Pearr Not Rxpeerea Back .

81. Johns, y. F.. Oct THE failure OF
the Peary exploring steamer Windward to

attempt TO get back this autumn. Prob
ably the season Just past was an open

been the case, Lieut. PeAry is likely 20
have taken The NindHard into some high

Convention at Scranton to
Consider Offer of Increase.
PROSPECTS OF PEACE BRIGHTEN
Belief General that the Operators Terms
WIN BE Accepted, Thsssh, shsaid the
Miners Insist on a sIidirs Scale aad n
Yearly Wage Contract, the Negotiations
Fears Of Trouble In Lykens Valley.

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. s-The issuing OF the
call to-day by President Mitchell. OF the
United Mine Workers OF America, for a
joint convention OF the anthracite miners
10 be held at Scranton. beginning next
Friday. for the purpose OF deciding
whether to accept CT 10 reject the 10 per
cent net increase in wages offered by
the operators. is long step in the direc-
tion OF bringing the great coal miners
strike to a close. Genuine satisfaction
was expressed to-day by both miners
and persons not directly connected with
the coal industry that the contest is ap-
preaching an end Business throughout
the entire anthracite coal field is prac-
tically at a standstiIi. and it will take
some time before normal conditions will
again prevail
1t is believed the convention will not be
a long one, as it is expected TO almost
unanimously accept the increase in
wages. There is, however, a possibility
that by the introduction OF a proposition
to abolish the sliding scale and another
to have the operators agree to a yearly
wage contract the termination of the
strike might be somewhat delayed. None
OF the operators who could be seen here
to-day would have anything to say in
regard TO the convention call Most OF
them preferred to wait and see what
action the convention will take.
Some of the local unions in various
parts of the coal field have selected their
delegates to the convention, and many
of them were in session tonight for that
purpose
President Mitchell will leave here to-
morrow morning for Shamokin, where a
labor demonstration is 10 take place in
the afternoon. On Wednesday he will go
to Scranton TO take part in a big mass
meeting and parade of miners on that
day. and will remain there until the con-
vention adjourns. Mr.. Mitchell will then
probably return to Hazleton.
