SENTIMENT FAVOAS STRIKE
Final Action is Expected at
Hazleton Today.
MITCHELL MAYpEcipE QUESTION

Labor Leader Says All Hope Of Con-
eessions Is Gone and He VIII Ad.
wise Delegates at Proper Time II II
Becomes Necessary.
Hazleton, Pa, May 15.-The conven.
tion Of the anthracite mine workers
held two sessions in the opera house
here yesterday, and without taking
any action on the question of inau-
gurating permanent strike, ad.
journed until morning. About 700
delegates are in attendance. The con-
vention is meeting behind closed
doors and although nothing official is
given out, 1t is known that the all
important question was not reached,
the two sessions being devoted entire.
ly to the organization Of the meeting
and the report of the committee on
credentials. President Mitchell was
made chairman of the convention.
The day brought forth no definite
information bearing on the probable
action of the convention and the stu.
alton remains about the same as it
has been during the past 4S hours.
President Mitchell said that all hope
of any concessions from the operators
was gone. He has had no recent com.
munication, he said, with the mine
owners, Senator Hanna or any other
member of the National Civic FEEDER
alton. He admitted that he had some
advice to give to the delegates at the
proper time, but what it is he will not
say. In an interview he said that there
was no doubt that the sentiment of
the men is in favor of a strike but
he refused to make any reply when
asked If he would give advice that
would come in conflict with their
sentiments. 1t is admitted that what
President Mitchell suggests will be
done, Notwithstanding the fact that a
majority of the delegates are in favor
of strike If the mine owners do not
make concessions. Therefore, II
looks very much as though the whole
matter rests upon the national presi
dent.
Quiet reigned everywhere in the
region and not a pound of coal was
mined anywhere.
A great crowd of mine workers
came into town from the surrounding
villages and coal patches. They
crowded around the convention hall
waiting for information from the in
side, and they were greatly disap
pointed when the convention ad
| journed without taking definite ac
| tion.
