OF thousands Of miners, thefr wives
and children, depended on the action
Of the gathering. Although the rank

Sbued with the idea that the operators
We're ready to throw up their hands
and pay the G9.cent rate demanded by
the strikers, President Pat Dolan, by
excellent diplomacy, tact and perse-
verence, kept the miners so well with
u bounds that the delegates from this
district will go to Columbus with In
structions to use their discretion in
the settlement OF the difficulty. Presi-
dent Dolan was well aware Of the fact
that It the delegates went to the Co
lumbus convention instructed to hold
out for tile 69-cent rate another strike
more bitter than ever, with. hunger
and starvation for many, was immi-
nent. To him alone belongs the credit
Of having the delegates go unhamp-
cred by resolutions and free to net as
they think best for the good Of the
miners Of the Pittsburg district. His
idea was to have the delegates go to
Columbus untrammeled, where they
could consult with delegates from 9TH
er states and with the national Of
ficers. He intimated that there would
he many questions to be considered
that have as yet not appeared on the
surface.
From another source It has been
learned that Dolan will make a big.
fight on behalf Of the mining industry
of Western Pennsylvania. 1t is stated
that at the conference with the ope-
rators ut Columbus last week he was
appraised Of certain facts which led
him to believe that not only the ope-
ratOrs but the miners Of this district
have been Disseminated against, and
fight will he made for justice and
fairness. Whether or not the entire
battle will be fought out Is an open
question, but It Is known that the
basis for permanent settlement in
the Pittsburg district next December
will be we'll defined and thoroughly
understood Mt the Columbus meeting.
If the issues are too finely drawn it is
intimated that there will be a seces-
sion from the national organization
by the Pittsburg district. BY many
this move seems probable.
