Philadelphia, April 1.-The award
of the anthracite coal strike commits
sion went into full effect yesterday
throughout the anthracite coal region.
The Inauguration OF the new condi.
tions was generally observed as a
holiday in the southern fields, almost
all of the mines in that district being
idle. In several towns parades and
mass meetings were held. In the
middle and upper regions some OF the
colleries were not operated, but most
of the mine workers reported for duty.
As rule the readjustment of hours
and other conditions was effected with
but little difficulty. At some places
there was friction, but 1t is expected
that whatever difficulty still exists
will be Strengthened out in a few days.
In the region where the Readings col
lieries are situated there is some
trouble regarding the establishment
of the three shifts, increasing the work
among the firemen as ordered by the
commission. Until yesterday the fire.
men have worked twelve hours and
1t is alleged by some of the flremen
that in making up the third shift of

duced.

Although affairs at Mitrovitza and

vicinity of Sandjak and Navibazar is
liable to lead at any moment to an
extension of Austrian occupation over

DEMOCRATS AT A BANQUET.
Bryan and Stevenson Present at Des

Molnes on the I'd.
Des Moines, April 3.-Democrats
from all over the state were in at
tendance at the Jeffersonian ban
luet at the Slavery house last night.
Among the notable attendance were
w. J. Bryan and Adlai e. Stevenson,
who made addresses. The address
Of Mr.. Stevenson was devoted to a
plea for harmony between the exist
ing factions Of the party, while Mr..
Bryan declared that there could be
no harmony that meant the surrender
Of principles and no alliance with
those democrats whose sympathies
are with the plutocratic element.
Addresses were also made by Gen
eral ]. B Weaver; who came from
Louisiana to be present; ]. ]. Shea, of
Council Bluffs; J. B. Sullivan of Ores

ter.
During the afternoon the Kansas
City platform democrats effected an
organization. An address was made
by Mr. Bryan, whose remarks regard.
ing the boilers of 1896 and 1900 were
loudly applauded.
The plan of organization mapped
out by Mr.. Rinehart was to select a
chairman for each district, these
chairmen in turn to name county
chairmen, and to organize by electing
state officers. The county chairmen
In turn will organize the townships
and precincts.
The second district was not rep.
resented. The chairman of the other
districts were named as follows:

Seventh-H. c. Evans of Des
Moines.
Eighth--E. J. Sankey of Leon.
Ninth. J. Shea of Council Bluffs.
Tenth-P. II. Donlon Of Emmets
burg.
Eleventh-Earl Bronson of Spencer.
The district chairmen then met
and organized by electing Mr.. Rine
hart as chairman for the state of the
district organizations. He was au.
thorized to select a secretary, and as
it was thought wise to have the head
officers in the same town or close to
gether, o. p Myers of Newton was
made treasurer.
Each district committeeman was
authorized to appoint chairman for
each county and report to the state
organization within ten days. At the
afternoon meeting s55 was raised as
nucleus for campaign fund, and at
the banquet in the evening a much
larger sum was raised, so that the
campaign will start with several hun.
bred dollars in the treasury.
Discussing the movement of the
Kansas City platform forces to or.
ganize, following the conference, Mr.
Bryan said the same policy of organi.
cation was being carried on through
out the country. He said a number
of states had already started along
the same line, and reports from
many localities indicated that organ
ization was being carried on with en-
thusiasm.
