has been authorized by the exposition
directnrs to sign contract with the
Secretary OF the Treasury, in which
the Worlds Fairmanagement pledges

pany to comply with the section in the
federal act appropriating five million
dollars, which states that a condition
of the payment Of the amount was that
the company execute contract. The
Secretary notified the company that

Go Out and Serious Trouble is
Feared.

Pittsburg, Kansas, June ia strike
is on at the mines of the Great West
ern Coal Company at Fuller. A
meeting was held last night and a
strike order issued by the executive
board of the U. M. w. A. this morn
ing. Non-union men endeavored to
go to- work but we're overpowered by
the strikers, blows we're struck but no
one was seriously injured. A number
of non-union men have been
shipped in but they will not likely go
without opposition from the strikers.
The company has asked for deputy
United States marshals and expects
to open the mines again even If fight
is necessary. The conference is no
nearer a settlement than week ago
and general strike is now expected
any time unless the situation changes
soon.

of Congress before taking it up. The
friends of the bill say nine Republi-

Postmaster General Payne had his first

Shamokin, Pa, March 23.-From an
official source it was learned to-day
that an effort will be made tomorrow
to adjourn the joint convention of dis
tricts Nos. l, and 9, United Mine
Workers of America, without commit
ting the delegates to a strike declara-
ton.
At a meeting, which began at II
o'clock last night and continued until
early this morning. the special COM
mittee appointed on Saturday formu-
lated a resolution which the leaders
hope will satisfy both radical and con-
sentative delegates. The committee,
which consists of President Mitchell,
District Presidents Nichols Fahy and
Duffy and the three district vice presi-
dents, held another session tonight.
The report of the committee will
take the form of resolution, the
principal clause of which, it is au-
thoritatiVely stated, will recommend
the appointment of committee to
present to the operators the demands
of the convention. Incorporated in the
report are a number of resolutions
adopted during the week in addition to
those made public by President Mitch
ell. All of these resolutions, it is stat
ed, contain a strike declaration effect
i've April l, but they were made sub
ject to the resolution of the special
committees report, which so far as
could be learned. does not declare for
strike. All of the demands made in
the scale committee report are also
embodied in the resolution. but the
statement is made that only two of
these-an eight-hour working day and
the weighing of coal wherever prac-
ticable-will be insisted on If the con-
Vention adopts the resolution. Should
the report prove satisfactory the con-
vention is expected to select a COM
mittee composed of others than Of
hcers of the union.
In the event of the operators refus-
ing to recognize the committee it is
within the province of the district
presidents to declare strike after re-
ceiving the sanction of the national
executive board When asked tonight
if the above statements We're correct,
President Mitchell did not deny them,
but declined to discuss the subject. The
entire matter now rests with the dele
gates, and it is possible the convention
may not approve the resolutions.
