 New Members.

The board of control of the Birmingham Board of Trade held meeting in the sec- retary's office, in the Chalifoux building, yesterday afternoon, President John w. O'Neill in the chair.
 The Hon. John w.

RICHARDSON'S PAY DATES FROM AUG. 6 He Will Get Salary from Date of
 Election. THE VOTE STOOD 10 TO 5 Members of the Judiciary Committee Did Not Draw Party Lines, But Democrats and Republicans
 Voted on Both Sides.
THE VOTE STOOD 10 TO 5

Washington, January 29.-(special.) - By the decision of the House judiciary com mittee Representative Richardson loses back pay, supposed to be due him, aggre- gating about S7153. 72. The vote by which this decision was reached was 10 to and the committee did not divide on partisan lines. The question before the committee was whether or not Representative Rich- ardson was entitled to pay from the begin ming of the term for which General Wheeler was elected and did not serve and to which Richardson was elected August ', 1900, and involved pay from March f. 1898, to August 6, 1900.
 MT Richardson did not appear before the committee to urge any claim to the back pay, but when he went to the House Ser geant-at-arms to draw pay he was told he could draw nothing until it was decided when his pay began. In order to settle that question the case went before the judici- ary committee.
 It was considered at several sessions, and finally a resolution was adopted stating that he was entitled to pay from the date of election, August 6. 1900 In other words, that section 15 of the Revised Statutes, which provides that members shall draw pay from the date of the creation of a va cancy, did not apply to his case because the majority of the committee had decided that he had never had any predecessor, General Wheeler never having assumed the duties of representative, and that his pay was to be paid under the general law, which Is that members shall draw pay from their election and get $50OO year.
 The Vote.
 Those voting against this resolution were Jenkins, Wisconsin (Republican); Littlefeld, Maine (Republican); Kahn, California (Re- pubican) Clayton, Alabama DemocraD, and Fleming, Georgia 6DemocraD. Those supporting it were Ray, New York (Republi- cam; Parker, New Jersey Republican; Overstreet, Indiana Republican); Warner, Illinois (Republcan); Kerr, Ohio (Repub- liean); Freer, West Virginia (Republcan); i; De Armond Missouri CDemocraD; Lanham, Texas DemocraD; Elliot, South Carolina DemocraD, and Smith, Kentucky Demo- craD.
 A majority report is to be printed accom- panied by several minority views. The case establishes an important precedent. An ef- fort may be made on the floor of the House to have Richardson draw from the date of General Wheeer's resignation April 13, 1900. Representative Clayton, of Alabama, says: | q do not think we will have an extra ses- sion nor that 1t is necessary. The President does not want it. It is his policy to wait on events. I do not think he has matured his Philippine policy and do not believe he will convene Congress to pass the shipping bill"
 The extra session now seems almost cer- tain. The importance of passing on the Cuban constitution is new argument for it,

THE MINE WORKERS
 DISCUSS SALARIES
Finally Determined Officers Pay
 Should Remain Same
MITCHELL MAKES A TALK
Says if it Would Deprive Any One He Did Not Want Advance-PoWer of Ordering Strike Taken
 from National Officers.

Indianapolis, Ind, January 29.-The con- stitutional amendment presented to the convention of the United Mine Workers of America today providing an increase in the salaries of the national officers provoked a long argument and resulted in the salar- les remaining as they were last year. Mem bers of the committee on constitution urged and recommended the adoption of the amendment and after along debate Presi- dent Mitchell said:
 "Gentlemen: I am not here for the pur- pose of making any grand stand play. I work for the miners because you pay me and because I like to work for you, but I am free to say that if you did not pay me I would not work. The salary paid me is very fair and if I thought the organization did not pay me as much as I deserved I would not quit, would strike.
 By all means do not let the advance ment of the individual rise above the in- terests of the United Mine Workers. If you think the raising of my salary will deprive anywoman, man or child of what they deserve, then for Gods sake do not raise it.
 Vice Pi- dent Lewis, who would have received a liberal advancement under the proposed amendment said
 If I did not think I was getting a fair salary I would strike too. Personally l think an increase in the salaries of the na- tional officers at this time would work an injury to the organization. There are peo- pie in the unorganized districtb who are always looking for an opportunity to in jure the mine workers union, and the ar gument is advanced that the officers are getting bigger salaries than the men can make in the mineS."
 The power to order a general strike or suspension of labor in the mines was taken today out of the hands of the national of. ficers, who have heretofore had absolute control in this particular. An amendment to the constitution makes it necessary to call together the district presidents to take action upon general strikes.
