HORE THAN TWO THOUSAND COAL

Pittsvillc, Pa, May a6.-Since the inau-
guration of the strike in the anthracite
coal region there has been continuous
exodus of mine workers from the Schuyl-
kill district
Many of the miners have taken their
families with them, their intention being
to locate permanently in other fields.
Most of the departing mine workers are
foreigners, but many English speaking
strikers are among the number.
Buck Mountain has been practically de-
serted and New Philadelphia is rapidly be-
ing abandoned.
1t is estimated that over 1000 mine
workers have left Shenandoah and vicinity
The engineers, pumpmen and fremen in
this section will meet here Wednesday to

CLOSING DAY OF THE

Only important Business Left to Be Done
Is the Selection Of the Place to
Meet Next Year.
[BY ASSOCIATED pREss.l

New York, May 26.-Little remains to
be done in the Presbyterian general as
semby but that little is OF great mpor-
tance, not only to the members of this
assembly, but to those who shall be elected
next year and to the million COMMITMENTS
who may be called on for an additional
cent to pay for the extra expense in case
the assembly decides to go to Los Angeles.
When the assembly went to Portland
10 years ago, the assessment was seven
cents for each communicant. As the meet.
ings have since been held for the most
part east OF Chicago ii was decided to re-
duce the assessment to five cents.
If it should be decided today to raise
the amount to the amount it was at the
Portlad injecting, it would not be great
hardship upon any individual, but the
penny or two collected this way, and it
would save a deficiency.
The representatives think it would be
good thing for Presbyterianism in Cali
fornia.
Today the delegates will take sail
up the Hudson. In case adjournment
should be reached at noon, as seems un-
likely now, an evening session will prob
ably be held

New York, May 26.-The Presbyterian
general assembly at today's session chose
Los Angeles, Cal, as the Mace OF next
meeting.
The general assembly acted adversely
Oh an overture from the prcsbytery of Los
Angeles, requesting that ministers coming
from the South Presbyterian church be
honoraby retired with the same privileges
as if they had served always with the
church under the general assembly. The
matter came before the assembly in re-
port from the committee on ministerial
alliance.
The Rev. w. S. Young, DID,, pastor of
Emanuel Presbyterian church, Los Angeles,
advised that the assembly at favorably on
the overture.
"ln the West" he said, there were
many ministers who had come from the
Southern branch, and favorable action by
the assembly would help to bring the two
churches together"
Rev. DIR. Benjamin L. Andrew of Phia-
delphia, corresponding secretary Of the
board of ministerial relief, took the oppo-
site view. He said the result of granting
the demand of the presbytery Of Los An
geles would be that many Of the retired
ministers, who had always been with the
Northern Presbyterian church, would have
their already scant allowances cut down.
Are No Differences.
"When the civil war was closed" he said,
1--WE would have been willing to vote for
the union of the two churches; but ! am
utterly opposed to holding out any money
consideration to bring them over. They
will have the same privileges as our mem
bers if they come over to the principles"
The Rev. DIR. James McIlvain OF Balti-
more, said it would be unfortunate if the
overture did not receive favorable action.
There is no difference with us between
the church North or South" he said
When the question OF selecting meeting
place was taken up the Rev. Dr. Henry *.
Minton, former moderator, made a 10
minute address in favor of Los Angeles.
He said Los Angeles had worked two years
to get the assembly, and should have it
next year.
The Rev. Richard s. Holmes pointed out
that there was a great difference between
the mileage for Cleveland and Los An
gcles.
"1f you want to burden the membership
for such a big sum as this difference
would be, let the money go to home mis-
sions or to pay off debts. We have no
right to do thing to favor any big cor
poraton or railroad"
