Officers Given Authority to Declare a Suspension of Work if Operators Will Not Meet Them. Contrary to all expectations, the con vention of the United Mine Workers, before adjourning on Saturday, adopted a resolution demanding; recognition from the operators and placing the power to declare a strike in the hands of the na tional exocutive board and the district officers. The resolution is as follows: '"Whereas, We have on several occa sions invited and implored the operators to meet with us in joint conference to mutually agree upon and establish a scale of wages and conditions of employ ment for the term of one year; and, "Whereas. They have repeatedly ig nored our invitations and treated us with contemptuous silence, scorning our invitations and demands alike; and, "Wheras. We believe that we are en titled to much more consideration than we receive and are fully entitled to meet , with those who employ us, and are our equals under the law and constitution of our country, and with them discuss and decide matters of mutual interest; there fore be it. "Resolved, That we authorize our president, national executive board and officers of Districts 1, 7 and U, to nego tiate. if possible, for a joint conference of miners and operators, between this date and the first of April, 1901. In the event of their failure to secure a joint conference they may, by a majority vote, decide the policy of our movement, oven if it is necessary to resort to a sus pension of work to force the justice due us as producers of wealth equally with our employers." The resolution was adopted by a vote of 345 for and 2G5 against.. This was accomplished through tbo combination of Districts 1 and 9. The delegates from District 7 were opposed to the resolution, as were many of the dele gates from District 9. An effort was also made before the convention adjourned to consolidate the three districts Into one, with Scranton as headquarters. This measure was vigorously opposed and was defeated by a large vote. When interviewed before departing for Scranton, President Mitchell said that the entire matter now rested with himself, the district presidents and the national board. As yet no plan has been decided on by the board as to when the operators will be notified. This will probably he done today, as tho board is now in session at Scranton. Asking for a Receiver. Troubles that have been long brewing in the Funeral Benefit Association of the Patriotic Order Sons of America will have an airing in Philadelphia court this morning, when tho court will be asked to appoint a receiver for the association. The court gave a preliminary hearing in the case on last Tuesday, when equity proceedings were brought by Joshua Hollingshead and other members of the association to have a receiver appointed ! to take charge of tho body and manago its affairs. Counsel for the board of managers of tho association did not oppose the application for a receiver, but joined in asking for such action. The factions, however, did not unite upon the person to act in that capacity, and the court announced that further argument would be heard today, when the court itself expected to name the receiver. Since September last, It was claimed by the petitioners (or a receivership, a Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat. 11. artificially digests the lood and aids Nature in strengthening and recon structing the exhausted digestive or j gaus.
