CONFERENCE
OR STRIKE
Substance of a Resolution
Adopted by Miners.
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
