CHARLESTON. W. Va. April 2l.-A
meeting of miners from all parts of the
State was held here to-day in the
Knights of Labor Hall in the Cotton
block. There were about fifty miners
present. representing All the mining re-
gionS of the State, and the meeting was
characterized throughout by a perfect
harmony. The meeting was called 20
order al 1890 o'clock by District Or
ganizcr VI. +. Moran. OF Wheeling. who
stated the object of the meeting To be
the organization of "A District Assembly
Of United Mine Workers of America.
The organization was then effected.
to be known as District no. l., United
Mine Workers of West Virginia. OIL
GERS were then elected for the ensuing
year as follows; President. Michael f..
Moran; Vice President, Ii. VI. Smith;
Secretary, Henry A. Foster. The En-
ccutyc Board is composed of the Presi-
dent and Secretary and VIM. \. Jewell,
Patrick McAuley and +. +. Prickctt.
The various committees were then APP
pointed and recess taken.
At 1870 o'clock the meeting was
again called To order and ConStitu
tion and bylaws were adopted
The Initiation fee was placed at one dol
lar and the monthly capitation at ten
cents for each member in the district.
For the Wheeling district the Ohio scale
of prices was adopted, which IS 20 cents
per ton for screened coal and 30 cents
for the run of the mine. This is an adj
vance of 81 cents per ton over the
price now paid i'm that district. For the
Kanawha Valley the Ohio scale was also
adopted. being e.. cents per ton more
than is now paid. 1T will
be- demanded that these scales
be adopted ON and after May
first and as it is not AT all likely that the
operators I'm this valley will agree TO the
advance. it seems probable that there
will bee a general strike of the miners in
this valley at the first Of May. The
meeting further endorsed the action OF
the miners in the Flat Top region Of
West Virginia in demanding an advance
of five cents per ton. and pledged their
support TO the miners in the demand.
Patrick Mcbride. of Pennsylvania, a
member of the National Executive
Board is here. and will remain couple
Of weeks among the miners Of the VAL
ley in the interests of the West Virginia
district of mine workers.
