WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON, October 24.-The Ameri-
can Wool and Cotton Reporter will
say OF the wool trade tomorrow:
Trade has continued to improve and
the business done is Of more salts
factory character. That is to say,
holders of wool do not find it necessary
to offer so many special inducements
to intending purchasers. 1t is easier
for them to get asing prices than 1t
was month ago. The sales of the
wee aggregate over 1900, 900 pounds,
and this total would have been consid-
erably increased il holders had con-
sented to accept all offers made by
consumers. The trade feels that the
downward tendency has been arrested
and basis has been established on
which a good business can be done
when the demand shall increase. The
market is, in fact, firmer. The London
sales continue along on the basis of the
opening prices except for inferior
merinos, which are weaker, but there
is very little wool being offered suit
able for America, and the purchases for
the latter, therefore, have thus far
been of very moderate volume. Of
fers for wool sent from this side at
prices currently quoted at the opening
have in several instances failed to Sc
cure the wool. In the wsst the situa-
ton is as firm as ever and the holders
are determined not to part wits their
wool until after election. The sales OF
the week In Boston amounted to 1885,
600 pounds, against total OF 1914 800
for the previous week, and total OF
10,017, 200 for the corresponding week
last year. The sales since January
amount to 107, 595,S00 pounds against
249 045, 800 pounds for the correspond
ing time last year.

ACCEPT OR ARBITRATE.
Convention Would Accept With
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Offer.
NO WORK UNTIL SETTLED,

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 16.-The anthra-
cite coal m ners now on strike decided
to accept the 10 per cent net increase
in wages offered by the mine owners,
providing they will continue the pay
ment of the advance until next April,
and will abolish the sliding scale. IF
the operators consider the proposition
unacceptable, the miners are willing
to arbitrate the questions at issue.
They also decided to continue the
strike until the operators agree to the
conventions proposition.
The action taken was by the adop-
ton of resolutions reported by a COM
mittee, which contain the following:
THAT this convention accept an ed-
vance of 10 per cent, providing the
operators will continue its payment
until April /, 1901, and will abolish the
sliding scale in the Lehigh and Schuy1-
kill regions: the scale of wages in the
two last named districts to remain
stationary at 10 per cent above the
present price basis; and that the COM
panies will agree to adjust other
grievances complained of with COM
mittees of their own employees.
"Should this proposition be unac-
ceptible to the operators we recon-
mend that the convention propose that
all questions at issue be submitted to a
fair and impartial board of arbitra-
ton.
1--WE would further recommend that
under no circumstances whatever
should there be resumption OF work
at any of the collieries until the opera
tors signify their acceptance of this
proposition and you are notified Off
cially that the strike is ended and al
return to work in b body on the same
day."

THE MINERS CONVENTION.
Organization Perfected, Followed
by Address by Mitchell.
GoMPERs SENDS ASSURANCE.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 15.-The miners
convention, with S57 delegates in at
tendance, met to consider the 10 per
cent net advance in wages offered by
the operators, spent most of the first
days session in organization.
A short secret session was held after
organization was completed but it is
learned that nothing of definite ma
ture was even suggested, which might
lead TO a solution of the matter in
hand.
From the trend of the remarks of the
delegates it was gathered that the 10
per cent proposition as it now stands
has very little chance of being accept
ed The delegates seemed, it was
learned, almost unanimous that the
operators should first make concessions
in the other grievances before the in
crease is accepted by the mine workers.
Great stress was laid on the necessity
of abolishing the sliding scale and sub
stituting therefor tonnage basis on
which to fix the rate of wages. The
proposition of having the operators
guarantee fixed time for paying the
advance was also thoroughly discussed,
while not a few delegates said they
would be satisfied with nothing but a
liberal increase in wages. The mode
of procedure was much discussed. At
the close of the session the opinion
prevailed that no definite conclusion
- = Il
gates think that the whole subject
| should be left in the hands of the ma
tional officers, as limited at by Presi.
dent Mitchell in his brief remarks Just
before the convention went into secret
session Mr.. Mitchell is very popular
among the miners, as was shown by
the enthusiasm displayed as he deliv
cred his opening address.
A telegram from Samuel Gomperl
was read which assured the sinceres
sympathy and cooperation of every
union member and officer of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
President Mitchell concluded thirt
address with: IF you legislate wisely
you will have bright future befor'
you; on the other hand, a mistake
made now means a continuation of thu
conditions which have prevailed here
for many years 1 hope that you mel
will do your duty. No man wants t.
be carried away with enthusiasm. You

question because it is popular to SO 81

individual operators especially are
opposed to tieing themselves up TO any
agreement. One operator said the only
way the strike can be settled is for the
strikers to accept the 10 per cent with
out any provisions
