WILKESBARRE Pa, Oct 20.-Sev-
en- hundred delegates to the miners
convention assembled when District
President Nichols called the conven-
ton to order at 1922 a. m. President
Mitchell will address the body when
permanent organization Is effected.
Tomorrow 1t is expected that the con
vention will formally end the greatest
strike the world has ever seen and
order the men back to work Thurs
day. Some opposition is expected to
the operators arbitration proposal and
making a threeyears' contract, but ac-
ceptance of the proposition is assured.
Although the convention has ad-
journed until this afternoon, 1t is evil
dent everywhere that the gathering
will follow Mitchell's lead AS moth
ing could be done soon after the or
ganization today until the committee
on credentials had completed their
work and report, the Csc delegates
turned the morning session into sort
of love feast, sang songs and became
wildly enthusiastic when one member
arose and said: Let us give three
cheers for Mitchell for the strike that
we have won"
The recipient Of this ovation receiv-
ed 1t with all becoming modesty. but
was evidently gratihed, especially as
the heads of the convention gathered
about him and declared that it was
the purpose Of every true laboring
