THE UNITED MINE WORKERS.
The Call for the next Annual Convention
Issued Yesterday Several Important

PITTSBURG, Pa, December 22-The
call for the Tenth annual convention of
the United Mine Workers to be held in
this city in January has been issued by
the national officers.
1t contains the nominations made for
the national offices, as follows:
For President-John Mitchell, 1ndianap-
oils, Ind; Patrick Dolan, Pittsburg; T. L.
Coalburg, W. Va
Vice Jresident-T. w. Davis, Indianap-
oils Ind H. Al Bradley, Strunks, KY;

i lakewood, Ill: Patrick McBryde, Column
| bus o.; W. c. Webb, Pittsburg. Ky; F.
| NJ Dunn, Powderly, Ky.
! Secretary Treasurer-W. @. Pearce. In
| dianapolis, Ind; John Fahey, PottsVille,
! Pa.
There are sixty nominations for mem
| bership on the executive board and thirty
| two for delegates to the American FEEDER
| alton of Labor convention. John Fahey,
of Pottsville. Pa, is a candidate for ev-
| cry office except that of president.
| Among the important questions to be
discussed is the eight hour system which
has been in operation since the first of
| last April. This system has proven such
| a good thing for the miners that there is
| little doubt but that they will make a
strong effort to have it renewed at the
| joint convention which is to follow. An
other important matter which the con-
vention will have to determine will be the
policy to pursue in regard to demanding
an increase of wages at the joint conven-
ton. The miners officials refuse to dis
| cuss the matter at present, and will give
| no idea of what they will advise the
miners to do
After the close of the national conven-
tion the joint convention of miners and
operators will convene. At this conven-
ton the wage scale for the ensuing fiscal
year, commencing April l, will be settled
and an interesting time is expected. The
convention will meet here on January 9Th.

Gen. Corbin then volunteered to sup

Gen. Corbin hesitated, and then
slowly responded: 'It should be IN

inspect the camps of soldiers and re-
port their condition"
Col. DENLY: Are the duties of his
subordinates the same?'
Gen. Corbin: Yes, sir Their re-
ports are forwarded to the Adjutant
General, who transmits them to the
Secretary of War for his information. y
Col DENLY: How does it happen
then, that the condition at Chicka-

Col. DENLY: There has been talk
that the efficiency of the inspector

Gen. Corbin: 81 think that is largely
an error There was no interference.
He said he knew of no contracts
during the war that were influenced by
anything that was not entirely honest
and fair to the government, and that
there was no instance of favOritlsm IN
making appointments.
"How do you account" asked Gen.
Dodge, for all these complaints
against the various departments?'
