CONVENTION
ON MONDAY
United Mine Workers Will
Approve Proposition.
Delegates From All Local
Unions in the Three An
thracite Districts Notified
to Meet at Wilkesbarre.
"To the officers and members of all
local unions In Districts 1, 7 and 9,
United Mine Workers of America:
"Gentlemen.—
"At a meeting of the executive board-?
of Districts 1, 7 and 9 it was unanimous
ly agreed to Issue a call for a delegate
convention, and recommend to that con
vention that all mine workers now on
strike return to their former positions
and working places and submit to the
commission appointed by the president
of the United States all questions at
Issue between the operators and the
mine workers of the anthracite coal
fields.
"In pursuance thereof you are here
by notified that a convention will be
held In the city of Wilkesbarre be
ginning at 10 a. in., Monday, October 20.
The purpose of the convention will be
to act upon the proposition submitted
by the president of the United States.
"Local unions will hold meetings not
later than Friday night to elect dele
gates to attend such convention.
"The basis of representation will be
one vote to each 100 members or less,
and an additional vote for each addi
tional 100 members or a majority frac
tion thereof. The president and secre
tary of each local will fill out one cre
dential and one duplicate for each dele

Hotel accommodations are being arrang
ed and will bo announced to delegates

"Respectfullly submitted on behalf of
the executive board.' 1
John Mitchell, National President.
\V. B. Wilson, National Secretary.
WILL APPROVE PROPOSITION.
The convention, It Is expected, will
act favorably upon the recommenda
tions of the joint executive boards of
Districts 1, 7 and 9, as the mine workers
have full confidence in the commission
ers named yesterday by President
Roosevelt. The commissioners are as
follows:
Brlgadlor General John M. Wilson,
U. S. A., rotired (late chief of engineers),
Washington, D. C.
E. W. Parker, Washington, D. C.,
chief statistician of the coal division of
the United {States Geological Survey
and the editor of the Engineering and
Mining Journal of Now York.
Hon. George Gray, Wilmington, Del.,
a judge of a United States court.
E. E. Clarko, Cedar Rapids, lowa,
grand chief of the Order of Railway
Conductors.
Thomas 11. Watklns, Scranton, Pa.
Bishop John L. Spauldlng, Peoria, 111.
Hon. Carroll D. Wright, United States
commissioner of labor, will servo as re
corder of the commission.
While to all appearances the president
has selected a commission in accordance
with the definitions of the operators,
with the addition of Bishop Spalding to
the number of men they asked for, he
has really selected a board of arbitrators
to whom no one could advance the
slightest reasonable objections. The
FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1902.
operators have a representative In the
person of Mr. Watklns, and the United
Mine Workers a representative of or
ganized labor in E. E. Clarke. The
other members of the commission are
men of the highest character, with no
affiliations with either side to the con
troversy.
CONVENTION CALL UNANIMOUS.
At the meeting of the district execu
tive boards yesterday it i 9 said that
thore was some criticism of the plan of
settlement by a few of the members who
desired to insist that the union staud
out for recognition.
Mitchell's reply was in effect that he
recommended the call of a convention
of miners to consider the proposition as
speedily as possible on those grounds:
1. That the consent of the operators
to arbitrate wa9 a victory.
2. That the union would, and, as a
matter of fact had already been, recog
nized by the president of the United
States in sending for its officials and
submitting to them the plan of the op
erators.
3. That the operators owed it to hu
manity to make some concessions toward
settling the strike as soon as possible.
4. That the rights of the mine work
ers, union and non-union alike, would
be respected, in accordance with the
wishes of President Roosevelt.
Mitchell said that he had done every
thing in bis power to gain all the con
cessions demanded by the mine workers,
aud asked if there was any dissatisfac
tion, intimating if there wa9, his will
ingness to step aside and permit any
other man to take up the work.
This declaration, diplomatically veil
ed, was rejected at once, and although
there was considerable discussion over
various points in the arbitration scheme,
when the project of calling the conven
tion was put to a vote it was carried
unanimously.
The convention will last at least two
days and work will not be resumed bo
fore Thursday.
FRKELAND PEOPLE HAPPY.
When the news reached town yester
day morning that the representatives of
the operators had agreed to the changes
in their proposition suggested by Mr.
Mitchell, and that the president had
named his commissioners, thore was
general rejoicing among all classes.
When the mine workers loarned the
commissioners' names they were exceed
ingly well pleased and scarcely one
could be found who did not feol that
they have won a substantial victory.
They viewed It in the light that the
Shamokin convention, at which the
demands were formulated, asked for
arbitration if tho operators did not feel
disposed to grant increased wages,
shorter hours, etc., aud this has now
been secured after hearing for five
months that "there is nothing to arbi
trate."
Among business and professional
people, and workers in other linos, the
prospects of an early resumption of
work, with probabilities of hotter condi
tions for the mine workers as a result of
the commission's report, was joyful
news, and a widespread feeling that
bright days are coming again was mani
fested by the conversation and actions
of all who haye been affected by the
strike.
Inflamed the Jurors' Minds.
In court on Wednesday, Judge Ferris
ordered the withdrawal of the jurors
from two Important case 9. One case
was a suit for #20,000 damages, for
Injuries sustained by Mr 9. Clarke, while
riding on a train of the Lehigh Valley
Company which was wrecked at Pond
Creek in July, 1806. The other was
that of Henry Zlegler V 9. the Wiikes
barre aud Eastern Railroad, in which
the plaintiff claims that the railroad
company has appropriated valuable coal
lands belonging to him.
Counsel for the railroad companies
raised the points in both cases that the
lawyers for the plaintiffs had used im
proper languago iu addressing the jury,
and that their remarks had a tendency
to inilame and prejudice tho minds of
the jnrors.
Judge Ferris took this view, and tho
jurors were withdrawn, and the cases
continued. Several Freeland people
were present in court t > testify in the
Clarke case.
