Advance,

Delegates Meet to Consider 10 Per Cent
Advance.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 13.-The conven-
ton of striking anthracite mine-work-
ers called by President Mitchell of the
United Mine workers for the purpose
of considering the 10 per cent net ad-
vance offered by the mine owners,
commenced in Music Hall here. In
his address opening the convention
President Mitchell said:
This is, without exception, the larg-
est labor convention which has taken
place in the industrial history of our
nation. The causes which forced you
to engage in the contest which has pre-
coded this convention are from years
of suffering so indelibly imprinted
upon your memories that it would be
waste of words to recite them here.
The story of your wrongs has been
truthfully depicted by your officers.
For the first time in many years
the operators have recognized your de-
mands for better conditions of en-
plOyment and have offered an advance
OF 10 per cent in your wages. l am
well aware that this advance is not
satisfactory to you. You have felt,
and with much justice, that definite
period of time should be named during
which this advance should remain in
force. Your experience where wages
are based on sliding scale has been
IN hot
lieve tnat the sliding scale method of
determining wages should be abol-
ished; you also believe that the laws
of Pennsylvania should be obeyed by
the coal companies, and wages be paid
twice each month, you reserving the
right of spending your earnings wher-
ever you choose. Whether it is be.
lieved at this time to insist upon a
compliance with all your demands is
a question which you who are most in.
terestcd are called upon to decide.
Personally have hoped that W,
should be able at some time to estab
lish the same method of adjustin,
wage differences as now exists in tn,
bituminous coal regions, where EN-
ployers and miners delegates meet IL
joint interstate convention, and, lik
prudent business men, mutually agre
upon a scale of wages, which remain
In force for one year, thus removin
the causes OF strikes and lockouts, an
even yet | believe that in future year
the anthracite operators will acceI
this humane and progressive metho
OF treating with their employees"
President Mitchell's address was we
received. The next order of bushes
was the appointment of the commit
tee on credentials. The committe
consists OF nine members, three froI
each Of the three districts.

ANOTHER ARREST TOFOLL0N
Ou.-of- Town SIeuth in the Insur-
ance Plot.
MRS. UNGER EXAMINES TRUNK
Brown Talks at the County jail, and
Says He Expects to he Set Free
Says There Is No Doubt About the
Death of the Girl.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-Another arrest,
that of an out-of-town operative of the
Mooney C Boland detective agency, is
| now believed to be under consideration
in connection with the Marie Defen-
bach life-insurance conspiracy and the
supposed tragedy involving her death
Aug. u at Mr.. Monahan's boarding
house, $40 LaSalle avenue. His name
has not yet been announced. In fact,
denials are made that any such arrest
is contemplated, but that Is believed
by many to be the policy of those in
terested in suppressing the course of
action pending solution of the vari-
Gus phases of the case. The informa-
ton that F. Wayland Brown, late as
slstant manager of the Chicago depart
ment of the Mooney & Boland service,
and Frank H. Smiley, an operative of
the same agency, were not it's only
employees associated with DR.. Unger
in the conspiracy comes from reliable
source.
Doctors Wife Examines the Trunk
According to the police, whose tardi-
ness served the doctor the possible en-
barrassment which a search Of the
trunk might have caused, Mrs. Unger
personally conducted the examination
OF Marie Defenbach's trunk, while it
was yet in her husbands office. She
was at the Jail Wednesday and had a
long interview with her husband, who
had turned over to her $3.50 found upon
him at the time of his arrest.
Brown Expects His Freedom.
Now the prosecution in this case
must, under the law, establish two
points at the preliminary hearing"
said Brown today, in discussing the
evidence. THE first question to be
proved is that a crime, as charged,
has really been committed. That is as
close to the point as | can put it. The
second subject to be proved is that
the defendant-and l am speaking for
myself-must be shown to be connected
with the offense charged. Should the
allegations be thus reasonably estab-
lished, the grand Jury will act, and II
true bill be found prosecution of the
case will follow.
Il want to say that if the persons
who have placed me in Jail on this
charge are fair l will walk out of here
free man. Indeed, if they are fair |
will walk out of here Oct Is, when the
preliminary hearing before Judge Glib
bons is finished.
"Sift the evidence, so-called, against
me and what do you find? Nothing. |
have been connected in this case with
persons | know absolutely nothing
about. AS | have said before there is
nothing in the case as far as | am con-
cerned that / am willing should not
have the full light of day turned upon
it. / admit that there is a tinge of
suspicion, but am not responsible for
it. Smiley, too, is all right in this
case. | do not speak for DR.. Unger."
How about the rumors that Miss
Defenbach may not be dead?"
'She is dead-no doubt about it,"
Brown answered. "a number of per-
sons identified her body and a doctor
was with her when she died"
