MEN MAY MERGE Questions to Come Up at Co lumbus Convention Next Month Hazleton, Pa., Aug. 14. —Alliances !of the forces of the United Mine : Workers of America and the four | brotherhoods of the railroad work i ers probably will be perfected at ! the international convention of the I miners in Columbus, Ohio, next I month. | This fact was revealed here by i Thomas Kennedy, of this city, dis- I trict president of District No. 7, U. [M. W. of A. The preliminary steps i for the uniting of these two forces of labor in this country have been completed in recent conferences be tween the leaders and the steps will be reported on at the coming con ' vention. Full ratification of the | movement is confidently expected. The movement is modeled after the triple alliance of labor forces in England and is designed to give full weight to the labor forces of the country. The united action taken by the brotherhoods in 1916 in presenting their demand for an eight-hour day has been an object lesson to labor in general and with the transporta tion and mining industries combined the coming submission of demands by the mine workers will be given added weight. • It was also ascertained that the miners will submit few demands next spring, but that these will be of vast importance and will be back ed up by the power of the alliance that will have been carried to its consummation by that time.
