The company is devoting its efforts to preparations to rush coal to market when it is mined. I : ssBsssfgfita&sss discharge those who stood by them dur ing ithe strike. There were many in the Wyoming valley,, however, who were fortunate enough to find employment'. The company officials maintain they will not discriminate against union or non-union, men, and that work will be ! given all when there are vacancies. During the strike the companies ' were compelled to employ many incompetent jjy (jUiiIiJq 1 water or from "squeezing" as a result vi iiic idL. ui piuvci Liiiruci lllg . X 11C majority of these workmen are still in 'the employ of the companies, and the strikers feel they will gradually be dis missed and the more competent work men engaged. A mine Worker who came into the union headquarters from South Wilkes barre today said: "The superintendents are turning down a good many men on the ground that they are not needed. This is only a 'bluff,' and they will be glad to get our men in a day or two. The work men they have are in most cases, green and won't be tolerated about the collieries when the miners begin work ing full time to catch up with the de mand for coal. The companies will not 'take the risk of having men killed or mines wrecked through the mistakes of some new man." Although the strike is over, the path" of the non-union workman is still a thorny one. They are disliked by the unionists, and it is not expected the re lations between them will be improved when they get into the mines together. Reports were received here today that scores of the non-union men have given up "their positions and are leaving the region. (President Mitchell today began the work of Dreoarine the miners' side of the case for presentation to the arbi tration commission.

Pottsville, Pa., Oct. 22. The striking miners are ready and eager to return to work, now that the strike is de clared off, but several of 'the collieries in the Schuylkill region or not in con dition to resume full-handed and some workmen will be obliged to wait fot several weeks and perhaps months be fore they can be reinstated. This number, however, will be comparative ly small. It will require some days to clean up gangways at the mines that are fit to be operated before any quan tity of coal can be shipped. Many of the pump-runners, engineers and others have already returned to their posts and are working. Indian Ridge colliery atv Shenandoah resumed today.

John Markle of Jeddo, the independent coal operator, today made the following statement: "There seems to have been no ques tion as to our position regarding the arbitration commission. We will abide by the decision of that commission un der the conditions set forth by the pres idents of the large coal corporations." G. B.

All the delegates who attended the convention here todav left for their homes, and strike headquarters presented a de serted appearance tonight. Reports from the small towns in the outlying regions are to the effect that celebra tions of all kinds iwere held last night. Some of , the larger towns will celebrate the ending of the strike tomorrow. Tne greatest celebration will be reserved for October 29 John Mitchell day. President Mitchell has more than half a dozen invitations to speak at different places, but he will not accept anv until he learns whether the arbi tration commission needs his presence. A' few engineers, firemen, pumpmen, machinists and some other men not directly engaged in mining coal have already applied for reinstatement, but were refused. The superintendent in most cases informed the men they will return their present employes. Pokers and Reading, Pa., Oct. 22. Last night's! run of coal on the Philadelphia & Read ing railroad consisted of 100 cars, or about 3,000 tons, and on Monday night Cincinnati, O., Oct. 22. Archbishop Elder has issued a proclamation to the clergy and members of the Catholic church in which he said the ending of the coal strike is occasion for rejoicing The proclamation continues in part "We rejoice that He has seen fit to turn from His chosen ones, the poor and lowly, the impending disaster of long 'winter's misery. We rejoice that our chief ruler has found in his manly sense of right means of relieving the situation fraught with so much danser." It asks jrayer for the guidance of the arbitration commission, that its con clusions may contribute to peace and to the glory of God, and to this end directs that one decade rosary be re cited after each mass on Sunday for a month. ' .. CLEVELAND APPROVES OF CAMPAIGN'S CONDUCT HILL'S SPEECH ENTHUKTASTTP AT, UY APPLAUDED CLEVELAND ttK.-MTlONS "SENSIBLE EFFORTS StCUKE HARMONIOUS AC- TION." New York, Oct. 22. Tammany held a big rati-K-ation nonih. Hill was the principal speaker. A letter from l3vtiand was reil calling Tammany great organization. It was enthusi astically aoslaudel. ine Manhattan ciuo gave a reception to 'the state candidates. A letter of re giet. was read from Cleveland. Coler, in a lengiuv seecn, rev.ewea the is sues of the camnaifirn. Ex-Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo and others also spoke. those who entertain independent incli nations and do any thinking for them selves. He wanited, he said, to "turn badk. oh, time, in your flight," to the period of '68. Among other rHflra- tions, Captain Glenn asserted that the republicans had almost turned the state capitol into a house of ill fame and, assuming a melodramatic nose the speaker cried in passionate tones: "Oh, God, strike 'from my mind those memories." Captain, Glenn spoke of republican and populist rule as a time when the "black flag of death" was raised, and a moment later talked of the time when the "damnable black flag was lowered." He said the Filipinos were 'being mur dered, and spoke of the "robberies, cor ruption and shame", to be noted under the Dingley 'tariff. In fact, it was the first speech of the extravagant kind that has been de livered in Asheville thus far during this campaign. Captain Glenn apparently made a geographical error and was la boring in ignorance of the fact that such methods of campaigning- are no longer in vogue in the mountains. His every statement was ill-temDered. GOV, ODELL FLAYS 0. B. HILL ANSWERS CHARGE THAT HE US ED OFFICE TO FURTHER HIS OWN INTRESTS. Says Hill Descended Lower Than Any Man Ever Honored as Governor.

Hill in a speech at Tammany hall tonight chiefly discussed the tariff He declared the scattered constituencies were compelling the republicans to come- out for revision of the tariff! especially on coal and trust made ar tides. He auoted from the senate re cords to show that ihe republicans vot ed for the tariff on anthracite coal, with the exception of Piatt, who, he said, with "characteristic shrewdness" dodged the vote. He declared the only way to o'btain immediate relief from the extortionate price charged to con sumers of goal, from the exactions of the beef trust, steel and other trusts, was the removal of the tariff. His re marks were enthusiastically cheered. A letter was read from Grover Cleve land to Leader Murphy, regretting his inability to accept Murphy's invitation to' attend the meeting. The letter says in part: "It is most gratifying to learn from the terms of your note that the democrats of the city of New York fully appreciate how vitally the under lying principles of our party are in volved in the pending canvass, and also to know of the determination that they shall not be forgotten in its campaign efforts. "The great democratic organization of the city of New York is so important a factor in controlling the results of party endeavor in its broadest field that no campaign in whicn it engages can be considered t sufficiently local to free it from the responsibilities of its influ ence upon the party prospects, every where and at all times. This respon sibility has been well met in the pres ent campaign by the selection of trust worthy candidates, by intelligent party work, and by sensible effyts to secure harmonious democratic action." Cleveland closes by expressing the hope that the democrats 'will be re- j stored to power in the senate and that the meeting will be successful. Cleve land also wrote to President Truat of the Manhattan club, regretting his in ability to attend its reception to the New York state democratic candidates tonight, expressing the hope that the re sults of the campaign will demonstrate that the political sentiment of the peo ple of the state, is still in favor of safe and conservative democracy.

Governor Odell in an adrirca v, i "-i c Lvurjfiit 8Ug- matized the charges that he had util ized his office to further his financial interest by compelling state institutions to buy supplies from concerns in which he was interested, as a base slander. He flayed ex-Senator Hill for his re ferences to the charges, and said Hill had descended to the lowest level of any man ever honored with the office of eovernor. "Never," he said, "has a man used his office for his own personal advan tage as Hill has. Thia man, who has' never known the love of woman, and who never took delight in the prattle of children, has. more than once sacri ficed his best friends, ,with whom he has broken bread, to his own personal advancement, and I know what I am talking about. Five thousand people heard the gov ernor and vigorously applauded him. THE L1DSTH1 REJECTS-TREATY Copenhagen, Oct 22.
