that more are swarm'ng N every day,

one-half was gold, the remainder drafts

gers repeat and emphasize the stories
OF shortage OF provisions at Dawson.
They express great bitterness at the
men who first came out and started the
stories which created the rush TO the

Wednesday.
After day of voting and wrangling
the convention adopted a resolution ac-
ccpting the proposition OF the Pitts
burgh operators. The vote was 495 for

settlement, IL votes not being east. The
delegates from Illinois. who had $50
votes, were unanimous against a set
Element. Indiana and West Virginia
voted solidly co accept the operators
proposition, but there were scattering
votes among the Ohio and Pittsburgh
delegates against IL. The resolutions
adopted are as follows:

sylvania. West Virginia. ohio. Indiana and
Illinois. IN convention assembled. do here

action of the national executive board
in recommending a settlement on the
terms proposed.
The Illinois miners will be called in

state Some OF the Illinois delegates
are very bitter in their denunciation Of
the action OF the convention, since they
claim their interests have not been

the action OF the deputies in firing into
the crowd OF striking miners at Halle

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept.1i.-- The min
