THE GREAT COAL STRIKE.
Convention Held Today at Which the Differ.
ances May Be Adjusted.

HAzELToS, Pa, Oct. S.-The issuing Of
call today by President Mitchell Of the
United Mine Workers Of America for a
convention of anthracite miners to be
held at Scranton, beginning today,
for the purpose Of deciding whether to
accept or decline the ten per cent. in
crease in wages offered by the operators,
is long stride in the direction Of bring
ing the great coal miners strike to Il
close. Genuine satisfaction wasexpress-
ed today by both miners and persons not
directly connected with the coal indus
try, that the strike was approaching the
thracite coal field is practically at a
standstill, and it will take some time be-
fore normal conditions will again prevail.
1t is believed the convention will not
be a long one. Il is expected that the
strikers will almost unanimously adopt
the advance. There is possibility that
by the introduction of a proposition to
abolish the sliding scale and another to
have the operators agree to yearly
wage contract, the termination Of the
strike might be somewhat delayed None
of the operators who could be seen here
today would have anything to say in re
gard to the convention. Most of them
preferred to wait and see what action
the company will take. Some unions in
various parts of the coal field have Sc
lectcd their delegates to the convention
and many of them were in session to-
night for that purpose. President Nit
chell will leave here tomorrow for Sham
okin, where the labor demonstration is
to 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 he
will remain there until the convention
adjourns. Mitchell will then probably
return to HaZelton.
