COLUMBUS, O., May 29.-The National
miners convention. with sixty-two dele
gates from Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, western

day, President Penna being in the chair
and Patrick McBryde secretary. President
Penna made a speech reviewing the situa-
ton since last June. One point was. that
Pittsburg operators refused, as shown by a
letter from them, to cooperate with Ohio
operators in a joint convention with the
National Miners Association, because
Pittsburg believed the differential of 9
cents between Ohio and western Pennsyl-
vania ought to be abolished and Ohio op-
orators would not consent to that. Ope-
rators of other States then held an in
formal conference and agreed that unless
Pittsburg would come into an interstate
agreement it was useless to go further.
The present convention, he said, was to
consider the foregoing situation. He then
stated the conditions in the re-
srective States. In conclusion Mr..

but this was a matter TO be determined by
the convention. He said: II don't believe
the miners of Illinois or in the block coal

burg, MIR. Penna said they had work at
wages satisfactory 10 themselves and did
not care whether the miners of Ohio had
work or not.
The convention. this afternoon. by a vote
of 1873 to 80, adopted the following report
by the committee on resolutions:
Whereas, We now recognize the fact
that 60 cents per ton is the price now es-
tablished in the Pittsburg field and, with
the number of men now working, ii would
be impossible at this time to again get
them all to suspend; and,
Whereas, We also recognize the fact that
the miners of Indiana, both block and BIZ
luminous, have agreed by contract to
work the bituminous mines until July ID,
1895, and the block coal miners to May 1,
1896. and,
Whereas, We believe the position of Illi-
nois. the northern part of which is under
contract for one year, and a considerable
part of West Virginia is such that they
could not, or would not, suspend at this
time. even if called upon to do So by this
