WANT LARGE
 DEFENCE FUND
Committee of United Mine
 Workers to Report Soon
CONFER WITH OPERATORS
This Will Probably be Held Friday as it Is Expected the Convention Will be Finished Thurs
 day of This Week.

Indianapolis. January 25.-President Mitchell, said tonight he thought there was no doubt that the United Mine Work CTS would be through all their convention work Thursday. and the miners would be ready for the conference with the operators Friday.
 Members of the defense fund commit- tee say tonight the committee will re- port in favor of large fund. Sugges- tions to the committee recommend that fund of from $2, LOGO, GOO to $5,o0O, 900 be main- tained. Numerous plans are suggested. The one which finds most favor with the delegates is to invest the money now in the treasury In bonds and other gilt edged securities drawing good rates of in terest, which can be realized on at once in case of necessity.
 It Is the universal demand that large national defense fund be raised and main tained, but the majority Of the delegates are opposed to any plan which takes the money out of circulation and ties it up in banks and other Repositories, which pay no interest. The greater number of the delegates are also in favor of creat- Ing state or district defense fund. The objection to the present plan, aside from the fact that it keeps the money lying idle, is that many of the locals consider 1t optional with them whether they pay the assessments and the defense fund committee will probably recommend that the payments of all such assessments be made mandatory.
 This committee is composed of the vari- ous presidents of the various districts of the association.
 The powder question promises to be one with which the convention will have to cope before its sessions are ended. Much dissatisfaction is heard from every section on the price which the miners have to pay for powder. The cost of powder to the miner now Is $l.75 per keg. A man will use from one to two kegs a week and he must pay for 1t himself The present price is regarded as too high.
