MINERS IN CONVENTION

States Assemble at indianapolis.

States Assemble at indianapolis.
indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 21.-Nearly
1000 members of the United Mine
Workers of America have gathered
here for the thirteenth annual con-
vention which began at 10 o'clock
in Tombnson hall. 1t is confidently eX-
pected by President Mitchell. Secre-
tary Wilson and other officers that it
will be the largest convention ever
held by union laborers. Delegates are
here from twenty-four states, repre-
senting every bituminous and anthra-
cite coal field i'm the United States.
Bonn Tillett, the famous British labor
leader, who is in this country studying
labor conditions, is the guest Of Presi-
dent Mitchell.
His address will be one of the feat
ures of the convention. The conven-
tion will continue until Jan. 30, when
the joint conference with the operators
of Ohio. Pennsylvania and Indiana
will begin. This last conference will
probably last for ten days. 1t is the
understanding that the delegates are
preparing to ask for an advance that
will be equivalent to an all round in
crease Of at least 10 per cent. Along
with this report, however, is another
to the effect that many of the opera
tors have determined TO take a stand
for a reduction of 10 per cent. on the
ground that they have had an unprofit-
able year and that the prospects for the
coming year are not bright enough to
warrant even a continuation of the
present scale.
