MINERS STAND
BY The LEADERS
Pottsville Convention Not
Likely to Elect.
Gathering Will. 1t Is Pre-
dicted. DO Nothing More
Than Endorse the Present
Miners Representatives.

A number OF the local unions of the
United Mine Workers have already
elected delegates to the Pottsvile con-
vention. All the delegates chosen are
pledged to stand by the action OF the
executive boards OF the organization
and to endorse the district presidents,
Messrs. Nichols, Dettrey and Fahy, as
the duly-authorized representatives of
the miners to sit on the Concllia tion
Board.
A prominent mine worker, discussing
the situation, said: ITO comply abso-
lutely with the operators wishes would
be an open admission that our interpre-
tation is wrong, and we could not do
that in face of the fact that our conten-
tions are substantiated by Judge Gray
and prominent newspapers throughout
the country"
When questioned as to whether an en-
dorsement of delegate convention
would be sufficient to warrant the ap-
proval of the miners credentials, several
Of the mine officials replied in the AFR
native, declaring that such action would
meet expectations. One said that they
only desired to place the miners organi-
cation in a position so that it or any of its
mem bers could not repudiate any deci-
sion that the Board of Cancellation might
render.
When the officials were asked II they
feared trouble all replied in the mega
tive, saying the provision in the award
over which the dispute arose was merely
technical. They do not believe, nor do
the miners believe, strike probable.
However, it may be possible that the
miners may ask for suspension OF
work pending the acceptance or rejec-
tion OF their concliators' credentials.
The fact that two of the representa-
tives of the operators on the Board OF
Cancellation, Messrs. Connell and War
riner, have stated in interviews that
the election of District Presidents Fahy,
Nichols and Dettrey will be satisfactory
to the men representing the operators
on the board, is thought to be sure in
dication that the board will have nc
trouble In organizing and getting to
work Immediately after the convention.

BASE BALL.

The Tigers played at Berwick on Sat
urday, but failed to maintain the repu-
tation they made in that town some
years ago for good ball playing, as they
lost the game by score OF ID to b.
VanAken and Boyle were the battery
for the Freeland team and the former
pitched a good game Poor support was
rendered at critical times, which per-
mitted the Berwick boys to run up
large score.

team for the season. Joseph Jacquot

Four innings were played at Jeddo
yesterday by the Tigers and Hazleton

game been played to the end.
Rain spoiled pretty contest at Park
View yesterday afternoon, in which
Drifton lead Audenried by a score OF 2
to 0. The elements put stop to the
game at the end of the third inning.

ROUND THE REGION.

Bishop Hoban, in his sermon in
Scranton cathedral yesterday, touched
on the evidences of municipal corrup-
ton that were brought forth at a recent
libel trial in that city. He called upon
the people to take greater interest in
the affairs OF the city and to labor to
raise the standard of civic righteousness
to point where such corruption will no
longer be possible.
The strike Of the mine workers at the
Red Ash coliery, near Wilkesbarrs, was

clals have agreed to abandon work in
all chambers where the $l.2O rate pre-
walls.
Rev. John Cavanaugh, street
preacher, used bugle to attract his
audiences. The contact of the bugle
formed cancer on his lip. Mr. Cava-

operation at Scranton hospital for the
removal of the cancer. He now uses a
steel triangle to attract attention.
The upsetting of boat on Harvey's

ing to Patrick Masterson, aged years,

and another man were in the boat, and
the accident happened while the men
were trying to exchange seats.
