FULL LIST OF THE DELEGATES
National President John Mitchell is Expected to Arrive This Morning.
 Miners are Willing to Treat
 Fairly With Operators.

trict No 20, United Mine Workers of Amer ica, is in session in this city with represen- tatives present from every important min ing camp in the state Before final adjourn ment, which will likely take place some time next week, a wage schedule for the next year will be signed, unles the miners and the operators fail to agree upon the price, or some other important matter. | which does not now seem at all likely. | An interesting feature of the convention will be the presence of National President John Mitchell, of Indianapolis, who is ex- pected to arrive this morning. Just what significance President Mitchells presence will have on the situation is not explained. District President Young, who is one of the most conservative men in the ranks, is confident that agreement will be ar rived at, without serious trouble, and his view of the situation is shared in by large majority of the men who represent the conservative element. Until the committee appointed to fix the wage scale for the next year makes its report there is no way of ascertaining just what demands will be upOH lHe OpeIdlOIS pul II io ilOl bC- lieved that any extreme measures will be | insisted upon. Pursuant to the call of President Young of the United Mine Workers of Alabama the convention assembled in Seals Hall at o'clock yesterday morning, but it was an hour later when the meeting was called to order. In calling the convention to order President Young stated that it was the most important that body had held in several years, and cautioned the delegates to prudence and conservatism.
