MINERS EXPEC'l' MUCH MONEY
Officers Believe That Labor Day Will
be of Great Benefit to Them.
INDIANAPOLIS. 1nd.. August 29——
Tho officers of the United Mine Work.
crs believe Labor Day will be of great
benefit to them. They have received
word that at runny places, osilccinily
in the mining region, the pending min-
ing strikes will be mndeyery promi-
nent and collections are to be token to
assist the minors. They expect that
largo sums of money will be l’orlhcem
ing to them from these collections.
The national officers of the organize.
tion have not token any steps to push
their affairs on the various Labor Day
committees in charge of the celebra-
tions over the country. as they do not
wish to monopolize the exercises.
However, they say. owing to the
prominence oi the anthracite strike.
by which more than 350 000 people are
affected it will be impossible to dwell
at any length on alfairs of labor with
out speaking of the strike. As It has
been endorsed by the American Fed
oration of Labor and by many of the
lending labor unions individually the
cause, of the miners must of necessity oi
b helped. thoolllcera think. Even at
p aces where no collections are to be
taken for the miners, the officers or
the organization believe the recital of
their grievances will result in stirring
on contributions“
