CONVENTION IS CALLED.
President Mitchell Issues Sum-
mons for Delegates to Meet
Friday at Scranton.
SESSIONS WILL PROBABLY Be SECRET.
VIII he Presided over by MITCHELL
Feeling of Relief at Prospect of
Early settlement of Miners strike
considered That the Miners Have
Achieved q Great Victory.

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-President
Mitchell issued his call Monday for
the -talked-of miners conven
ton to consider the operators offer
Of ten per cent. increase in wages.
The convention will be held at Scran-
ton, and will open on Friday next.
Representation in the convention will
be on the basis of one delegate with
one vote for each 100 persons on
strike. 1t is the general expectation
that the decision of the convention
will be TO accept the increase and re-
turn to work.
Quietness prevailed throughout the
anthracite regions Monday, the call
for the convention being generally &C
cepted as a signal for cessation of hos
tilities all around. There were many
expressions of satisfaction by miners
and operators and by merchants and
others in the mining section over the
prospects of an early settlement of
the troubles. Monday completed the
third week since the strike officially
went into effect.
An Important Step.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 9.-The issuing of
the call by President Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers of America, for
a joint convention of the anthracite
miners, 10 be held at Scranton, begin
ming next Friday, for the purpose Of
deciding whether 10 accept or TO re ject
the ten per cent. net increase in wages
offered by the operators, is a long
stride in the direction of bringing the
great coal miners strike TO a close.
Genuine satisfaction was expressed by
both miners and persons not directly
connected with the coal industry that
the contest is approaching an end.
Business throughout the entire anthra-
cite coal field is practically at a stand
still, and it will take some time before
normal conditions will again prevail.
VIII Probably Accept.
II is believed the convention will not
be long one, as ii is expected the strik-
ers will almost unanimously accept the
advance in wages. There is. however,
a possibility that by the introduction
OF a proposition 10 abolish the sliding
scale and another 70 have the operators
agree to yearly wage contract the ter
mination of the strike might be some
what delayed. None Of the operators
who could be seen here would have any
thing to say in regard to the conven-
ton call. Most Of them preferred to
wait and see what action the conven-
tion will take.
