President Ed Flynn will preside. It Is beIipved that the convention will last ten or twelve days. Its sessions will be opened except when the scale Is be- Ing discussed. On the 24th inst. a con- ference win be held between the miners and the operators, and an enort VIII be made to reconcile whatever dtmer- outlook for a speedy adjustment of the wnRe question is not as favorable as 1t was some time ago. The operators say that the coal trade is exceedingly dull, and they are apparently not disposed to R0 beyond the old scale in any par tirular lf, indeed, they are willing to re- new the old contract. The miners are very reticent, but 1t is understood that they desire a shorter working day, a two weeks payday and some other concessions. On the vital point or whether they will demand higher wage or not, all the leaders are dumb. It is believed by some who are in close touch with the miners that they will demand . higher minimum on the slid znR scale Arrangement, but will not in sisk upon d higher maximum, The present minimum is 45 cents per ton when pig iron Is selling below $l0. whkln the maximum is 50 cents. The wage scale now in force expires on the night of June 30th, two weeks from next Monday, so that that period of kima Is given in which to bring about a settlement.

have been on fire ever since, smoke and
steam Continually issuing from the
ground. and at places there were slight
falls where the pillars had been burned
through and allowed the surface 10 sink
