TO HOLD A
CONVENTION
General Meeting of Miners
Has Been Called.
Representatives of the Three
Districts Summoned to
Gather at Hazleton on
August 27.
After a three days' mooting, held at
Hazleton, which ended on Saturday af
ternoon, the executive boards of Dis
tricts 1, 7 and 9, of the United Mine
Workers of America, adjourned without
coming to any decisive understanding
on the matters which mads their meet
ing necessary.
In fact, the matters discussed at the
meeting of the executive boards' mem
bers were deemed so important that a
general convention was considered nec
essary, before final action should be
taken.
The call for this convention has boon
issued. It will be held on August 27, at
Hazleton, providing that city can
demonstrate its ability to provide for
and accommodate tho number of dele
gates who will attend.
Representatives from every local union
of the United Mine Workers in the an
thracite region will be present. It Is
oxpectod that no less than 1,000 men
will attend the convention.
The members of the executive boards
have not made public the causes or the
questions which make the convention
necessary, but it is understood that the
recent card day troubles and the ill
feeling engendered by the recent strike
of the iiromon are among the number.
Tho miners desire the public to un
derstand that tho convention is not
called for tho purpose of declaring a
strike, or considering such action. Tho
organization is especially desirious of
avoiding making any move at this timo
which would result in a suspension of
work, and no trouble on that score need
be feared, unless those corporations
which are ruled by men whose prejudice
against labor unions Is so bitter that
they will insist on continuing their dis
criminating ami aggravating methods,
in violation of the agreement made last
April and at other times.
Smith Rebuked by Kudlick.
Alex. Allen, Sr., of Drifton, was
before Squire Shovlin on Saturday to
answer a charge of assault and battery,
preferred by Bernard McLaughlin, Jr.,
of town. The prosecutor claimed that
while on his way home from Jcddo he
met Allen in Drifton and was struck by
him without provocation. The defend
ant claimed the blow was an acci
dental one, given while getting out of the
way of the wheel ridden by McLaugh
lin. Neither side had any witnesses
and the justice discharged the case.
An amusing incident occurred during
Nonstable Welsh's visit to Drifton to
arrest Mr. Allen. While on bis way to
Freeland with thejirisoner they passed
the main office of Coxe Bros. Sc Co. Mr.
Allen asked and received permission
from the constable to notify Superinten
dent Smith of his arrest. When tho
pompous official heard of the alTair ho
gave one of his bi-weekly exhibitions of
ignorance.
He demanded that, ho be shown the
warrant, claimed that tho document
was not legally served on Mr. Allen and
insisted that he be told before whom
the hearing would take place. Failing
to bulldoze the constable, he contended
that tho prisoner could not bo taken to
Freeland until ho had his dinner.
Just as he was about reaching tho
limit of his interference with tho law,
Superintendent Kudlick arrived on tho
scene and promptly rebuked Smith for
his foolishness, after which the officer
and Mr. Allen proceeded on their way
to Squire Shovlin's office.
