COAL MINERS CONVENTION

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 3O.-A del
egate convention of coal miners of the
Pittsburgh district has been called for
next Saturday by District President
Dolan, at which the miners win decide
whether or not strike shall be inau-
gurated for higher rate. The call
says all miners, organized and unor-
ganized, will be entitled to representa-
tlon.
In speaking to a correspondent of the
Associated Press to-day. President Do
Ian said:
There will be no strike OF miners a.
this time, unless the convention decides
in favor of such action. If strike Is
inaugurated in the Pittsburgh district,
there is no doubt that the diggers In all
other mining states will join in the
movement"
II seems that general strike order
was to have been issued contingent on
certain circumstances. These Circum-
stances had not developed, and the plans
OF the leaders were spoiled by the pre-
mature report that the order had been
Issued. There Is a growing sentiment
on the part OF the miners 10 strike. and
II Is probable that but little coal VIII

Cornell won by three-tourths OF a
length; Columbia second by one-third
Of a length over Pennsylvania, The
official time: Cornell minutes. q l-5
seconds: Columbia 0 minutes. % s-5
seconds: Pennsylvania 0 minutes, % l-5
seconds.
The freshmen race over the,two mile
course here this afternoon between
three American crews rowinswjth pure-
ly American methods. was one OF the
most remarkable in the annals of boat
racing IN this country. II was insplr-
ing, magnificent.
The feature OF the race wns the won-
derful spurt made by the Columbia
youngsters in the last half mile, when
they closed up gap between them-
selves and Cornell so fast that had
there been another eighth OF q mile to
row they would have been In first place,
A second feature was the remarkable
rowing of the Pennsylvania crew which
had been seen by its trainer to be IA
very bad shape.
When the pistol was fired. Pennsyll
vania caught the water flrst with a
swift stroke that showed the nose 5f
her boat clearly ahead OF the otherg.
Cornell and Columbia started a trlfin
more easily and Cornell fell slightly 20
the rear OF the New Yorlsers. All start
ed at u thirty-six stroke, but Cornell
true to the Courtney training, dropped
down TO thirty-three, while Columbia
kept II up at thirty-hve and Pennsyl-
vania was hitting away at thirty
three.
Entering the last half, 1t was clearly
seen by the condition OF the men ia
the three boats that there would be q
memorable struggle. At this point Cor
nell had a lead OF a quarter of q length
over Pennsylvania and COlumbia'd
stroke oar caught crab at this juno
ture and lost about four strokes, but
quickly fell In. Columbia then hit up
the stroke from the first thirty-flve
they had been rowing to faster thlr-
ty-slx. Cornell had made the lead
three-quarters of a length and was
still going when that spurt started, and
when 1t was fairly under way had a.
length advantage. Then the boat of
Columbia seemed TO fairly lift Itself out
of the water. Pennsylvania Responded
with thirty-five stroke, but the long
shell Of the New Workers fairly lifted
Itself along and went by the Pennsyl-
yanla boat and after the Cornell Shell

on 1t went. the bow tapping the rud-
der post OF the Cornell boat and creeps
inG up towards the stroke oar. Fran
tlcally the little sixteen-year-old -
vain called to thecrew, and well did tnJ
respond, but just as the nose ot the hoS
lined even with the stroke oar oflthe
Cornell crew, the two boats crossed me
line and Cornell was a winner by thIec
quarters OF a length. PennsVlyanIs

WASHINGTON, D, c., June 3o.-The
tariff on coal in tho forthcoming sched-
ule, so far as the senate is concerned,
will stand at slxty-seyen cents per ton.
without reciprocal arrangement with
Canada for FREQ exchange or diminu-
tion In rates, So much was settled by
the action taken this afternoon, Coal
was passed at that figure, and since the
house Hxed the rate at seventy-five
cents, the conference committee will not
reduce 1t below sixty-seven cents.
To Senator Ellslns's untIring efforts
this result is largely, II not altogether,
due. He has chung tenaoiously 20 the
figures agreed upon at the first conces-
sion, made after the bill passed to the
consideration of the senate, and won his
point to-day. with thirty-fiye OF the
votes cast in favor of his proposition.
The senator had to contend against
Ohio, Pennsylvania and other larger
coal producing states, besides, a ma
jorlty Of the senate finance committee.
WEST VIRGINIA BENEFITs,-Hls
generalshIp has been worth millions to
his state. If maintained for four years
only the coal schedule alone Will add
100000 to the good of West Virgin
Ia coal fields But the coal tariff is not
the only benefit which has come TO
West Vlrginla's share. The tariff on
lumber II maintained for four years
only will add SlO0OO.OOO more OF profit.
The tariff on WOOL also from the pres
ent outlook, should add materially to
the profits from that industry, and.
taken altogether, the new tariff VIII
bring renewal of prosperity In the
state all along the line.
1t is the senator's opinion that vote
Will be reached in the senate upon the
bill as whole by Saturday. II SO the
final result will be reached by not later
than July Is, probably several days
