COAL MINERS MEET.



Anthracite Worker. In Convention
at ShanOkin, PA.
| SHAMOKIN. Pa, March 19.-Tfs
most important convention of hard
coal miners since that which resulted
in the memorable strike of 1890 has
begun here and Is likely to remain in
session until Saturday. The three an
thracite coal districts. known tech
nically as Districts !. and .. United
Mine Workers of America, are repre-
scented by over 600 delegates, the ma
jority of whom presented their ere
dentias. The delegations from Scran-
ton and wyoming regions We're late
in arriving, and the convention was
in tn" afternoon.
President John Mitchell arrived
from Altoona shortly before II O'Clock
? and was met at the station by Iresi-
dent John Faliev and Secretary George
Hartein of District No. o. He was
not accompanied by Secretary Treas
urer Wilson. the latter having gone to
Huntingdon, w. Va, to preside over
convention of the bituminous coal
miners.
President Mitchell has entirely re-
covered from the indispositon which
overlook him in the west. The failure
of the operators to meet the officials
Of the miners union was the principal
topic of discussion among the dele
gates prior to the convention. Many
of them are insistent in their demand
for recognition of the union, but the
impression prevails that If other con-
cessions are made by the operators the
matter of recognition will be permit
ted to rest for the present. Ralph NJ.
Easley of New York, secretary of the
Civic federation, who came here yes
terday. held n brief consultation with
President Mitchell and left shortly
afterward for New York. Mr.. Easley
and Mr.. Mitchell both said the inter-
view had no bearing on the situation
In the anthracite region. The two are
members of the cancellation committee
of the Civic federation, and Mr..
Mitchell asserted that the consultation !
related to the Boston freight carriers
strike. The convention merely Organ-
lied, and the proceedings were simply |
to the more important |
work to follow.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

DEN EN-, COlo,, july y. lJbZ.
The past week has been unusually
cool, except In the extreme southeast
ern counties. The mean tempera-
'ures show an average daily defiei-
& lcy of I degrees on the western slope
and in the north-centra counties and
> degrees in the south-central and
Hortheastern parts of the state. Cool
nights have been the feature of the
latter half of the week. with frost in
parts of San Luis Park and in more
northerly sections OF greater altitude.
Snow has fallen along the Continental
Divide and moderately heavy showers
ave occurred over areas in the north.
ern half of the state. In southern
districts, especially in San Luis Park
and the Arkansas valley. the week has
been dry. Although rather cool for
corn, the temperature conditions on
the whole have not been favorable
Improvements is generally noted in
the districts favored by showers, but
in the southern counties the situation
is still discouraging Harvesting OF
winter wheat is in progress east OF
the mountains and in the western
counties; rye and barley are heading
N the north-central section. Pota.
toes. beets and gardens have made
fair advancement. The first crop OF
alfalfa is going into stack slowly
Pasturage is reported as very fine in
the north-central counties and much
improved in northwestern districts
elsewhere the ranges are still In fairly
good condition. In parts of the east
ern slope damage by grasshoppers con
tinues. The water supply is still in
adequate, though recent rain and
snowstorms in the mountains will
probably cause some Improvement.
