CONVENTION Of MINERS.
4 Conference of Strike Leaders
Practically Determine on
Calling a Convention.
WILL PROBABLY Be HELD At SCRANTON.
The Miners Must Settle for Themselves
Whether They VIII Accept Preferred
Terms OF Settlement-Some Misleading
Figures Regarding the Raise Placed In
Proper Light.

Hazleton, Pa. Oct. ga conference
which is believed to mark the begin
ming of the end of the anthracite coal
miners strike, which enters upon its
fourth week to-day, was held at the
headquarters of the United Mine
workers here yesterday afternoon.
Those present. besides President
Mitchell, were Fred Dilcher. of Ohio,
a member of the executive board, and
Presidents T. D. Nichols. of District
No. 1, Lackawanna ana Wyoming val
leys; James Duffy, District No. Z, Lee
high valley, and John Fahey, District
No. 8, %Schuylkill valley.
Although no information was given
out, it is known that the question of
issuing a call for a joint convention
was the principal matter discussed.
The coming convention will be held at
Scranton unless something unfore-
seen should arise between now and
the time of issuing the call. Besides
taking up the matter of a convention
call, it is understood hat the question
of representation was also consid-
cred. The three district presidents
made full reports as to conditions az
III - SAtoN III LIN ASSpCSbAfO oIS
tricts.
President Mitchell, after the confer,
ence, said he would have something
to say to-day in regard to the conven-
ton. If the date has been fixed only
Mr.. Mitchell and his colleagues know
it.
Of course the principal matter to
come before the miners will be the &C.
ceptance or rejection of the ten per
cent. net increase offered by most of
the operators. President Mitchell
said yesterday that not one official
of the United Mine Workers will take
a hand in any action the convention
might take, as the men must them
selves settle everything that comes
before them. How long the owen
ton will be in session depends on the
amount of business hat may be pre-
scented. The belief is general that the
miners will accept the increase. NJ
of the mine owners who have granted
the wage concession do not specify in
their notices how long the advance
shall remain in force and it is not un-
likely that an attempt will be made
by the miners in convention to open
negotiations with the operators look
ing toward an understanding in the
matter.
President Mitchell and the other Ia
Dor leaders are strong advocates of an
annual wage scale arrangement sim.-
lar to that in force in the bituminous
coal fields. The operators in those re-
gions meet their employees each year
and fix the wage scale. If this propo-
si:ion and that relating 10 the aL'.,i-
ton OF the sliding scale are brought
before the convention and negotla-
lions with the mine OWNERS are
opened. it might considers bly, delay
the settlement of the strike.
