NATIONAL CONVENTION COMING.

1t VIII Work on President Roosevelt in
Washington.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-A national con-
vention at Washington for the purpose
of impresSing on President Roosevelt the
urgent need for immediate relief from the
cided on today at a conference here. The
call will be issued probably. Monday by
Mayor Maybury, Of Detroit, as chairman
of the permanent committee of the De-
troit coal convention. 1t was this COM
mittee which today agreed on the neces-
sity for a national meeting at the capital.
1t was voted to reconvene the Detroit
convention at Washington at the earliest
practicable date. This decision followed
speeches, in which Attorney General
Knox was censured, it being alleged he
had not enforced the laws by which, it
was urged, redress could be secured.
The permanent committee of the De-
troit conference consists of Robert H.
Maybury, mayor of Detroit; E. w. White,
10. L. Lain. Senator Mason, Judge Bunne,
Chicago; Father Condor. Reedsburg,
of Detroit; w. c. P. Breckenridge, Ken
lucky; George Alexander. Providence. R.
l., and Judge W. A. Babcock. Cleveland.
All were present save MesSrs. Brecken-
ridge, Babcock and Alexander Mayor
Maybury said:
eiThe convention will not be confined to
the delegates who attended the Detroit
convention. In addition it is the purpose
of the committee to ask the chambers of
commerce. boards of trade and other civic
organizations of the country to send dele
gates. In addition, the governors of all
the states and mayors of all the larger
cities will be asked to designate repre-
sentativeS.''
The speeches indicated that the con-
vention at Washington would be devoted
largely to the presentation of charges
that Attorney General Knox has failed
to grant the relief that the laws make
possible.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10.-The
senate committee which started out to
lay bare the cause of the high price
of coal at retail has been almost sup
pressed by the coal interests in the
senate. Senator Stewart, at the close
of the investigation yesterday, said that
it was plain that the coal trust was
selling it's coal through the independ-
ent operators, but he thought the sem
ate was going far enough if it asked
information by letter from President
Baer, of the Reading. In making this
announcement Senator Stewart re-
ferred to President Baer as head of
the coal trust" but he hastily correct
ed himself as he looked around to see
if any one was listening, and said, "the
president of the Reading Coal COM
pany."
Charles Moore, clerk of the commit
tee, then sent letter to the head of
the coal trust, asking him if he would
inform the senate by return mail why
it was that the railway company could
get dear coal to Washington, but could
not get cheap coal here; also why that
was in other cities. The committee eX-
poets an answer at it's meeting on
Monday.
Coal Influence overpowering.
The coal influence in the senate is so
strong that the hearings have lost in
terest. Those who were in earnest at
first, now show Indifference as to the
results. The Republicans frankly say
that on Monday the hard fight with
Senator Vest for a reduction of the
duty on coal will be resumed and they
do not want the merits of the contro-
versy confused with sympathy with the
poor who are compelled to pay>from $40
to $50 a ton for coal. They say that
Senator Vest is speaking in the name
of humanity, but in reality he is try
ing to force the Republicans into a
position where they will admit that
reduction of the tariff is one of the
cures for trust abuses.
Senator Lodge made the mistake of
offering a resolution to reduce the tar
- iff on coal temporarily Senator AID
rich is quoted as saying, because he
admitted that that action might help in
relieving the general situation. We do
not want to help Senator Vest further
by making the coal combine directly
responsible for these unnatural prices"

Writes to Senator.
MILWAUKEE. Jan 10-A movement
was started in Milwaukee today to secure
10000 tons of anthracite coal with which
to relieve the shortage here within a
week. A meeting was held at the office
banks in the city were represented. The
bankers propose to furnish the capital for
payment of the coal and sell the product
to those. in need of it at the cost price
about 81 per ton. The plan is to have
the coal transported to the east shore OF
Lake Michigan and thence by car ferry
direct to Milwaukee.
The following message was sent today
to United States Senator Joseph QuarleS
by Mayor David S. Rose:
1.-The people of our city are confronted
by coal famine and it Is working great
hardship. We are endeavorIng to arrange
to purchase coal in Canada. The tax is
6712 cents per ton. Is it not possible to
secure the immediate passage of a reSolu-
tion through congress at least suspend
ing the collection of the duty on hard
coal? A bill ought to be passed putting
hard coal on the free list If we can get
the resolution it will work immediate
benefit. / do not think that the true con-
ditions are realized. Great suffering is
resulting from the famine and we look
to the future with alarm. Will you take
this matter up yourself, apply to the
proposition the perseverance and energy
that l know you possess if 1t meets with
your approval and do what you can to
relieve these conditions?"
About 800 Social Democrats of Milwau-
kee held a mass meeting tonight to con-
slider the situation. Speeches were made
by Rev. Carl D. Thompson, of Denver,
Col, and Winfield R. Gaylord and Victor
Berger, of this city. Resolutions were
