posed to the amendment and the indica-
tions are that request will be made that
the House instruct the conferees when they
are appointed to disagree TO this amend
ment. In case this course is pursued Rep
resentative Overstreet will resurrect an old
bill which he introduced during the last
session and attempt to secure favorable
consideration, which will have the same
effect The committee has taken no def
mite action yet, but it is quite evident

NOT WELL RECEIVED.
Many Miners Wore an Anxious Look
When They Heard the News.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, May 15.-Idle min
ers and laborers thronged the streets of
this city and adjoining towns all to-day
anxiously awaiting news from the Hazleton
convention. When the word finally came
this evening that the representatives OF
the underground workers had voted to con-
tinue the strike the men dispersed to their
homes, many of them wearing a look Of
anxiety If not actual distress. They knew
that the last hope was gone and that prob
ably long period of idleness was before
them.
In United Mine Workers circles the action
of the convention is upheld. The leaders
claim that IL was not possible for the
miners to recede from their demands; that
II they did dissensions would soon appear
in their ranks and there would be danger
of the union falling of it's own weight. If
the union must be destroyed, the leaders
think, il would be better that il should die
hghting the common enemy than to be an
initiated by dissensions in Its own ranks.
One Of the subordinate officers of the
United Mine Workers said tonight that 1T
was not arbitration that the operators
wanted, but the life blood of the union.
The Individual operators in this section
do not look for prolonged strike. They
think the strikers not prepared for a
long period OF idleness, and that when
hunger comes the foreign element will make
a rush to get back to work and that Will
finish the strike. There is much depression
in business circles over the strike order.
