STUDYING CONSTRUCTION
OF C0MMISSIOk'S AWARD
District Committees in Anthracite Re-
gions Putting Interpretation Up
on It.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. April Gothic ex-
ecutive boards of districts Nos. 1, and
9, of the United Mine Workers OF
America, which districts embrace the
entire anthracite coal region, had their
first joint conference here tonight since
the strike commission made its award.
The purposes OF the convention is to
interpret so far as the miners organl-
Zation have authority to do so the varI-
Gus features of the award.
President Mitchell, who arrived from
the west during the afternoon, presided
at the meeting. The principal point IN
dispute is the Interpretation of the
nine-hour work day for all mine work
ers who are employed by the day, Week
or month. There has been much fric-
ton in the three districts over this
question, and the matter reached an
acute stage today when the Philadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron coni-
pany shut down nearly all its collieries
in the Schuylkill region because the
men would not accept the interpreta-
tion of the company relative to the
nine-hour day.
About 10000 men were rendered idle
in the Schuylkill region by the COM
pany's action Another grievance made
known here tonight is the alleged re-
fusal of Cox Brothers & CO., in the
middle coal field, to permit the miners
to employ a check weighman. The
award of the commission makes it COM
pulsory for operators to employ at the
expense of the miners a check weigh
man whenever requested by a majority
of the men at any colliery. The joint
conference will appoint tomorrow three
persons, one from each of the three
districts. to represent the miners on the
board of concilia ton. as provided for
by the strike commission.

The freight was drawn by two en-
gines Some trouble was experienced
in entering the siding, and the fore
most engine of the freight was sent in
along the siding with a fiagman to
hold the express. 1t is alleged that the
operator in the tower, Lawrence Vale,
a boy seventeen years of age, saw the
light of the engine of the freight.
which was bringing UP the flag, and
supposed the freight was on the sid
ing behind it, Vale then displayed a
white signal towards the passenger
train indicating to the engineer that
he had clear track. The engineer on
the passenger train failed to see the
hagraan sent out from the forward en-
gine of the freight train, and saw only
the clearance signal from the tower.
The train ran toward the east end OF
the siding at high speed. and collided
with the second engine of the freight
train just as it was about to clear the
main line.
The passenger engine and some of the
coaches crashed into 4 small wooden
structure used as a feed store and
school house. The first half dozen cars
of the freight train were wrecked
They were box cars. loaded with COAL
The coal filed in amongst the wreck

three of the cars of the express train
followed the engine, and the whole
mass of the wreckage was soon in
flames. The tracks were strewn for
rods with burning wood aid coal, and

a collision between a passenger train
and a freight train on the Erie rail-

has been identified. Seven others, ap-
parently those of three men, three
women and a child, We're burned be-

which followed the wreck. The women
are said to have boarded the train at
Youngstown, and to have come from
Pittsburg.
R. S. McCready, a mail weigher of
Meadville, Pa, and Frank Barhite OF
Jamestown, a travelling salesman, are
missing and it is likely two OF the un-
Identified bodies are those of the two
men.
The wrecked passenger train was
known as No. 4, running from Chicago
to New York. The engine was in
charge of Engineer Samuel Cook and
Fireman Fred Bell of Meadville. The
train was made up of one combination
car, two day coaches, three sleepera
and two private cars. The train was
derailed by striking a freight train
which was taking a siding at Red
House. The wreck at once took fire,
and the combination car, two day
coaches and two sleepers together with
several freight cars, were consumed.
There is some dispute as to the cause
of the wreck. The passenger train was
running east and the freight, which
was westbound, had orders to go into
the siding at Red House, and wait for
