Miners Are to Meet On Friday TO
Consider the Proposals of
the Operators.
PLACE OF MEETING is SCRANTON.
General Belief Is That the Gathering
Will End the Strike and
Accept the Offer.

Philadelphia, Oct. 8. - President
Mitchell issued his call yesterday for
the much-talked-of miners convention
to consider the operators offer of
10 per cent. increase in wages. The
convention will be held at Scranton,
and will open on Friday next. Repre-
Sentation 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 de
cisioH of the convention will be to &C
cept the increase and return to work.
Quietness prevailed throughout the an
thracite regions yesterday, the call for
the convention being generally accept
ed as signal for cessation of HOSTILE
ties all around. There We're many eX
pressionS of satisfaction by miners and
operators and by merchants and 9th
ers in the mining section yesterday
over the prospects Of an early settle
ment of the troubles.

Music hall, theatre adjoining the
district headquarters, and capable of
seating 1000 people, has been secured
Headquarters will be at the st. Charles
hotel, block and half away. Presi-
dent Mitchell and his staff will go to
Scranton tonight or early tomorrow
morning, and the probabilities are that
the headquarters will be maintained in
Scranton until the strike is over, as it
is the metropolis of the anthracite
region. The big demonstration at
Scranton tomorrow afternoon being
concluded. the work of arranging the
preliminarieS of the convention viii be
attacked. 1t is generally believed that
a complete programme will be mapped
out at a conference on Thursday, and
that this programme will be followed
at the convention the following day.
Miners Expected to Accept the Raise.
The general feeling at Scranton is
that the 10 per cent. offer will be ac-
cepted as it stands, and that the mat
ter of substituting a fixed scale for a
sliding scale in the lower districts
will be left to the affected miners
themselves to settle when they come
to treat with their respective employ
ers under the provision of the offer
guaranteeing adjustment of any griev-
ances the employees may present. The
matter of yearly conferences to fix a
new scale may also be dealt With In
the same manner, each set of employees
sending committee to their employer
and then reporting back to a conven
ton conducted under the auspices OF
the United Mine Workers.

George L. Barnes, auditors clerk at

box of cartridges, and Johnson said
he would take the cartridges as they
fitted the gun. Lieutenant John Rick

story about Youtsey, telling him in the
agricultural office that the only way
to settle the contest was to put Mr..
fGoebel out of the way; that he (Iout-
