Shamokin, Pa, March 25.-Unless
the efforts of the Civic Federation are
effective with the coal operators it is
more than likely that a repetition of
the struggle of 1900 will occur in the
anthracite region. In that year 100000
employees of the anthracite mines
were out on strike for six weeks The
convention yesterday of Districts Nos.
l, Z and 9, United Mine Workers of
America, which districts comprise the
entire anthracite field, made a pro-
visiOnal strike declaration, leaving the
date to be decided by the executive
board of the three districts. This was
practically the last official act of the
delegates, and the convention ad-
journed sine die at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The adoption of the reso-
luton containing the ultimatum of
the mine workers was followed by a
scene Of wild enthusiasm, and the
opera house rang with the acclama-
tions of the delegates. who, with lusty
cheers, approved the work of the spe-
cial resolution committee and ex-
pressed their confidence in President
Mitchell
The convention from the first session
showed a disposition to insist on an
adjustment of the mine workers
grievances, but the delegates were
willing to relinquish the question OF
recognition providing other more i'm
portant concessions were granted This
fact is evidenced in the resolution
adopted yesterday, which states as the
chief demands: A shorter work day, &
minimum wage scale, a uniform in
crease in wages, and the weighing o.
coal wherever practicable.
The resolution adopted was the re
suit of a difference of opinion among
the delegates as to the methods t.
be pursued in enforcing the mine
| workers demands. Resolutions haC
been presented to the convention from
all of the districts, but none of then
were satisfactory to the entire bod.

We thought that friendship was a
grand thing. In school we used to
write compositions about friendship.
and perhaps we made our graduating
speech on commencement day on
friendship. Oh, it was a charming
thing! But does it mean as much to
you as it used to? You have gone on in
life, and one friend has betrayed you,
and another friend has misinterpreted
you, and another friend has neglected

times to mean to you merely another

was safe for all the future, but we
have learned that a mortgage may be
defeated by an unknown previous in
cumbrance; that signing your name on

may change the current of trade; that
man may be rich today and poor to
