MITCHELL'S PLAN
TO BE ACCEPTED
UNION LEADER TAKES FLOOR
FOR HIS RECOMMENDATION.
ANTHRACITE FUND Is SAFE
Mine Workers. President Says Other
Strikes May be Looked After With
out Splitting Fund of Hard Coal
Miners-Motion Referred to High
Committee.

indianapolis, July 19.-At the con-
clusion of the secret session, which
lasted the entire afternoon, the rec
concentrations of Mitchell were re-
ferred to a special commitaee which is
to report back to the convention this
morning This committee consists OF
President Mitchell, Vice President
Lewis, Secretary Wilson and the pres
ident of each district represented in
the convention. There is little doubt
the committee will urge the adoption
of the recommendation and fixinf the
rate of assessment 10 per cent. or high
er. At the opening of the executive
session Vice President Lewis delivered
an energetic speech on the amendment
| that fund be raised for all striking
miners where their strike has been
sanctioned by the general organization
Mitchell took the floor to speak for the
adoption Of the recommendation
made in his speech Thursday. cts
| possible other strikes may come" he
said" and then under the precedent
which the general distribution of the
funds to be raised would create these
later strikes could claim their share
in the fund and it would be SO depict
ed as to fail entirely of it's purpose
He declared that the cost of maintain
ing strikes varied according to places
and conditions.
| Mitchell assured the convention the
strike in the Pittsburg district and al
/ other strikes would be looked after
without splitting up the fund for the
anthracite men and again urged the
men to dismiss from their minds all
| thought of a general strike. His re
| marks were greeted with enthusiastic
| cheers. After a speech by Delegate
Dolan explaining the conditions in
Pittsburg, vote was taken on the
amendment and it was defeated by a
decisive majority. This left the orig.
| inal motion for the adoption of the
| recommendation of the president.
The matter was then referred to a
committee Of the three highest officers
of the national organization and the
presidents of the districts represented.
The convention adjourned until today

tween the brothers the greatest pos
sible affection-nay, the most tender
love existed.
They resembled each other greatly.
They were tall, dark, handsome men,
NOBLE and generous. The two younger
sons had but a very small patrimony.
Rudolph lost the greater part of his
money in some speculation by which
he bad hoped to double it; Uric
worked hard at his profession. Sir
Richard was generosity itself. He in
sisted upon making both brothers g.
very handsome allowance. They were
unwilling to accept it, but they made
a compromise. They agreed to take it
until the elder brother married; then,
they persisted in saying, he would
want it himself.
So it was arranged, and very happy
they all were. At last Sir Richard.
during one of his visits to London,
fell in love with Ethel, daughter of
Lady Lakewood. Captain Rudolph
Culmore. rendered curious by his
brothers enthusiastic description of
his bethrothed, went to see her. and at
once became victim to the charms
of her cousin, Nest Lakewood, an Or
phan whom Lady Hazlewood had
adopted when the girls parents died.
Sir Richard was delighted
There was some question Just then
about the captains regiment being
ordered abroad, so that, on that score
apart from other obstacles, nothing
was said about his immediate mar
riage. But there was no obstacle to,
that of the heir of Brooke with Ethel
| HazleWood; therefore the important
ceremony took place without loss Of
/ time.
The bride was beautiful and
queenly woman, fair, graceful and
stately. She was deeply in love with
| her husband, who had a passionate
affection for her.
The two brothers were present at
the wedding; Nest Lakewood was
one of the bridesmaids. The event
passed off with the greatest ecIat.
The happy bride and bridegroom went
off to the Continent, and returned.
after six weeks absence, in great
state to Brooke.
Nest was persuaded to live with her
cousin, and for few months every
thing went merriiy "as a marriage
DELL The captain heard no more Of
the departure of his regiment, and was
continually running over to Brooke.
Captain Culmore had only his pay
he had lost his private fortune-and
beautiful Nest had nothing, SO that It
might, probably would be, years be-
fore their marriage could take place.
The eldest brother, Sir Richard, made
most liberal offers to Rudolph. He
| would have shared his income with
him, but the captain would not con-
sent. 1t would be an injustice to take
it, he said, now that Sir Richard was
married and might have children OF his
own to provide for. He said that Nest
and he loved each other truly. and
were not afraid to wait-that he should
do his best, and work hard for promo
ton.
The captain was passionately at
tached to Miss Lakewood, but he was
more philosophical than she was. He.
looked upon the postponement of the,
marriage as a necessity which there
was no need to bewail, while she
brooded in silence over what she con-.
sidered most cruel fate
