Action Of Convention Hangs on
Words Of President Mitchell.
CLOSED D 0 OR MEETINGS
Convention Held Two Sessions Yester-
day, but Adjourned Until To-Mor-
row Without Coming to All Inn
portant Question.
iBy Associated Prcss.)

HAzLETON, Pa, May 1.-THE con-
vention of the anthracite mine workers.
called at the instance of the Executive
Boards of the three districts comprising
the Pennsylvania hard coal fields, held
two sessions to-day, and. without taking
any action on the question lnauSuratlng
permanent strike, adjourned until to-
morrow morning.
The convention is meeting behind closed
doors, and although nothing official was
given out, it is known that the all-m-
portant question was not reached, the two
sessions being devoted entirely to the or
sanization of the meeting and the report
of the Committee on Credentials. Tie
day brought forth no definite informa-
ton bearing on the probable action OF
the convention, and the situation to-
night remains about the same as it has
been during the past forty-elght hours.
NO HOPE OF CONCESSIONS.
President Mitchell said that all hope
of any concessions from the operators
was gone He had had no recent COM
munication, he said, with the mine own
ers, Senator Hanna or any other menu
bers Of the National Civic Federation
Mr.. Mitchell admitted that he had some
advice to give to the delegates at the
proper time, but what it is he will not
say.
In an interview to-day he said that
there was no doubt that the sentiment OF
the men is in favor of d strike, but he
refused to make any reply when asked
if he would give advice that would come
in conflict with their sentiments.
It is admitted that what PresidenS
Mitchell suggests will be done, notwith-
standing the fact that Il majority OF the
delegates are in favor of strike If the
mine owners do not make any conces-
sions Therefore, it looks very much az
though the whole matter rests on the
words of the national president
The advice that he will give to the
miners tomorrow is known to probably
only four other persons-the three presl-
dents and National Secretary-Treasurer
w. b. Wilson, who arrived here to-day
QUIET REIGNED.
Quiet reigned everywhere in the region
to-day and not pound of coal was mined
anywhere = great crowd of mine wotE-
ers came into town from the surrounding
villages and coal patches. They crowded
around the convention hall. waiting for
information from the inside. They were
greatly disappointed when the conven-
ton adjourned this afternoon without
taking definite action.
