FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1903. STRIKE THREAT FADES AWAY Miners' Convention Adopts Satisfactory Resolutions. District Presidents Assured of Recognition as Mem bers of the Board of Con ciliation. There will be no strike of the anthra cite coal minors growing out of the Con ciliation Hoard controversy. The con vention of Mine Workers at Scranton yesterday elected District Presidents Nlcholls, Fahey and Dettrey by districts as members of the Conciliation Hoard and President Mitchell received assur ances from President Baer that this will satisfy the operators that the miners' end of the Conciliation Hoard has been properly constituted. President Mitchell, on the one hand, in absolute control of tho miners; Hon. W. L. Connell, on the other hand, in close touch with the operators, and be tween them, as the communicating medium, Dr. Charles P. Noall, sliding scale commissioner and peace envoy of strike commissioners, cleared away in a very few hours the haze with which the industrial horizon of the anthracite re gion has been shadowed for the past month. Dr. Noall found out what was the most the one side would give and the least the other side would take. All that remalued to be done after this was to have tho operators as a body on the one side and the miners as a body on tho other formally agree to the tenatlve propositions of their respective repre sentatives. Mr. Connell, by long-dist ance telephone communication, and Mr. Mitchell through tho convention that was awaiting his bidding, accomplished this last step. Dr. Noall went to and fro between the respective representatives and the direct result was the presentation of a set of resolutions at tho opening of yes terday's session of the convention. The resolutions indorse the appoint ment of conciliators by the district boards and deprecate tho "arrogant re fusal of tho operators to carry out in a broad, fair, liberal spirit the award of the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission." The resolutions authorized the district presidents "to represent as on tho joint board of conciliation, and we hereby authorize them to act as our representa tives in the adjudication of all disputes growing out of the interpretation or ap plication of the award of tho Anthracite Coal Strike Commission and in any other way growing out of the relations of tho employers and employed." The executive boards were authorized to fill by appointment any vacancies that may take place in the miners' membership on the board of conciliation. A delegate moved and another second ed that the report of the committee on resolutions be adoptod. President Mitchell asked If there were any re marks. but not a word came in response. The report was adopted unanimously. Although the convention had Indorsed the appointment of the district presi dents as conciliators, President Mitchell announced that the three districts would next vote separately on the selec tion of representatives on the Hoard of Conciliation. While the delegates of one district were voting those of the other two districts remained silent. The convention elected delegates by districts to satisfy the operators who believe that only In that way would the requirements in the award of the commission be complied with. It was the convention's concession to the oper ators in the interests of peace. Shortly after 2 o'clock President Mit chell opened the afternoon session with the announcement that the operators would accept the district presidents as conciliators. Tumultuous applause was provoked by the announcement, A large nurabor of grievances were brought to the attention of the conven tion and they were referred to the con ciliators. A resolution providing that John Mit chell be authorized to represent the miners before the Buard of Conciliation was adopted. A preamble to the resolu tion recited that under the award of the commission the miners might select any one they saw fit to act as their represen tees at the Conciliation Hoard hearings. In answer to an Inquiry to one of the delegates President Mitchell stated that no increase had been forthcoming for May under the provisions of the sliding scale because the "average price" of coal had not advanced to 4 55, although the circular price was $4 GO. He had seen the figures, ho said, and presumed they were correct. The average price had only gone up to 84 52. The Juno price, ho thought, would reach 84.02 and the minors would have a 2 per cent increase coming to them. In commenting on a grievance pre sented by engineers President Mitchell said: "As far as I can learn somo of the en gineers oughtn't to get anything at all. They were granted a Sunday holiday by the commission, yet they work, tho seven days as formerly, so as to get an extra day's pay. One of the strongost cases we had before the commission was that of the engineers working seven days a week the year around and a twenty four-hour shift every two weeks. They are doing us and themselves a wrong by not taking advantage of the day off." Tho convention was brought to a close with a speech by President Mitch ell, In which he urgod the minors not to lose interest in their union. Ladies' Convention in Session, The First Slavonian Ladles' Catholic Union of the United States is holding its annual convention here this week.

BOARD OF TRADE Committee Named to Investigate the Trackless Trolley System. A regular meeting of the Hoard of Trade was held last evening. Post master B. F. Davis presided. Hugh Malloy reported the proposed improve ments to the Public park as not being agreeable to Mrs. Eckley B. Coxo, but that Mrs. Coxo was willing to contribute to beautifying the ground for the pur poses intended. Mr. Neußurger thought a dance pa vilion a necessity and desired that a committee be appointed to wait on Mr. Markle relative to procuring ground ad joining the park. The matter was dis cussed by Messrs. Hoyie, Geoppert and Malloy, who advised the members not to act too hasty. During the discussion it was intimated that a site for an ideal ploasure ground has been found within four minutes walk from the Municipal building and which, so far as shade and other advantages are concerned, will meet all the requirements. The only thing lacking is the money to purchase the ground outright, after which any thing in the form of amusemeut could be constructed. A letter from General Agent Poddy, of Scranton, of the Trackless Trolley Company, was read, in which ho offered to demonstrate advantages, etc., of the system. It was decided that a com mittee visit Scranton and investigate thoroughly Its merits. Tho following committee was named: S. J. Neu Bur ger, R. J. 0' Don nel I, Esq., and C. O. Stroh, Esq.
