They have at the KuSSeli StaOieS IN
lPittsfield, Mass, horse which was
purchased from Ex-senator Dawes and
is used on the baggage wagon running
from the hotel to the depot.s
One morning this spring the old
horse was taken out of the stable and
on the way to the depot she slipped on
the ice and fell. Again during the
morning hours about town the horse
slipped ON the ice. At noon the horse
xss unhftched and sent into her stall
for her midday meal.
She is never hitched, and when the
men looked for her to mike the one
o'clock trip to the station she was no
where to be found. They searched the
stable and streets, and finally went to
Ex-senator Dawes house, but the old
mare was not to be found.
Toward three o'clock, however, she
appeared at the stable, trotting in
briskly, and, looking around, went
int her stall. @tAs fttsE
J It was discovered that she had been
newly shod, and the employees made
inquiry at the blacksmith shop and
learned that the horse had arrived

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 14.-Eight hun
dred 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
more. than three weeks, met here for
the purpose Of considering the ten
per cent net increase In wages Of
fered by the operators and adjourned
until to-day without taking any &C.
ton on their employers proposition.
Both of the sessions were devoted to
organizing the convention and
speeches by many OF the delegates on
the mine owners concession. 1t was
not expected anything would be done
the first day outside of general ex-
preston of views. The convention,
after it was permanently organized,
went into secret session, but 1t was
learned from authoritative sources
that nothing of a general nature was
submitted that would lead to the So
luton of what was to the miners
knotty problem. From a number of
delegates it was gathered that the 10
per cent proposition as 1t now stands
has very little chance of being accept
learned, to be almost unanimous that
the operators should first make con-
cessions in the other grievances be-
fore the increase is accepted by the
mineworkers. Great stress was laid
on the necessity OF abolishing the slid
ing scale and substituting therefor
tonnage basis on which to fix the rate
of wages. The proposition of having
the operators guarantee a fixed time
for paying the advance was also
Thoroughly Discussed,
while not few delegates said they
would be satisfied with nothing but
a more liberal increase in wages. The
mode of procedure is a matter which
is now occupying the attention OF the
labor leaders. In case the convention
comes TO a definite understanding on
some proposition the question has
been ASKED how the operators will be
advised in view of the fact that the
latter have repeatedly said they
would not recognize the union. Pres
ident Mitchell would not discuss that
phase Of the question and none of the
other labor leaders will venture an
opinion. That the present convention
will not come to definite conclusion
is the general opinion. 1t is the opin-
ion of several leaders that the con-
vention as at present constituted Is a
little unwieldy. There was move
ment on foot having for its object the
submission of the various propositions
as they are suggested by the delegates
to committee appointed by the con-
vention for consideration, this COM
mittee to report to either this sor a
second convention. This movement,
however, did not gain much of start.
Some of the delegates think that the
whole subject should be left In the
hands of the national officers, as
limited a. by President Mitchell in his
brief remarks just before the conven-
ton went into secret session. Mr.
Mitchell is very popular among the
miners as was shown by the en-
thusiasm displayed as he delivered
his opening address.
