COAL MINERS
WILL STRIKE
Resolution Adopted at the United Work
ers' Convention at Shamokin.
THIS ACTION AFFECTS l44,OOO MEN.
The Convention Decided to Suspend Work
at the Mines Three Days In Each Week
After April II Negotiations Are Then Pend
ipg--Ths is Intended to Prevent the Storage
Of Coal by the Companies

Shamokin, Pa, (Special) Unless the
efforts of the Civic Federation are eff
fective with the coal operators it is more
than likely that repetition of the strug-
gle of 1900 will occur in the anthracite
region. In that year 10000 employees
of the anthracite mines were out on
strike for six weeks.
The convention of districts Nos 1, 7
and g. United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, which districts comprise the entire
anthracite field, made provisional
strike declaration, leaving the date to be
decided by the executive boards OF the
three districts. This was practically the
last official act of the delegates and the
convention adjourned sine die at
o'clock
The adoption of the resolution con-
tanning the ultimatum of the mine work.
erS was followed by scene of wild en-
thusiasm, and the opera house rang with
the acclamations of the delegates, who,
with lusty cheers, approved the work OF
the special resolution committee and ex-
pressed their confidence in President
Mitchell
The convention from the first session
showed disposition to insist on an ad-
justment of the mine workers griev-
ances, but the delegates were willing to
relinquish the question of recognition
providing other more important conces-
sions were granted. This fact is evil
denced in the resolution adopted, which
states, as the chief demands, shorter
work day, a minimum day wage scale,
uniform increase in wages and the
weighing of coal wherever practicable
The Civic Federation is regarded by
the delegates as the last hope of the
mine workers in their demands for inn
proved conditions, and the gravity of the
situation is manifest in the words of
President Mitchell; 81 am free to say
that to me strike seems imminent"

Willemstad, Curacao (By Cable) -
During the past FIVE days the revolution
n Venezuela has broken out almost
everywhere. The Government cannot
control the country east of Cumana.
Barcelona is still beseged by the revo-
utionists and Carupano is partially in
heir power.
President Castro has sent First Vice
President Gomez, with 1900 men,
lgainst the revolutionists under General
Riera, who is in the vicinity of Capa-
dare, in the State of Falcon. Second

giously been sent against Riera, returned
10 Caracas without defeating the revo-
lutionary general.

win one important battle all Venezuela
will rise against the government of
President Castro. Castro is recruiting

durable is being pressed into the service.

Heretofore there have been plans for
remodeling and enlargng the White
House in order to meet present require

any material way the arrangement of this

be provided elsewhere At one time
there was a suggestion of a presidential
residence outside of the White House.

when performed by other citizens ought
not to be illegal when performed by
