 trial Independence.

Leeds. England. October 2O.-The tenth annual convention of the labor association opened here today. The delegates represented 400, 900 worknen. President John Chandler made a viru- lent attack on trades unionism He claimed that the growth of industrial freedom greatly tended toward the diminution of strikes, and he declared that trades union excesses in the vio- lation of personal freedom was a dis grace to labor in this country Noth- ing could more forcibly illustrate the intolerance which perverted trades unionism than the statement said to have been made to Rev. Charles Ed wards, Pennsylvania clergyman some time ago by a non-unionist that the striking coal miners had threatened to cut off the ears of every man return ing to work.
 If the British trades unionists do net sympathize with these abominable atrocities, the speaker added, why do they vote one thousand pounds sterling in aid of the strikers of America who made such an infamous threat?"

 There were e62 delegates present in the Nesbitt theater, where the eonven- ton was held, and they were empow- cred by their local unions to cast SGT votes for or against President Rcose- velt's proposed plan of arbitration.

The question of engineers, firemen and pumpmen proved the only stumbling block in the way of an almost imne- diate adoption of the presidents plan. which carries with it the declaring of the strike off and a general resumption of work throughout the l75-mile strip of hard coal mining region.
 At one time tC1ay it seemed certain that the convention was about to adopt the recommendation O; President Mitchell to end the strike, but the steam mems plea was too earnest and the final vote went over until tomor- row, when it is next to certain that vcte t9 declare the strike of viii show a big majority for it. The leaders of the strikers, except MT. Mitchell, were hardly heard at all in the convention today. the anxious engineers being al- lowed to give full expression to their feelings. But tomorrow it is predicted that the leaders will be heard. and one of them, a high district officer, said today that there would not be more than fifteen votes recorded against the plan which the president of the United States has proposed to them, and which all of the highest officials of the lAine workers of this region have earnestly recommended
