ALL MINERS MA STRIKE,
KI'.ARS THAT 100,000 OPERATIVES
MAY DECIDE UPON A GENERAL
MOVEMENT.
President John McBride, of the
United Mine Workers of America, has
issued a circular call for the fifth an
nual convention of the organization to
be held nt Columbus, commencing
April 10. The convention will be the
most important convention yet held,
for at that convention a "national
movement" will be considered.
This mean3 the total suspension of
work by miners from Colorado to East
ern Pennsylvania. If adopted and a
date set the greatest strike in the his
tory of the miner of America will be
inaugurated. There are in America,
fully one hundred thousand miners
who are attached to the United Mine
Workers organization.
For several months the officials have
been preparing for the national move
ment. Organizers and State and Dis
trict Presidents have been working at
the organization and with such success
that it is estin.ated fully fifteen thou
sand additional miners have been
brought into the union already and by
the time the convention meets at least
that many more additional miners will
have become members.
It is expected in the Pittsburg dis
trict alone that the 12,000 miners and
coke workers of the Connellsville re
gion and the 8000 river and railroad
miners will be organized. Meetings
are being held nightly, conventions
called and no means left undone to
arouse enthusiasm pmong the coal dig
gers for the national movement.
The same applies to the Ohio,
Tennessee, West Virginia, Indiana,
Illinois and Missouri coal fields.
Coke production in the Connells
ville region last week was two thou
sand tons greater than that of the
previous week, but the output was not
up to the standard. In the weekly
shipments there was a decrease of 75
cars, Showing that some of the product
was stocked on the yards.
The demand did not improve much
during the week, as the operators
anticipated.
A detailed report of the operation
and output shows 11,219 active anfl
6294 idle ovens with a total estimated
production of 110,7.11 tons compared
with the production of the 'previous
week. This was an increase of 2040
tons. In the active list of ovens there
was a net gain of 19 j ovens.

Economical Spring Gowns For Ladies.
A somewhat rapid glance over the
coming fashions shows that they are
practically the same as last year's.
This fact, however, will prove a
blesaing in disguise, as it will enable
many to exercise a well timed economy
and take advantage of this sameness
of style for remodelling old dresses.
Every part of a gown can thus be
made over, and especially the over
skirt which will be so largely worn.
By using an old skirt as an overdress
above a shapi skirt of a different ma
terial, the transformation will be at
once both complete and elective. If
the lower nart of an old dress be worn
or soiled, it may easily be removed, as
the drapery in some styles is drawn up
as U'' as tne knee on the side, and
half way bet-veen the foot nnd the
knee in front. As a matter of course
the draperies are varied in form and
sometimes quite complicated. The
McDi vi;u. Fashion Journals con
tain all the novelties of the season,
and moreover, in order to furnish fur
ther assistance to their readers, they
offer a supplement of patterns of the
latest styles. These may be secured
by means of coupons at an exceeding
ly moderate price. "La Mode de Paris"
and "Paris Album of Fashion" cost
only $3 5 a 'ear r 35 cents each per
copy. "The French Dressmaker" is
$3.00 per annum or 30 cents a copy.
"La Mode," which is the best family
fashion magazine in existence is offer
ed at the exceedingly low price of
$1.50 a year or 15 cents a copy. If
you are unable to procure any of these
publications from your newsdealer do
not take any substitute from him but
apply by mail to Messrs. A. McDow
ell & Co., 4 West 14th Street, New
York.
