MINERS SCALE.
This Important Question Comes
Up Soon.
The United Mine Workers Of America
Meet in indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 3l.-Th,
coming convention Of the United mine
workers of America, which will bs
held in this city in January, promise,
to be one of the most important gath
crings in the history Of the organise
tion-important especially because OF
the contention that will arise over the
adopion Of scale for 1905.
1t is no secret that the miners' del
egates are coming to the convention
with instructions to ask for further
increase in the wage scale and that
the operators are not only determined
that no further increase shall be grant
ed, bat will demand a substantial re-
duct on.
After two weeks Of contention, in
which both the operators and the
m liners receded to some extent from
their demands. the wage scale was
adopted one year ago and gave an
increase of 25 cents on the ton. The
operators at the time warned the
miners that the effect of such . rsdi-
cal increase in wages would be de-
creased consumption Of coal and Q con-
sequent decreased demand for labor.
Tbe iuorease grnntad ehe m iners WA
promptly placed on the product and
coal went to prices that il never be-
fore had reached.
Dealers in all the larger towns and
cities report q smaller consumption
Of coal than usual A direct result Of
this condition 10 said to be the loss Of
more time by the miners and q conse-
quent reduction in the total amount
of the wage they received.

FOUND BOX OF GOLD COIN
From the Marion Prees.

AoAA thp <@sesA Aoa< ANe@%
A few days ago quite . rich find of
gold was unearthed over in Union
county, near the town of Sullivan. 1t
has been known for years that Uncle
Jimmie Lamb, the grandfather Of our
sheriff. ]. Watt Lamb, had a large
quantity Of gold concealed somewhere
about his premises, ut his coal mine Q
short distance from Sullivan. Recent
ly the old gentleman died, and his
heirs began a search for the hidden
treasure. 1t is also known that Mr..
Lamb had repeatedly removed his
treasure to different places of conceal
ment, keeping his wife advised, il is
supposed, as to its place of hiding.
His fatal illness, however, having
been Of rather sudden character, he
failed to disclose the place Of final
oonoealment; hence the recent success
full search.
The garden attached to the old gen
tleman's late residence was the place
selected for the hiding, and this plot
Of ground was thoroughly gone over
until finally the right spot was reached
and tin box containing s2.655 in
gold coin was disclosed to view.
