Reviews Events That Have
Transpired Since Strike.
ARRAIGNS THE OPERATORS
For Refusal to Accept the Award Of the Strike
Commission in Broad, LibsraI and Fair
Spirit, and Defends Course
of Miners
(By the Associated Press.)

Scranton, Pa, June 15.-The special
convention of the United Mine Workers
of the three anthracite districts, called for
the purpose of dealing with the refusal of
the operators to recognize the conclliators
appointed by the joint executive board,
opened here today with national President
John Mitchell presiding and $40 delegates
in attendance. The Cancellation matetr
and all other grievances the different dis
tricts want to have considered. were re-
fused on resolutions. This committee met
tonight and viii present report for re-
vision of adoption at tomorrow's session.
The sentiment almost unanimously eX-
pressed in the motions and speeches was
in favor of the convention itself with en-
odrsing the action of the executive board
and leaving it to the operators to accept
the three district presidents as conclhatOrs
or take the consequences of the refusal.
Not few of the delegates declared openly
for a strike to enforce acceptance OF the
district president credentials as they now
stand
In opening the convention this after
noon, President Mitchell made a brief
speech, reviewing the events that have
transpired since the close of the strike and
making suggestions as to what plan of
procedure the convention should follow.
He said in part:
1T is needless to say that the refusal
of the coal operators to accept the award
of the strike commission, in broad, lib
eral, fair spirit, is deep disappointment
to me. had hoped that after the award
was made, each side would accept it. and
carry out its provisions to the last letter
l desire to say that if the mine workers
had refused to carry out even so much as
the slightest provision of that award I
would be the first man to condemn them
for such conduct We expected to keep
it's provisions inviolate. When we are
ready to live up to the award, 1t is not
unreasonable for us to ask the operators
to do the same
Secretary George Hartlein followed with
a spirited speech, in which he provoked
resounding cheers by declaring: 4 can
see six months strike in every one of
your faces to get what we are entitled to.
co,ored delegate, William Tarr, of
Shamokin, arose to protest against Secre-
tary Hartlein talking strike. We've had
enough of strike. We've had our belly
full of it," he declared. What we're here
for is to avoid strike. We're not looking
for bother"
Tarr was interrupted frequently with
cries of Put him out" and the like; and
he had been induced to subside, delegate
arose and formally made a motion to eject
him from the hall. President Mitchell
smiled and went on with the business.
The whole question finally was referred
to the committee on resolutions and the
convention adjourned until o'clock to-
morrow
