BIG REGISTRATION IN NEW YORK.
New York, October 13.-Returns from
all sections OF Greater New ork on yes
terday, the first day OF registration, pre-
l1m1nary to the presidential election are
coming in slowly. Enough is known to
warrant the prediction that the registra-
tion for the first day Will exceed the reg
istration on the corresponding day four
years ago. The returns are hardly de-
tailed enough, however, to determine
whether the ratio of increase is greatest
in Republican wards or Democratic
wards From the fact there had been an
increase, without waiting to learn the
sections Of the city where the gains are
most pronounced, both parties naturally
drew dlametricalIy opposite conclusions.

Men Want Other Griev-
ances Attended To.
Intense Desire To Have Union
Recognized.

Scranton, October 12.-Eight hundred
and fifty seven miners who hold in their
hands the power to end or continue the
anthracite coal miners strike which has
been in progress for more than three
weeks, met in convention here today for
the purpose of considering the ten per
cent net advances in wages offered by the
operators and adjourned until tomorrow
without taking any action On their en-
ployers' proposition. Both of today's ses-
sions were devoted to organizing the con-
vention and to speeches by many OF the
delegates on the mine owners conces-
sions. The convention after it was per-
manently organized, went Into secret ses-
sion, but it was learned from authorita-
tive sources that aothing Of definite na-
ture was suggested which would lead to
solution of what is, to the miners, a
knotty problem.
From the trend OF the remarks of the
delegates it was gathered that the ten per
cent proposition as it now stands has
very little chance of being accepted. The
delegates seemed, it was learned, to be al
most unanimous that the operators
shopld first make concessions in the other
grievances before the increase is accepted
by the mine workers. Great str ess was
laid on the necessity OF abolishing the
sliding scale and substituting therefor a
tonnage basis on which to fix the rate
of wages. The proposition to have the
operators guarantee liked time ror. pay
ing the advance was also thoroughly dis
cussed.
Many delegates said they would be
satisfied with nothing but more liberal
increase in wages. In case the conven-
tion comes to definite understanding on
some proposition, the question has been
asked how the operators VIII be advised,
in view of the fact that the latter have
repeatedly said they would not recognize
the union. President Mitchell will not
discuss tnat phase of the question and
none of the other labor leaders viii ven
ture an opinion.
The present convention will not come
to definite conclusion is the general be-
lief tonight 1t is the opinion of several
of the labor leaders that the convention
as at present constituted Is a little un-
weildy, Some of the delegates think that
the whole subject should be left in the
hands OF the national officers. This was
limited at by President Mitchell In his
brief remarks just before the convention
went into secret session.
The convention went Into executive
session at three O'Clock. The question of
accepting the operators proposition of
an advance was discussed during the
whole session and the opposition to the
proposition OF the operators appeared to
be unanimous. There appeared also to
be intense desire to have the organization
officially recognized.
No motions were adopted bearing on
the wage scale. The convention ad-
journed to meet at nine o'clock tomorrow
morn ing.
