Increase of Wages.
WHEELING, w. Va, June "a big
strike in the Kanawha and New River
coal regions on the 18th of this month is
threatened. The United Mine workers
Of Kanawha, Fayette and Pullman coun-
ties held meeting at Montgomery.
Delegates representing forty-three mines
were present and adopted resolutions de-
manding an advance of 10 cents per ton
OF .. 600 pounds and half cent per bushel
over 1s inch screen, said advance to take
effect June 25. The resolution calls on
all unorganized miners to hold them
selves ready to organize at once, and ap-
points another convention for the 18th.
The kanawha region is the largest coal
district in the state. 1t was there that the
strike of February, 1894 resulted in such
rioting that the state troops had to be
called out.
BLUEFIELD, w. Va, June 5.-More SOL
diers have arrived in Pocahontas. The
coal operators claim that since the par.
tial withdrawal of the militia the miners
have grown bolder and an organized at
attack was feared by the operators on the
men in the mines. The West Virginia
operators have still a large guard on duty
to see that the men are not molested. No
move is in sight looking to a termination
of the strike, and the sending in of new
soldiers has aroused the miners.

COLUMBUS, June 5-The state executive
committee m the Democrats. headed by
Allen w. Thurman, has Issued a circular
correcting the mistaken belief that it is
its province to call Democratic state
convention, aduty. it says, that belongs
TO the state central committee. 1t states
that nine-tenths Of the rank and file of
the party are in favor Of calling n conven-
ton at once, and says that it has request
ed Chairman Smalley to call the central
committee together.
The executive committee has also urged
the central committee to call conven-
tion, but says it knows of no other reason
why the convention should not be called
"Cxcept that Senator Calvin S. Brice,
who apparently controls the chairman of
the state central committee, will not per
init il. The reason for this is perfectly
apparent Senator Brice, realizing that
he is not in harmony with the great ma
jority of the Democratic party of Ohio
upon the money question, wants time in
which he can, by political manipulation
and machinery, control, If possible, the
declaration the Democracy of the state
will mako on this issue in tho conven.
tion."
The circular goes on to say: Judging
from the Information received by the Of.
fcers Of the executive committee We are
also led to believe that at least four-f1fths
Of the Democratic party Of Ohio are in fa-
vor Of re-adopting the plank Of last year,
advocating the free coinage Of gold and
silver at the ratio of IL to 1; and we
further believe that they should be per.
mitted to meet in convention and SO ex-
press themselves If this Is their will, free
from any interference by leaders on either
side of this question"

they are keeping quiet. But when the IS
