gan at 10 o'clock this morning in Tom

country studying labor conditions, ar
rived last night, and is to be the guest
OF President Mitchell and the miners

dress will be one OF the features Of the
convention. The convention will con-
tinue until January 80, when the joint
conference with the operators of Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana VIII
begin. This conference viii probably
last for ten days.
IL was the understanding that the
delegates are preparing TO ask for an
advance that will be equivalent to an
all-round increase OF at least 10 per
cent. Along with this report, however
Is another to the effect that many oper-
ators have determined to take a stand
for reduction of 10 per cent on the
ground that they have had an unproht-
able year and that the prospects for
the coming year are not bright enough
To warrant even continuation Of the
present scale. II is not believed there
VIII be lockout as the miners and OPP
- a. a -
competitive scale have been able TO
reach an agreement during the last
year without much trouble.
The convention was called TO order
today by President Mitchell and after
the delegates were seated the report OF
