there will bo no discrimination. .
The vote . to adopt the ' resolution
was unanimous. , : 1
Previous to the adoption of the
resolution commended by the' scale
committee President Mitchell made a
strong anti-strike speech in whtoh ho
said that he would never consent to
pror.csltion of the operators for a 1
limited arbitration. He declared
that what the miners had seemed by
strikes ttey proposed to keep. Presi
dent Mitchell sadd in part:
; "RtJier than accept restricted arbl
t ration It Is far better that we con
tinue at work under the award of lue
commission. I am afraid the commie
aion Would reduce wages of the high
est paid men and give It to the lowest
paid men. That might seem fair to
the commission but would not be fair
to us. Wbat we must do is to raise
the lower paid men to a sutncaid ot
the Twgaest paid men. That thete
should be an increase of wages there
la no question. If 1 were sure that a
strike, would be successful, that you
would stand firm and long enough, I
should advise you to strike aua re
main out but from Information which
wo have I am fearful that our people
are cot inclined to' strike. It would
be a strike with which many ot cur
peopJo axe not in sympathy."
The speech was received witn
