United Mine Workers of the Lacka-
wanna, Wyoming, Lehigh and Schuyl-
kill anthracite coal districts, are in ses-
sion at Hazleton. The convention was
called to order on Monday by President
Mitchell, of indianapolis. He spoke at
some length on conditions in the an
thracite coal region. He said that this
was the most important gathering of
mine workers since the death of John
Siney; that the men in this region were
paid less. for their labor than those of
any other mining district; that the
price of powder was too high, and that
the system of dockage in vogue in the
anthracite mines was unjust. He told
the men to organize to have their wages
properly adjusted, secure lower rate
on powder, and have the dockage sys
TEN abolished
Among the committees appointed was
one on wage scale, composed of nine
members, three from each district.
This committee is to report on the
scale of wages, which the miners will
demand shall be paid in the three dis
tricts OF the anthracite region.
The most important business consider
ed yesterday was a resolution to the
effect that all miners be given 10 per
cent increase in wages, and all outside
employees an increase of Is per cent and
and that powder be reduced from So. rs
to $1.50 per keg; that the operators pay
their men every two weeks; that the
operators be notified of this action and
be given ten days notice to meet with
the United Mine Workers In Joint con-
vention to adjust these grievances; if at
the expiration of this time the operators
refuse, President Mitchell shall be en-
powered to call a meeting of the national
board and make another demand.
If the operators and companies do
not grant the second demand by Sep
tember 10, President Mitchell will be
authorized to close down work in the
three districts of the anthracite field at
once. The resolution was referred to
the scale committee.
OPERATORS MUST MEET.
At today's session resolution was
passed calling upon the operators to
meet in joint convention on August 81,
to consider the questions outlined in
yesterdays resolution.
