MINERS WANT A RAISE
WILL INSIST ON INCREASE OF
 12 1-2 PER CENT.
They Say That They Will Not Recede from This Demand-Work of s the Convention in
 Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Jan. 23.-The convention of the United Mine Workers of America, in executive session, this afternoon complet- ed the consideration of the wage scale, and Secretary Wilson announced tonight there would be no more executive ses- sions.
 The mine workers decided to demand an increase in wages of 12 1-2 cents per ton on run of mine basis, and all coal to be paid for on that basis. A differen- tial of cents between pick and machine mined coal will be asked for. The entire competitive district. composed of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and the Pittsburg dis trict of Pennsylvania, Is governed by this scale. A demand also will be made for proportionate advance to the inside and outside common laborers.
 The result of the committee's delibera- tions will not be satisfactory to some Some of the demands were for nearly a 50 per cent advance, making run of the mine the basis for wages in all cases The run of the mine Is not looked upon favorably by some.
 It was said tonight that the desire of the convention was to ask for reason able increase and stand by it. There will be no receding from this demand, 1t was said. It was the opinion of the ma tority that it would be better to make the demand which they expected to en- force rather than to make a demand for a large increase and probably come down. The report of the committee on officers reports indorsed all of the recommenda- tons of President Mitchell, Vice. Presl- dent T. l.. Lewis and Secretary Wilson except that of the latter advocating the changing of the time of holding the con- vention. On that matter the committee recommended that the books of the or ganizatlon be closed November 30 each year, in order that the officers may have sufficient time in which to prepare their reports before the opening of the conven- ton. It also recommended that all dele gates be seated in the convention whose locals have their dues paid up until one month prior to the closing of the books
 Other recommendations were that the work of organizing should be kept up in the Virgfnias: also that $10.00O be appro- priated to appeal from the decision of Judge Jackson in the injunction cases and that q special defense fund commit tee be appointed.
 A resolution fayoring the remittlng of dues owing by locals on account of the anthracite strike was not concurred in.
 Speculation had already begun on the joint wage conference between operators and miners. which begins in Indianapolis rext week. It Is said the Illinois operat- tors will demand that the run of the mine basis be forced on the rest of the central competitive district. The operators, it is said, are preparing to meet the demand of the workers for a 20 per cent increase in wages.
 The regular sessions of the miners con- vention are due to close next Thursday night The operators will begin to arrive Thursday.

CONVICTED OF TREASON
COL. ARTHUR LYNCH sENTENc.
 ED TO DEATH.
Believed, However, That Commuta. ton to Imprisonment Will Be Made-Justice Wills Moral
 izes on Treason.

London, Jan. G.-ColoneI Arthur Lynch, member of Parliament for Galway was found guilty of treason today and was sentenced to death. Colonel Lynch was charged with having fought in the BOer army against England.
 The jury returned the verdict of guilty after being out but half an hour and when the sentence was pronounced, Col onel Lynch on being asked if he had anything to say why the sentence of death should not be pronounced, replied:
 Thank you; 1 will say nothing"
 In delivering sentence. Justlce Wills said the crime of high treason of which the prisoner had been found guilty was happily so rare that it seemed to be aI- most an anachronism. No civilized com munity had yet failed to punish severely defection from loyalty whether In the way of open warfare or secret intrigue. In the darkest hours of his countrys for tune, when engaged in a deadly struggle, Lynch joined the ranks of its foes and shed the blood of his fellow subjects fighting for their country and sought to dethrone Great Britain from her place among the nations. The only palliation which could be offered was that it had
 
 lightly matters of this kind and men had been encouraged to play with sedition and toy with treason. The nation had treated with contemptuous indifference speeches and acts of sedition. but 1t was one thing to talk sedition and quite different thing to bear arms in the ranks of the country's foes.
 Although formally sentenced to be hanged. Lynch's sentence will no doubt be commuted. During the deliberations of the jury. Lynch bore himself with un- faltering composure and after he had been removed Lynch and his counsel had a conference regarding the course to be adopted in the future. Later it was an- nounced that no action would be taken at present. Counsel can proceed with ap- nlvinx for a writ of error, but it is thought that this may be rendered un- necessary by the communication of the sen- tence to a short term of Imprisonment in which case 1t is probable that the pris- oner will accept the situation.
 I,ynch's conviction creates parliament ary vacancy in Galway and it is under stood that Captain Shaw Taylor, orga- nizer of the recent land conference, who ia now in America, will be a candidate with the approval of the various poli.i- cal parties.
