A CRISIS MAY BE NEAR.
The Coal Strikers Are Awaiting :he
Action of the Convention to Be
Held at Indianapolis.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 13.-The
tenth week of the great anthracite
miners strike may witness the crisis
Everything nov depends upon the ma
tional convention which meets at In
.dianapolis on Thursday. If the CON
vention votes solid support to the
hard coal miners nov on strike the
conflict with the operators may be
prolonged indefinitely. On the other
hand, should substantial support not
be forthcoming, it may have a dis
c%ouraging effect on the strikers, and
the operators, taking advantage OF
it, may attempt to resume operations
at some of the collieries. This is the
consensus of opinion as expressed in
operators and strike circles. No eff
fort will be made by any of the large
coal companies to start up any of
their mines this week. Indianapolis
must speak first before any move ia
made in that direction.
Many of the local assemblies OF
United Mine Workers of District No.
1 held meetings to-day to give final
Instructions to their delegates who
will represent them in the national
convention. just what the instruc-
tons are is not known. 1t is expect
ed, however, that all the delegates
from the anthracite region will vote
as a unit in the convention.
Sheriff Jacobs reports that the
whole region is unusually quiet.

WILL VOTE AGAINST STRIKE.
The United Mine Workers of Illinois
Are Said to BE Opposed to a
nera Strike.

Springfield, ILL.,, July 13.-The Unit
vote for a general strike at the ma
tional convention to be held at In.
dianapolis this week. Without the
votes of the Illinois delegates, it is
said, it will be impossible to call out
the soft coal men.
The attitude of the Illinois miners
was made evident Saturday when the
returns from the various districts OF
the state were received at general
headquarters. Out of all the unions
in the state only one, and this an in
consequential local, instructed its
delegates to the national convention
to vote for a strike.
