Minn Worker* Threaten SiiHpenslon in the Anthracite Region. Reports from Wilkosbarre at 3 p. m. today Indicate that a convention of the United Mine Workers of the anthracite region will be called for the purpose of ordering a suspension of work. Official announcement of this has not yet been made, but will probably be given out this evening or early tomorrow. Tho 9trike feeling Is reported strong in every portion of the region. The members of the three anthracite district boards of the United Mine Workers, who are in session at Wilkos barre, have decided to threaten a general suspension of work throughout the anthracite region if the operators do not at once agree to recognize District Presidents Nichols, Fahy and Dettrey as members of the Conciliation Board and adjust the grievances under which tho mine workers are now laboring. This action was taken at tho close of a long session and a full discussiou of the situation, aud is understood to bo the course suggested by President Mit chell at the conference with tho district presidents In Buffalo on Sunday to force the operators to terms. Since the finding of the Strike Com mission was made public, the mine workers have lived up to all the recom mendations in it, and the operators have done likewise, except the portions relating to the adjustment of grievances by the Board of Conciliation, the ap pointment of a commissioner to report upon the price of coal at tidewater and the adjustment of the wages of tho mine workers upon the sliding scale basis. The Board of Conciliation is expected to adjust all the grievances of tho mine workers which can not be settled by a committee of the workers and the col liery officials These disputes are in the main as follows: The claim of the Schuylkill district inine workers for an eight-hour day on Saturday as they have worked for many years instead of tho full nine-hour day as specified by the commission. The complaint that driver boys and other company hands are roquirod to work more than nine hours in stabling their mules and preparing for the ensu ing day's work. The charges by the mine workers of discrimination in the employment of union men. The claim of the rock workers that they are entitled to the same por cent of back pay that the coal miners re ceived from November 1 to April 1. The charges that wage discrimina tions are taking place at various collier ies. The Board of Trade. An interesting meeting of tho Board of Trade was held last evening.

Besler, the general manager, had not been answered for want of time, but Mr. Crawford expected to be able to report his reply by next meeting Wal ter Parker, of the Pond Creek Terra Cotta Work 9, and W. It. Flad were added to the railroad committee. The improvement committee was in creased by adding the names of B. F. Davis and Hugh Malloy. Councilman Crawford gave some good suggestions to -the improvement com; mittee and cited a few of the many things in town which require attention. Ho believed that if the committee would get together and recommend, that con ditions are favorable to do much good along those lines. Postmaster Davis al so discussed the matter and said that free delivery was often spoken of, but that it would never come if the popula tion should grow to 25,000 while the sidnwalks remain as they are and the houses not properly numbered.
