LEADERS CONFIDENT
OF SECURING FUNDS
President Mchels Recommendations Referred Special Commit
tee Which Will Report To-Day to Miners Conventon-Gen-
eral Strike Out of the Question: Says the President

the adoption of the recommendations,
and fix the rate of assessment at ten
per cent. higher.
Vice-President Lewis delivered an en-
ergetic speech on the amendment Of
fered by Delegate HaSkins to-day. that
the fund to be raised for the aid of the
anthracite miners be extended to all of
the striking miners where their strike
has been sanctioned by the general or
ganzation. He declared that all the
miners should be taken care of in like
manner. President Mitchell told the con-
vention that the strikes in West Virginia
and elsewhere were being protected by
the general organization, under the reg
ular assessments of the union, but that
the assessment which was under dis
cussio1 was necessary for the support
of the anthracite strikers alone, and
should not be diverted from its purpose.
..It is possible that other strikes may
come" he said, ''and then under the
precedent. which a general distribution
of the fund to be raised would create,
these later strikers could claim their
share in the fund, and 1t would be de-
pleted so as to fail entirely OF the pur-
pose"
tanning strikes varied accoiuiHS 10 places
..The anthracite strike he concluded,
sis the cheapest strike that we can
have
Mr.. Mitchell assured the convention that
the strike in the Pittsburg district and all
other strikes would be looked after with
out splitting UP the fund 1or the antnra-
cite men. and again urged the men to dis
miss from their minds all thought OF
general strike.
President Dolan. of District No .. Pitts.
burg. said during the morning session
that his district had not received aid. and
that the aid 1t had received had been in.
sufficient. and President Mitchell rejoined
tnar the Pittsburg district had received
from the national organization the exact
sum which the officers OF that district
had said would be necessary TO win the
strike. The Haskins amendment was yot-
ed down by a decisive majority. This
left before the convention the original
motion for the adoption OF the. recon-
mendations of the president
