Not Inclined on First Day of Convention to
BE Agreeable
sWfIkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 21. - The
anxiously awaited convention of the
$4,000 striking miners met yesterday,
but did not reach vote on the pro-
posed plan of settlement 1t is eX-
pected to do so today. There We're
662 delegates present in the Nesbitt
theater, where the convention was held
and they were empowered by their
local unions to cast S67 votes for or
against President ROosevelt's proposed
plan of arbitration. The great ma
Jority of the delegates were uninStruct-
ed, the few who were instructed be-
ing engineers, firemen and pumpmen
who fear that the 5000 strikers OF
those classes may not get back their
old places, now held by nOn-uniOn men.
This question of the engineers, firemen
and pumpmen proved the only stum-
bling block in the way of almost i'm
mediate adoption of the peace prt-
pOsal.
Not Looking for Fifteen Nay Votes.
AT one time yesterday it seemed GER
tain that the convention was about to
adopt the recommendation of President
Mitchell to end the strike. but the
steam mems plea was too earnest, and
the final vote went over. The leaders
of the strikers, except Mitchell, were
hardly heard at all in the convention
yesterday the anxious engineers being
allowed to give full expression to their
feelings. One of the high district Of
ficers said yesterday there would not
be more than fifteen votes recorded
against the plan to resume work.
Net Results the First Day.
There were two sessions-forenoon
and afternOon-yesterday and the net
result as regards the progress of the
convention toward its great object was
a permanent organization. with Mitch
ell in the chair, and his speeches lay
ing the presidents plan before the der
egates and advocating it's adoption,
and the appointment of Il committee
on resolutions. This committee as
Mitchell said to the delegates, would
prepare formal statement to the pub
lie, telling fully and carefully why the
convention decided to continue the
strike. if it should so decide, and why
the strike was declared off, if that was
the outcome of their deliberations. The
question before convention when IL adj
journed for the day was on the adop-
ton of the resolution to call off the
strike and leave all questions to the
presidents commission.

pump runners are not so numerous.
After Mitchelrs third speech the del
egates again took up the debate, and
the views expressed were varied. One
was willing TO leave the whole mat
ter in the hands of President Roose-
velt's commission, and another said,
IF 1 can't get my job 1 can look for
another one. therefore let us go to
work and give the American people
some coal" The sentiment of the last
speaker was loudly applauded.

The following special was received last
night from GordonzvtI1e:
THE negroes caught at Gordonsvflle
and arrested at the depot Tuesday even
ing were men of ville-William
Jones and Bernard Daniels. They stole a
ride from Orange Courthouse on the blind

cease, when Daniels was to have been
married that night

were fined seven dollars and costs for

evidence could be gotten against them
with the intent to rob The mail.

said yesterday he had learned that Mr..
Clayton lad a far larger sum of money
with him that was at first supposed. This
IS important, as it explains the motive for
the robbery and accompanying murder.
