MINE WORKERS OFFICIALS.
Charges of Crookedness Made Against
Some of Them.


indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 22.-Charges
against President Mitchell, Secretary
Wilson and the executive board of the
United Mine Workers of America were
the first order of business before the
U. NJ. w. convention Tuesday after
noon and the unexpected announce
ment that the charge would be taken
up caused a furry of excitement in the
convention. Miss Mollie Meredith, an
eX-employe of the national Office, read
her charges against the officials. The
charges concern the shortage of ex
Secretary-Treasurer Pearce and allege
that President Mitchell and Secretary
Treasurer Wilson did not give out all
the facts concerning Pearce's actions
and that they "wilfully lied" to the
miners committee year ago. An in
vestigation of the books is demanded
to see how much Pearce's shortage
was. 1t is intimated that both Mitch
ell and Wilson sought to protect
Pearce, and for that reason did not
give out all the facts.
Miss Meredith charges that Pearce
frequently presented bills for double
the amount of purchases. She also
says that Pearce's extra money"
amounted to $4,000 a year, while Mitch
ell and Wilson reported that he had
only taken $780, Miss Meredith also
says that Mitchell allowed Pearce to
go away as a sick man" and send in
his resignation from French Lick
Springs.
President Mitchell made affidavit
that the statement he made to the
mine workers convention a year ago
was the truth, and the whole truth.
He submitted the affidavit to the con-
ventiOn.
Following the conclusion of Presi-
dent Mitchell's statement there was a
protracted discussion, many delegates
being desirous of being heard at the
same time. A resolution was offered
during the confusion expressing conf
dence in President Mitchell and the
other accused officials and condemna-
tion for Miss Meredith, but it was vOt-
ed down and National Organizer Ev-
ans submitted a substitute resolution
calling for the appointment of a com
mittee of seven to investigate all
charges and report to the convention.
This was adopted President Van
Horn appointed the following commit
tee: ]. H. Kennedy and Samuel
Lynch, of Indiana, districts and Il;
w. D. Ryan, of district No. 12, Illi-
nois; T. D. Nichols, district No. 1.
Pennsylvania; ]. D. Wood, district No.
25, Kentucky; w. H. Haskens, district
No 6, Ohio; Richard Gilbert, district
No 2, Pennsylvania.
indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 23.-The min.
ers' investigation committee was in
session Wednesday night till l o'clock
Thursday morning. Miss Meredith
was before it and was questioned as to
her charges and upon what facts they
were based. She agreed that if the
committee would examine the entries
ters during the year 1899 for amounts
paid for postage and compare these
with ecretary-Treasurer -Pearce's
receipts for postage to find how many
had been altered and the discrepancies
proved no larger than claimed by
President Mitchell, she would be will
ing to retract her charges. A member
of the committee said after the ad-
journment that a report would be
made Thursday at the session and
that President Mitchell would be ex-
