the Union Regarded as Imminent.
The Operators in Readiness-Con-

HAZLETON. Pa. March l3-The re-
mark made by President Mitchell in the
course Of his speech at yesterdays session
of the Mine Workers Convention to the
effect that the anthracite miners We're as
much entitled to their employers meeting
them in joint conference as were the hi
luminous miners is generally regarded as
ominous and as foreshadowing q deter
mination on the part Of this convention
10 force the issue Of recognition of
their union at all hazards.
BY recognition" the union miners
mean that as a preliminary step to fur
Their negotiations, the operators shall
come to the present convention and con-
fer with the men upon labor points in
dispute. Every operator and operating
company has been invited to appear at a
joint conference to be held on Friday, but
not one has accepted the invitation and
with but one exception. none has even
acknowledged the receipt of the invita-
ton.
1t is quite certain that more will appear
at the conference and Of this fact lead
ers of the miners are well aware What
course the convention or to speak more
correctly, Mr.. AitcheI-for he controls
the situation-wiu take If the convention
Is ignored by the operators is no longer
regarded as quite as predetermined as be
fore Mr. AiitcheHs significant Scranton
interview and his speech here yesterday.
The decision to be drawn from these.
and the general expectation here is that
the failure Of the operators to partici-
pate in a joint conference will be fol-
lowed by an ultimatum on the part of
Mr.. Mitchell that they must either do SO
or a strike VIII follow If there should
be strike. it viii be fought 70 finish

of the individual operators said some time

We cannot and viii not enter upon
negotiations with the union. for we do

What today's session of the convention
