COAL MINERS WILL MEET.
CONVENTION OF WORKERS IN AN.
THRAClTE REGION CALLED.
VIII Consider ACCESSIBILITY of Strik-
irg to Enforce Demands Made
On Operators.

Philadelphia, March 13.-The fol-
lowing notice will be posted tomor-
row at all collieries throughout the
anthracite coal region of Pennsyl-
vania:
RATES Of wages now in effect will
be continued until April L. 1903, and
thereafter subject to 60 days notice.
Local differences will be adjusted as
heretofore"
The rate of wages now paid to mine
workers in the anthracite region is
the same as that granted them as a re-
suit of the great strike in the fall Of
promised that the rate should remain
until April l. 1901.
Prior to the latter date Inc mine
workers, through officers of their> ma
tional organization, maize several de-
mands on the operators, among them
recognition Of the union This the
mine owners refused, but instead con-
tinued the rate of wages granted in
1900 to April II, this year. ut the re-
cent national convention Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America at In
dianapolis. it was voted to again ask
the operators to grant the men sever
al concessions. Among them was
recognition of the union and an eight
hour day At the same time the ma
tional officers were instructed to seek
a conference with the operators and
accordingly letters were sent to the
presidents of several coal companies
asking for such a meeting AS far
as is publicly known none of the pres
idents granted the request.
Failing in this the miners have CALI
ed a convention to be held al Shamo-
kin next Tuesday at which all coal
mines in the anthracite region will
be represented and at which the vital
question Of whether or not to strike
will either be finally decided or refer
red to the nationally officers with pow
er to act. How the convention will
take the notice which is to be posted
is, of course, not positively known at
this time but several of the district
officers have been quoted as saying
that if the companies grant only
continuance of the present wage scale
the rank and file Of the men will not
be satisfied.
