For Many Ohio Cities, if Pro
vision Is Adopted.

Columbus, O., Oct. 17.-At the meet
ing yesterday afternoon OF the con-
ference committee having in charge
the municipal code, the amendment
adopted Wednesday placing the ap-
pointment of the members OF the
board of public safety In the hands
of the commissioners Of the sinking
fund was stricken from the bill and
in it's stead was inserted a provision
that this board, to consist of two or

termine, is to be appointed by the
mayor and confirmed by a vote Il
twc-thirGs CT all members elected to
the council. If council fails to con-
firm within 80 days after the nomlna-
ticns ere made the governor is to ap-
point.
This provision, it is claimed, pr2c-
tically provides that almost every city

during the strife. The organization
will take care Of such other men as
are unable to Immediately find work.
1t is estimated that all the strikers
will not find work until two or three
months have elapsed. This is due TO
the condition CT the mines. Some Of
them are wholly or partially flooded
and others need repairs.
It was a lively day around strike
headquarters. From early morning
until after the announcement was
made that a convention would be
called a crowd was congregated at
the place. Nr. Mitchell spent an ex.
tremely busy day. In the morning he
had many callers. who congratulated
him. and n the afternoon he was en-
gagged with the three district boards.
kilograms Of congratulation from al
parts CT the country came to the lead
ers OF the miners during the day.

Iassion, which lasted 2 hours and 10
minutes. There was come opposition
manifested in the rceeting against
certain features CT the plan, but after
q full discussion of the Objectionable
partS a unanimous vote was taken to
recommend to the convention on the
acceptance Of the proposition. AS the
conference was held behind closed
doors and a bond of secrecy was
placed on every man present, the
specific objections were not officially
announced. These are the same ex-
ecutive boards which, on May last,
ordered the strike to begin, which ac-
ton was approved. in the face Of Mr..
Mitchelrs opposition. by the Halle
ton convention a few days later. 1t
Is, expected that some objection will
be raised on the floor Of the conven-
ton but the officers Of the union are
confident that opposition will disap-
Dear when President Mitchell ex'
plains all the features Of the modified
proposition to the delegates.
A question was raised yesterday as
to whether Commissioner Wright, who
VII be the recorder q tie c5mmIs-
sion, shall have the right to vote in
case the six other members Of the
board are equally divided on any
question In connection with settle
ment. Mr.. Mitcheh, when asked, did
not appear to be sure that he had not.
and other officials Of the union were
also uncertain of Mr.. Wrights status.
The matter CT the term Of years that
the agreement shall. be in force was
also a source of much inquiry. The
union was strongly opposed to the
operators fixing the term OF years.
Cne district president said this fea-
ture had been left to the discretion
Of the commission, as suggested in
Mr.. Mitchelps proposition, while other
officials did not know anything about
it. President Mitchell, for some rea.
son, did not care to discuss any fea-
ture of. the arbitration agreement
while the matter was still in the
hands OF the miners.
May All Resume by Thursday.
II the plans Of the strike leaders
are not disarranged a general resump-
ton Of mining will take place about
next Thursday. 1t Is expected the
convention will last two days and that
there will be an interval Of one day
from the time the convention adjourns
until the time set for the men to go
back to the mines. II the convention
should be in session on Wednesday,
it is probable that resumption would
not take place until Friday. There
will not be much work at first for all
the strikers, as it Is the intention Of
the companies not to dismiss the non
union men who have stood by them

q Brussels, April Tie rioters have
been temporarily awed by the over
powering display of armed force. up
to noon Saturday no further disturb
tance had occurred here. The number
of police, gendarmes and soldiers at
the disposal Of the authorities appears
sufficient to cope with disturbances,
so long as the troops remain loyal.
The strike continues to spread in the
central coal districts. Elsewhere the
socialist leaders are trying tokeep the
men at work until Monday or Tuesday,
when they contemplate ansimportant
movement.
Perhaps the most significant event
Of Friday was the open rupture be-
tween the socialists and the liberal
faction, heretofore associated with the
former, with the object Of forcing the
government to grant universal suf-
fragA. This split notably strength
ems the governments hands. in the
present crisis, as the coalition Of the
moderate parties promises to last as
long as the incipient revolution con-
tinues.
In consequence Of the receipt of
letter threatening to blow up with
dynamite the faience works at La
Louviere, unless work there is stopped,
the manager has shut down the fac
tory and has ordered the 1900 em-
ployes, who include 500 women, to i'm
mediately leave the premises.

A MOVE.
ATTORNEYS Of President uillDesin Ac
ton I'm the Ramsey District
Court 1t st. Paul.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 1.-THE first
>cerned in the railway merger as
against the suit instituted by the state
of Minnesota in the Ramsey district
court has been taken by President
Hills attorneys.
They have served notice upon Attor-
ney General Douglas Of motion to
vacate service in the summons and
complaint of the state Of Minnesota
against the Northern Securities COM
pany and against President James j.
Hill, of that corporation, and of the
Great Northern road.
The motion will come before the
Ramsey district court for argument
one week from Saturday. It will be
heard at special term of court. Just
which one Of the members of the Ram
sey bench will preside has yet to be
determined.
The motion of the railways will be
based on the claim that the Northern
Securities company is a New Jersey
corporation, and as such outside the
Jurisdiction Of the Minnesota courts.
It will also be argued that James j.
Hills residence in this state is mere
" personal, and as such he is not
amenable to the laws in the case as he
would be under normal conditions.
The argument on next Saturday will
not affect the main question as stated
in the bill of complaint fled by the
attorney general.
