Hazelton, Pa, May 1.-THE general
convention of United Mine Workers of
America of the anthracite coal territory
of Pennsylvania began this morning ana
before 1t adJourns sine die will have
reached a conclusion on the question
whether the temporary strike for higher
wages or shorter hours, which was In
augurated on Monday, shall be made
permanent or whether the men shall re
turn to work and await a more oppor-
tune time.
There Is every Indication that the con-
vention will decide to strike, but the
sentiment against n suspension OF work
at this time Is hourly growing stronger.
Hundreds of the delegates who have
been instructed to follow their own or
President Mltchelrs judgment have
sought the national leader for advice.
but he has remained as silent as a
Sphinx.
In an interview with a representative
OF the Associated Press just before he
entered the convention, President
Mitchell plainly indicated that he had n
definite plan in view, but he refused TO
say what 1t was. He said, however, that
he had finally decided that he would, If

BUYS AGYMNASlUM
WASHINGTON SCHOOL PURCHASE
ATHLETES OUTFIT.
INSTRUCTOR TO BE ENGAGED
Each of the Butte Schools to Have
"Gyms"-Prof. Hastings Successful
in Promoting Muscle Making
Scheme-Students Pleased.

All the paraphernalia of the Butte
gymnasium was bought today for the
Washington school.
This is the first movement in the gen.
eral plan to provide each school in Butte
with gymnasium.
Prof. B. c. Hastings has been working
for months to secure a gymnasium in the
board of education last night authorized
the purchase of the paraphernalia Of the
Butte gym for the Washington school.
1t will cost $500.
In the basement of the Washington
school, which Is 100x30 feet, the appar-
atus will be placed. The pupils will be
admitted between the hours of and 0,
II and !, and and 3, covering an hour
before the morning session, the noon
hour and an hour after the afternoon
session.
Great enthusiasm was manifested to-
day at the Washington school over the
announcement that a complete gymnas-
tic outfit had been bought for them. The
pupils are much interested in the gym,
and now fears are expressed that addi-
tional apparatus and room will have to
be secured In order that every pupil may
have proper practice.
Instructor Not Engaged.
However, 1t is probable that they will
go into the gymnasium In groups and at
stated hours; at least, this will be the
arrangement for the present.
No instructor has yet been engaged,
but one will be within a few weeks
There are several teachers whom the
board of education are considering, but nc
definite conclusion has been reached. In
all probability one of the local athletes
will be selected
AS rapidly as possible a gymnasium
will be placed in each of the public
schools of Butte. In some OF the schools
there is not now room, but the principal
impediment Is lack of funds. However
the board of education hopes to devise a
way to provide the necessary money.
Gymnasiums in schools have been dem
onstrated to be necessary. In all of the
schools of the more important cities
there are gymnasiums. In some of the
schools there are separate gyms for the
boys and girls. the girls having then
own woman instructor.
This Is the general scheme proposed foi
the Butte schools but ii will be some
time before 1t can be carried into effect

The Adcocate;
This has been gala day for
the Democrats of old Wolfe. Hon.
Frank A. Hopkins, the Democratic
candidate for Congress for this,
the Tenth District, made a rousing
Democratic speech here today TO
an enthusiastic audience of about
1000 people. His speech was well
taken and frequently applauded
He thoroughly desected the plat
form of his opponent and held up to
ridicule the fallacious policies and
hypecritical pretenses of the Re-
publican leaders.
Mr.. White, the Republican can
didate was invited to be present,
and divide time with Mr.. Hopkins,
but for obvious reasons, failed to
show up, but his "still hunt" and
"gumshoe" tactics were shown up
in high order. Mr.. Hopkins made
a great speech which fired the
Democratic heart, and Wolfe
county can safely be counted on
for 400 majority for Hopkins.
