 Talking on the silver question ne said:
 "While India has suspended the coin age of silver, she still uses silver as her money and England coins a large num- Der of rupees annually for lndias needs. If Mexico were to adopt the gold stand ard it would naturally reduce still fur ther the price of silver and if Mexico in spite of being a large producer of silver were to discard that metal as the stand ard money 1t is not improbable that h. dia and China might be led by the same influence to do the same thing While this is only speculation 1t Is possibility that must be considered; an addition of seven hundred million of people to the present gold-using population of the world would cause an enormous demand for gold over and above the present demand. No one can estimate accurately the effect of such a demand on the purchasing pow CT of gold but 1t could hardly fail to materially reduce prices and enhance tho value of money and fixed Investments

MINERS LEADERS PAY
EFFORT TO RAISE SALARIES OF
 OFFICERS.
The Men Expect That the Operators Will Grant Them an Increase Also-Convention Will
 Be Large.

Indianapolis. Dec. 26.-It is probable that at the coming convention of the United Mine Workers of America a move- ment will be inaugurated to increase the salariGs Of President Mttchei and SecFe- tary Wilson. At present MT. Mitchell receives $1, 800 a year. while MT. Wilson's 8 compensation is $1,500. During the strike both of these men, with the other officers contributed 25 per cent of their wages to the strike fund. The friends of the officers will ask that the salaries be raised.
 The miners are looking forward to securing an increase in pay for them selves inasmuch as they claim the opera tors have had a successful season and they want to share the profits. The Mine Workers Journal. the organ of the organization, takes it for granted that an increase will be allowed. The only speculation is sees is as to the exact in- crease to be determined upon.
 The credentials and auditing committee of the mine workers will meet here again Monday to begin the canvass of the vote of the locals for the national officials and tho credentials of the delegates to the annual wage conference to be held here in January and February. The polls in the election of officers will be closed Wednes- day and the credentials of all delegates must be received at the national head quarters here by January 9.
 Tho wage conference will break all records for labor conventions. Last year there were about 1000 delegates repre- sentlng a membership of nearly 350,000. It is expected there will be over l. 200 dele gates to the coming convention as the organization has had a great growth.
