MIXERS TO CONVENE.
At Pottsville on the Ninth They will Decide
Whether to Declare Strike.
tBy the Associated Pres. }

Wllkesbarre, Pa, June 3.-At the morn.
ing session of the three anthracite boards
of the United Mine Workers, there was
little done outside of outlining plans as
to what course was best to pursue This
afternoon they met again, when they de-
cided to hold a joint convention Of miners
at Pottsvllle, on June 18th, for the pur-
pose of determining whether or not a
general suspension of work shall be de-
clared. They were in session up to five
o'clock and no statement was made by
them outside of the bare announcement
OF the dcision to hold joint convention
When District President Fahey, the
chairman of the Miners representatives
on the Cancellation Board was shown the
statement tonight of the operators mem
bers on that board he made the follow
ing statement to the Associated Press
There was no meeting of the stock
holders of the coal companies called for
the purpose OF appointing the operators
side on the Cancellation board, but the
representatives of the stockholders, the
officials of the company met and selected
their representatives. The Mine Workers
selected their members, not by calling
meeting of all their members or stock
holders, but by their organization through
their representatives as provided for the
award of the Coal Strike Commission. We
raise no question as to the manner in
which the operators selected their rep-
resentatives, and we at least hoped for
the same treatment at their hands Our
understanding is that miners and opera
tors shall stand on equal footing in every
way on the board of conciliaticn."
The following statement was given to
the Associated Press this evening by the
representatives of the operators:
The representatives of the operators
have been appointed strictly within the
terms of the award and there is no 0b-
lection on their part to cordially accept
ing Messrs. Nichols, Dettrey and Fahey
as the representatives of the miners, pro-
viding they are elected by a majority
of the mine workers as specified in the
award of the Commission. The objec-
ton is solely against their appearing as
the Official representatives of the United
Mine Workers of America by an execu-
tive committee without authority for such
appointment.
The operators representatives feel that
it is highly important that the forma-
ton of the board of Cancellation be accept
ed by both interested parties as strictly
IN accordance with the award of the COM
mittee in order mat its rulings may be
received without question, and not be
open to the criticism of having been made
by board not fully qualified to act"

this statement: 81 have just returned
from San Antonio and Austin Texas
where / went to make answer to the very
sensational charges filed Will the Attorney
General of that State against the King
Crowther Corporation and telegraphed
broadcast throughout the country. That
these charges, so sensational and damag-
ing were conceived of blackmail and born
of malice would be apparent to any one
familiar With all the facts in the case. For
the carping criticism and slanderous pub
hcations in irresponsible newspapers, care
not but will afford each in its turn oppor-
tunity to make answer before a court of
justice, however, it is distasteful in the
extreme to me to see certain reputa BILE
newspapers misled to the extent that they
echo and give notice to these outrageous
lies. The Texas incident simply means
that the King Crowther Corporation is
called upon to defend itself against ma
licious and INSCRIPTIONS blackmailers.
and the fact that the great hue and cry
for the appointment of a receiver disap-
peared in the thin air before it was called
in the district court in San Antonia is evil
dence that there will not be a greasy spot
left of the defamers swhen the smoke and

was made to that firm, as the lowest

which one of the officials of the depart

While am of the opinion that you are
not forbidden by any statute from award
ing the contract under consideration to
the lowest bidder / must not be under
stood as advising you that you arc under
any legal obligation to do so. The matter
is one of administrative judgment and
