The conference of the executive boards of Districts Nos. 1, 7 and 9, of the United Mine Workers, convened in Hazleton yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock and the conference will likely continue until tomorrow. The leaders positively refuse to divulge any of the proceedings. Home of the delegates, however, do not conceal the fact that serious matters are under consideration, chief of which is the alleged tyranny practiced by a certain company, and which may be the means of declaring a strike at its mines at any moment. The card day examination is another important matter, while not the least important is the alleged refusal of sev eral companies to live up to the April agreement. The union has bound itself to con tinue working until next April, but, if the mining firms and corporations con tinue to Impose upon their employes, serious trouble may be expected. These are the questions to be consid ered and definitely acted upon before adjourning: Adoption of some plan to secure an agreement with the coal companies whereby the latter will grant permission to card committees to make stated in spections at the collieries, thus avert ing potty strikes. How to get the stationery firemen, the stationary engineers, the teamsters and blacksmiths who are now organized sep arately, into the United Mine Workers. Reinstatement of the firemen who struck recently and have not yet been taken back. Settlement of local grievances which have arisen since the last strike. To get all the men into the local unions established at the collieries where they are employed. Plans for bringing about a joint con ference with the operators may also be talked over.
