SUMNER'S DEPARTMENT STORE and -j i 4 1 ANTHRACITE WORK IN THE CV. - Coal FaAine Will Soo' i- ed Miners in Voting to End Strike Do Not Pledge Them selves to Abide by the De cision of the Commission Roosevelt Calls Arbitrators to Meet at Washington Fri day at 10 a. m. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 21. As a re sult of the action of the. miners con vention today it is believed that sev enty per cent of the collieries will be in full operation Monday. The s men needed to put tthe mines in shape will return tomorrow. It is computed that the production of the mines next week will be over a million tons of mined coal and twenty million tons of washed coal. For the remaining days this week the production is expected to reach 425,000 tons. The coal famine will soon be over. The resolutions adopted by the con vention do not pledge the miners !to abide by the finding of the arbitration commission, and they contained no clause relative to the treatment or non-i unionists. Some legislation is recom mended to improve the condition of miners. Most of the delegates of the conven tion returned home thie afternoon;. President Mitchell said this evening he was well pleased with the action of the miners. He added: "The strike itself has demonstrated the power and dignity of labor. Conservative, intel ligent trade unionism has received an impetus, the effect of which cannot be measured. I earnestly hope and firmly believe 'both labor and capital have learned from the miners' strike lessons which will enable them to adopt peaceful, humane, business meth ods of adjusting wage differences in the future." Mitchell's order issued to the miners this evening notifies them of the ac tion of the convention and cautions them to uee care to avoid accidents and the danger which is intensified be cause of the long idleness of the min ers. Washington, Oct. 21. The president this .afternoon. after receiving- notice from Mitchell of the action of the con vention summoned the arbitration com mission to meet in Washington next Friday at 10 a. xn. and so notified Mitchell. The commission will call on the president, to receive instructions. After preliminary meetings in Washing ton the commission will go to Pennsyl vania and examine the condition of the ccal fields, and may subsequently sit in New York for the purpose of taking testimony.

C, WEDNESDAY MINERS RESUME MIN prospect that President Roosevelt's proposition to armitrate would be ac cepted by a good majority, the conveiL tion of United Mine Workers resumed work today in the Nesbitt theater. A good deal is said among the assem bled delegates about the date of re turning to work. Thursday seems to be the day most talked of for the resump tion, though there are delegates who want to start in tomorrow morning.. This, however, is deemed impracticable because it would cause considerable confusion. An official of the mine workers said: "After a big majirity for ending the strike has , been recorded the vote will be made unanimous, though only a ma jority vote is needed." The committee on resolutions held a final meeting before the convention as sembled at which the resolutions to be presented to the convention were agreed UDon. The delegates were prompt in getting down to work. As soon as President Mitchell arrived in the hall at 10:05 a. m., he called the delegates to order. The committee on resolutions submit ted the following with their recommen dation: "To the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. Washington, D. C: "Dear Sir: We, the representatives Gf ,tne employes of the various coal companies engaged in operating mines in the anthracite coal fields of Penn sylvania, in convention assembled, hav ing under consideration, your telegram of October 15, 1902. addressed to John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, which reads as follows: "Have appointed as commis sioners Brigadier General John H. Wil son, R. H. Parker, Judge George Gray, E. E. Clark, Thomas H. Watkins, Bishop J. L. i&palding, with Carroll D. Wright, as recorder. These names are accepted by the operators and now I earnestly ask and urge the miners to likewise accept this commission. It is a matter of vital concern to all people and especially to these in our great cit ies who are least well off, that the min ing of coal be resumed without a mo ment's unnecessary delay." We have decided to accept the proposition there in embodied, and to submit all ques tions at issue between the operators and the mine workers of the anthra cite coal region and their adjustment to the commission which you have named. "In pursuance to that decision we shall report for work on Thursday morning, ctober 23.. in the positions and working places occupiediby us prior to the inauguration of the strike. "We have authorized John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, with such assistance as he may select, to represent us in all hear ings before the commission. "Signed: John Mitchell, chairman f convention: W. B. Wilson, secretary of convention." By the unanimous viva voce vote of the convention the United Mine Work ers of America accepted President Roosevelt's arbition plan shortly be fore noon.

ES TODAY anouncement of the result. The resolution as adoptd carried with it the declaration of the strike be ing off and provides for the immediate resumption of work in the coal mines throughout the anthracite region. President Mitchell told the conven tion that President Roosevelt had in formed him that he would call a meet ing of the arbitration commission after the miners' acceptance of the proposal, and Mr. Mitchell gave it as his opinion that the findings of the arbitrators would be announced within a month. President Mitchell, after the conven tion had given itself over to a heated debate for an hour and a half, arose and calmly told the delegates that it inust be apparent to all of them that there is no doubt whatever that the president's proposal would be adopted. There had been a renewal of the seri cnis opposition of the steam men and heated words had passed between the delegates. Explanations of the presi dent's proposal had been made in four languages. There seemed to be more opposition than ever to the settlement, when suddenly there appeared a break in the clouds, when the motion was put by a delegate down in front, near the strike leader called for the vote on the all important question and instantly there was a roar of ayes. One delegate strenuously objected to the adoption of the resolutions because no provision was made in them for the rrien who fail to get work. The other side of the question was taken up by a delegate from Panther Creek valley.' There were cries for the previous question, but President Mitchell stop ped this by announcing that every man wduld be given a chamce to speak and he' would not entertain the motion to vote so long as there was one delegate in the hall who wanted to be heard. The delegates in brief speeches took up both sides of the question with great earnestness. Those opposed to the proposition wanted specific assurances that they would be taken care of. During the debate three speeches were made in foreign languages, Sla vonic, Polish and Litrurian. The three foreign speaking delegates favored the acceptance of the proposition. The Italian delegates also wanted the proposition explained to them, which was done by an Italian speaker. When he had completed his explanation the motion was immediately made to close the debate. Before the motion was put Mr. Mitchell, in answer to a question, announced that he had a telegram from the president, stating that he would call a meeting of the commission as soon as the convention took favorable action. President Mitchell gave it as his opinion that the commission would make its report within one month. Then he put the question on adoption of the report after a motion to close the de bate had been adopted and asked in a short speech that the vote be unani mous. There was one loud roar of ap proval and the strike was officially off. The delegates arose and cheered for tuny a minute. President .Mitchell came in for his share of applause when order was restored. 1 he next instant messages wore flying in all directions from the con vention to give the news to the world through the newspapers. The following program wis arranged: The meeting will be called to order by the president of the Park associa tion. R. P. Hayes. Election of chairman and secretary. Report by Dr. C. P.

BOUND TO COURT FOR STEALING PAIR OF SHOES A few days ago a negro entered the shoe store of J.

Monday the owco ncie uiuugnt in, as the owner supposed they would be. They were in the possession of Isom Mayfield, a very well dressed and well appearing col ored man, who has for some time borne a good reputation. Mr. Spangenburg diplomatically ob served that he would have to go to the postoffice for a moment, and leaving Mayfield with a salesman, he started out to look for the owner of the shoes. The owner could not be found, but on his return Mr. Spangenberg wanted to know who had sold him the shoes. Mayfield shifted about uneasily for a moment, and replied that he did not know. Mayfield was given a hearing before Justice James and as he still "did not know," was bound owr to court. BINGHAM VS.
