CONFERENCE
POSTPONED
Miners' Meeting Not to Be
Held Until August.
Gathering Date Set Back
Two Weeks Later to Al
low Workers to Fully Dis-
cuss the Questions
The date of the Important joint con
ference of delegates representing all the
union miners in the anthracite regions,
which was to have been held on July 3<>
at Hazleton, lias been postponed until
August 13. The two weeks'extra time
was desired in order to complete prepara
tions for tlie meeting, and President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
has just issued his official call. In his
call he instructs tlve secretaries of all
local unions to call meetings for the
election of delegates, and says that the
convention is to be for the purpose of
readjusting the wages of miners.
The care being taken in making the
preparations for the convention is evi
dence of its importance. The two
weeks' postponement was granted in
order to allow the questions which are
to be discussed at the meeting to be
fully talked over in the local unions
first, so that the delegates shall be fully
in touch with the sentiment of the men
they represent.
It is hoped to have an almost unani
mous vote in favor of testing the
strength of the organization on the four
questions which were given in the
Tribune recently. Unofficial reports
of meetings held by the local unions in
this district show the men to be almost
a unit in favor of taking a decisive step
and the reports from the other two
districts are of the same tenor.
There is some talk also about the in
troduction of politics in the convention,
but whether or not this will materialize
it is' impossible to say. The idea of
some of the miners is that the entire
organization of the United Mine Work
ers should agree to support a certain
candidate who is pledged to their in
terest. They say that if this were done,
if they were sure of their candidate and
could be as suro of their organization,
their power is sufficient to elect a con
gressman, a state senator, a judge and
minor officials in this county.
Fishermen Organize.
The meeting called for Friday even
ing at the Grand opera house was well
attended by tho friends of fish, and a
great deal of onthusiam and interest
was manifested in the proceedings.
After an explanation of the purpose for
which the meeting was called, to devise
ways and means to stock and protect
tiie trout streams of the region, the
gathering reorganized the Freeland
Game and I'ish Protective Association
and elected the following officers:
President—Hugh Malloy.
Vice president—E. J. Curry.
Secretary—Roger J. Dover.
Treasurer—Thomas Evans.
Directors —Griffith Jones, Jacob Sos
nowski, Lewis Young, Thomas Roberts
and E. J. Curry.
The club decided that one of the first
matters requiring its attention was the
rebuilding of tho dam on Hayes, crenk,
near White Haven. Hugh Malloy. 11.
C. Koons, Thomas Evans and Griffith
Jones were appointed as a committee to
solicit subscriptions for this purpose.
The club has taken hold of the matter
in good shape and if successful in
carrying out the plans the day is not
far distant when trout fishing will be as
profitable hereabouts as it was some
years ago.

LISTLESS
BALL GAME
Plymouth Defeated Tigers
by Small Margin.
In a Poorly Played Game
Yesterday the Visiting
Club Won the Contest by
a Score of 4 to 2.
The game of base ball yesterday be
tween the Tigers and Plymouth club,
was a listless exhibition that dragged
itself out to an unsatisfactory finish for
the home team. Both sides played like
a lot of tired boys, who were doing some
perfunctory work that was painfully
laborious.
The Tigers had a shade the bettor of
it in the early part of the game. Burke
was tjio more effective pitcher, and at
several critical times retired his oppon
ents on strike-outs. lie, however, final
ly made the error which gave the visi
tors the game.
With the score even at two, and a
man on second base, the batter hit an
easy grounder to Ilurke, who got ready
to throw the hitter out at first. As he
did this, the run nor on second attempt
ed to steal third. Somoouo called to
Burke to put the ball to third. The
pitcher threw, but the ball went about
ftfteon feet wido of its mark and rolled
down into loft field. The runner
scampered homo. A few more errors
gavo Plymouth another run.
The Tigers could not make up the
lead in the last inning, although they
were exhorted and encouraged by all
tho small boys in the park, who swarm
ed around the diamond and buzzed like
a million of bees.
Tho score by innings was as follows:
Plymouth 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 2 x—4
Tigers 10010000 o—2

afternon. While working in a gangway
a sudden rush of coal caught him and
made him a prisoner. Tho coal held
him fast and piled about him in a
threatening manner.
Ills fellow-workmen immediately went!
to his rescue. They built a barrier to j
prevent another rush, then began thej
work of extricating Quinn. After sever
al hours' labor success crowned their
efforts and the young man was saved,
thoroughly exhausted, but uninjured.
His oscapo from death was marvelous,
and his rescuers deserve credit for their
ingenuity in bringing him forth ali/o
from his perilous position.
