that the administration was in favor

duction in, the representation Of
Southern states in national conven-
lions and congress. The officials at
Washington were quick to suthoritat.

TROUBLE In KENTUCKY MINES.
MITCHELL CALLED TO COAL
FIELDS AND ANOTHER
STRIKE IMMINENT.

Bowling Green, KY, Nov. 10
Another strike of 5000 miners en-
ployed in Hopkins. Muhlenburg and
Webster counties is said to be likely.
This section has been the scene of la
Dor agitation for the better part Of
three years. Eighteen coal mines have
bitterly resisted the demands Of the
union men and are still running as
non-union mines, though the fight, in
addition to the money it cost operat-
ors and miners, has resulted in blood
shed and on several occasions has re-
quired the presence of the militia.
President John Mitchell Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers has been called to
the Western Kentucky field, and il is
believed an effort will be made to re-
new the fight. The time is propiti-
Gus, as all the mines are crowded to
their fullest capacity with orders.
