PLAN 10 RAISE the MONEY
RATE OF ASSESSMENT WILL BE 10
FER CENT OR EVEN
HIGHER.
REFERRED TO a COMMITTEE
HIGH OFFICERS CONSIDER RECON-
MENDATIONs OF THE
PRESIDENT.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 10. = At the
conclusion of a secret session which
lasted the entire afternoon the recon-
mendations of President Mitchell for
the management of the anthracite
strike were referred to a special COM
mittee which is to report back to the
convention when it meets to-day. This
committee consists of President Mitch
ell, Vice President Lewis, Secretary
Wilson and the president of each dis
trict which is taking part in the con-
vention. There is little doubt that
the committee will urge the adoption Of
the recommendations and fixing the
rate of assessment at 10 per cent or
higher.
At the opening of the executive ses
sion Vice President Lewis took the floor
and delivered an energetic speech on
the amendment offered by Delegate
Haskins in the morning to the effect
that the
Fund to Be Raised
for the aid of the anthracite miners be
extended to all of the striking miners
where their strike has been sanctioned
by the general organization. President
Mitchell then took the floor to speak for
the adoption Of the recommendation
made in his speech of Thursday. He
told the convention that the strikes in
West Virginia and elsewhere were be-
ing protected by the organization by
the assessments of the union, but the
assessments which We're under discus
sion were not necessary for the sup
port of the anthracite strike alone,
and should not be diverted from its
purpose.
A vote was then taken on the Has
lSins amendment and it was voted down
by a decisive majority. This left be-
fore the convention the original motion
for the adoption of the recommended
t.ons of the president. A number of
amendments were then offered, all re-
lating to the manner in which the
Agreement Should Be Made.
These were all pending when Secretary
Wilson offered an amendment that the
matter be referred to committee made
up of the three highest officers of the
r ational organization and the presi-
dents of districts represented in the
convention. This prevailed and an adj
journment was taken until to-day. At
the conclusion of the session Secretary
Wilson said:
at will cost 100000 weekly to sup
port all the men now on strike in the
various districts. An assessment Of
81 per week will bring in s250,000
week. This will leave us s250000 to
raise each week from outside sources,
and from the promises and offers that
have been made us we are confident
that we will be able to do this
Another Strike Threatened.

held at that time to take action on the
refusal of four railroads to reinstate all

London, July 1S.--The British Medi-

solute and emphatic denial to the ru-

sional MALAY. We are authorized to
state that his majesty has not sign or
suspicion of any malignant disease in
any part of his body"
The Lancet says: 1.-The kings condi-
ton is eminentiy satisfactory. The
wound is filing up surely, if slowly.
The freedom from state cares and So
cial duties, together with the enforced
rest in bed, has had a most beneficial
effect. His majesty looks better now
than for some years."

Shorts Eject n Private Settlement

Chicago, July 17.-Gates has closed
out his corn deal on the Chicago board
OF trade. Samuel Scotch, the managing
partner of the firm of Gates, Harris G.
Co., made this admission early yester-
day afternoon. He stated that settle-
nents having been made by the shorts,
! the deal was closed as far as the New
Workers were concerned, and closed in
manner highly satisfactory to the
men who ran it. The withdrawal of
the support by the Gates contingent
explains the slump in the price of the

realize high prices, have been left as

Chicago, July 10. A phenomenon

found the water tapping at their door,

waves swept up against breakwaters

Gated sud len high pressure followed
by an equally sudden drop. A wave of
heavy atmospheric pressure passed
over the city, and as it struck the lake,
moving from west to east, the water
was pushed back. With the pressure
released the waves came rushing back
and dashed up over the land and then
"eceded to the normal water line.
