WANT OLD PLACES.
The Knotty Point for Today's
Miners Convention.
Expected That Men viii Vote to En-

But May Fight to Secure All Their
Old Jobs.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. Oct 19.-Delegates
to the anthracite mine workers cOnven-
tion which will meet in the Nesbitt
theatre. this city, at 10 o'clock tomor-
row forenoon. for the purpose of ac-
cepting or rejecting the proposition of
President Roosevelt to end the strike
and submit all grievances to the arbi-
tration commission appointed by him,
began arriving here. today, and about
| one-quarter OF the 200 or 800 delegates
to the convention are now in the city.
Many of the delegates are instructed
in various features of the settlement,
| but a majority of them will follow the
advice and judgment of President
| Mitchell.
There is nothing on the surface. to-
night. that gives the slightest indica-
ton that 0the convention will not vote
to send the men to work, this week,
with the probability still in favor of
Thursday as the day of resumption. 1t
was quite evident to observers that
they were glad to get together and de-
eide 20 return to work after the weary
idleness of more than five months.
AS already stated in these dispatches
the principal question outside of the
great question of accepting or reject
ing President Roosevelt's proposition
will be that of the strikers getting their
old places. A large number of the men
fear that in the general rush to return
to the mines some of them may fail to
get work. They want some assurance
from the convention that they will be
able to get the positions they occupied
before the suspension was ordered. 1t
is likely that this element from the
three districts will join forces and
make a concerted fight on the floor of
the convention for some specific ac-
ton.
In the face of the fact that the op-
orators are on record that they will not
dismiss one man who stood by them
; during the struggle, it is going to be
a serious problem to solve. The debate.
it is believed. will take up great deal
of the time of the convention, which is
expected to last not more than two
days.
The meeting in all likelihood will be
held behind closed doors after formal
organization is affected. President
Mitchell will be elected chairman and
during the first session in an opening
speech to the delegates he VIII lay
| the plan of arbitration submitted Dy
the President of the United States be-
| fore them for action. He will recon-
! mend that it be accepted and the men
! return to work as quickly as the coal
| companies can provide work. National
Secretary w. B. Wilson will be selected
| as secretary and he will have as as
sistants the district secretaries.
The military camp in west Sioe
mark across the Susquehanna rive.
from this city. again attracted a large
Sunday crowd. There were no reports
of violence at the generals headquar
ters from any part of the region affect-
ed by the strike.
President Mitchell had many callers
