MINERsvILLE, Pa, Feb. AT the last
session of the Pennsylvania legislature a
commission, composed of an equal num-
Der of practical miners and mine opera
tors, was appointed to revise the mine
laws. The commission has just COM
pleted its work, which will be shortly
presented to the legislature, and in all
probability passed without amendment.
The law applies to every mine that
employs more than five persons. The
inspector must be q citizen of Pennsyl-
vania, must be 35 years of age and have
a knowledge of the different systems Of
working coal mines, have been practic.
ally connected with the anthracite coal
fields of Pennsylvania for at least ten
years, and must have an experience in
the working and ventilation of coal
mines where noxious and explosive
gases are evolved. He must provide him
self with the most modern instruments
and appliances for carving out the in
tentions of the act. HIS salary is fixed
at s., 600. He must reside in the district
for which he is appointed, and must de
vote his whole time and attention to thu
duties of his Office.

In my judgment. either we must regu-
late these roads either fair share must

within twenty-five years either peacea-
ply if . law can be passed, if not, which
I deplore, by means that no man could
approve, there will some day be a great
settlement and a final and just decision
of that question which was raised 1900
years ago, aye, 5000 years ago: whether
the man who does the work may have
his share of the profits, or whether
some more powerful man may throttle
him and take that share from him!-

3 SILyxRToN, Feb. 2.-The minefs' con
vention here last night at the City hall
was very successful and orderly affair.
notwithstanding the object for which
the convention had been called was OBJ
tanned over 800 miners we're present and
800 more were represented by delegates,
some of them bearing resolutions with
names attached.
Lawrence Herman, of the ASPEN mine,
called the meeting. to order and stated
the object. Peter Burns, master work
man of the Knights of Labor, was made
chairman, and Joseph 10y. secretary.
Tie Yankee Girl miners had meet
ing on the thirtieth at the mine and
adopted resolutions that they we're in
earnest sympathy with the strike and
pledged themselves to render every as
sistance in their power to aid the strikers
in the Aspen mine. They instructed
committee of three to bear copy of the
resolutions with the names Of all the
men signed to it, to the miners conven.
ton, and the committees presented it
bearing thirty seven names.
The National Belle miners sent in
paper signed by twenty-five men, agree-
ing to support the Aspen miners in their
strike to uphold wages at $3.50 per day,
and consenting to abide by anv platform
the convention might adopt.
The old Lout mine, at Mineral point,
sent down q delegate with resolutions,
declaring that they would not work un-
derground for less than $3.50 per day,
and would use all honorable means to
prevent others from doing SO. They
would assist all who may refuse to 90 to-
work at reduced wages, pecuniarily and
otherwise, and pledged themselves to
support any action taken at the conven-
tion consistent with their resolutions.
This was signed by twenty-three names.
The Animas Forks mines sent down a
delegate with paper signed by twelve
names, expressing their opposition to
any reduction of miners wages, and hop
ing that it would be resisted by every
miner in the country.
( Other miners were represented by
delegates not bearing resolutions.
Speeches were made by Chairman Burns,
Lawrence Herman, Cornelius B. Smith
and others. relating the details of the
strike. and that their success was due to
a firm union of all the men employed IN
the Aspen mine, but to better protect
themselves in the future they recon-
the miners to Join the Knights
of Labor, either to form assemblies of
their own at each mine where there are
more than ten men employed, or annex
themselves to the Silverton assembly.
Many of them handed in their names to
become members of the Silverton organ
ization.
A resolution was adopted that $3.50
per day was fair and equitable COM
pensation for men in underground work,
and that the miners pledge themselves
not to work for less, and will resist by
all honorable means any reduction from
that down,
Every miner in the hall came forward
and signed his name to the resolution
and committee was appointed to con-
fer with all the miners working in the
San Juan country to pledge themselves
to this resolution, after which the con-
vention adjourned to meet again at the
call of the chairman.
