. The engineers and pumpmen get better pay than other classes of mine workers, and they did not care to run the risk of losing altogether their old places and be compelled to dig coal for a living. This question came up yesterda) and was argued right up to the time the vote was taken. No one had a defi. h---bite plan to offer to overcome the objection and the report of the com mittee on resolutions, recommending that the strike be declared off and that all issues be placed in the hands of the arbitration commission for de-. cision, was adopted without the qgoes -tion being settled. A few moments before adjournment, however, a par tial solution was reache'd when a delegate in the farthest corner of the hall moved that the problear be placed in the hands of.tbe three executive boards for solution and his suggestion was adopted. The question of taking care of all men who will fail to get work imme diately, will be a serious one for the union. There is no doubt the execu tive boards will take care of the en gineers, firemen and pumpmen, but there are thousands of othec classes of mine workers who will have to be looked after. In some places hun dreds will not be able to g.et to work for weeks, and in other localities where the mines are in very bad *condition, there will be no employ ment for many workmen for some months. Hundreds .of men, needed 'to re pair the mines and otherwis'e place them in condition for operation, went to work Wednesday ni'crning, the convention having decided tbat this was imperative in order to get the men at work quickly and satisfy the country's demand for coal. All the locals will hold meetings~ at which insti-nctions will be given the members regarding their appli cation for work President Mitchell received many congratulatory telegrams from all over the country after the news spread that the strike was ended. The question of ending the strike came up in the convenition in the form of a report from the committee on resolutions as foilows: "We, the committee on reMolutioniS, beg leave to recomm-end that the following commu1niestionr be adopted and forwarded to Theodore Roose velt, President of the United States of America: Ot 1 Hon. Theodore Rosevelt, Washing ton. Dear Sir:-We, the represen.ta tives of employes of the various coal companies engaged( 1 operatinlg Pennsylvania, in convention assem bled, having under coniderat ion your telegram of October 1, 1902, addressed to John Mitchell, presi dent of th United Mine Workers of America, whicb reads as follows: "I have appointed as commis sioners, Brig. Gen. John H. Wilson, E. W. Parker, Judge George* Gray, E. E. Clark, Thomas H. Watkins, Bishop J. L. Spalding, with Carroll D. Wright as recorder. These names are accepted by the operators and I now earoestly ask and urge that the miners likewise accept this commis sion. It is a matter of vital concern to all our people, and especially to those in our great cities, who are least well off, that the mining of coal should be resumed without a mo ment's unnecessary delay." We have decided to accept the proposition therein embodied and submit all questio.-s at issue between the operators and mine workers of the %uthracite coal region for adjust. ment to the commission whicb you have named. In pursnnce of that decision we shall report for work 'on Thursday morning, October 23, in the positions aud working places occupied by us prior to the inauguration of the trike. We have asked John Mitchell, iresident of the Uuited Mine Work rs of America, with such assistants s be may select, to represent us in Rdl hearings before the commission. John Mitchell, Chairman of Convention. W. B. Wilson, Secretary of Convention. President Mitchell put the qes iou on the adoption of the report Efter a motion to close debate had >een adopted and asked in a short 5peech that the vote be unanimous. rhere was one loud roar of approval nd the great strike was officially off.
