THAT OLD TROUBLE
Operators Refuse to Recognize
Union Chosen Men.
FOR THE CANCELLATION BOARD
Miners Call Joint Convention For
June 18th to Decide Whether
Work at the Mines Shall Be sus.
pended.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June AT We'd
nesday's session of the three anthra.
cite boards OF the United Minework.
ers there was little done outside Of
outlining plans as to what course was
best to pursue. In the afternoon they
met again, when they decided to hold
joint convention of miners at Potts.
vile on June 10 for the purpose of de-
terminipg whether or not general
suspension of work shall be declared.
They were in session up to S o'clock
and no statement was made by them
out OF the bare announcement of tha
decision to hold joint convention.
When District President Fahey, the
chairman of the miners representa-
hives on the Cancellation board, was
shown the statement last night of the
operators, members on that board he
made the following statement to the.
Associated Press: There was no
meeting of the stockholders of the coal
companies called for the purpose of
appointing the operators side on the
Cancellation board, but the representa-.
tives OF stockholders, the officials of
the company met and selected their
representatives. The mineworkers Sc
lected their members, not by calling a
meeting OF all their members or stock
holders, but by their organization,
through their representatives as en-
powered by the rules and regulations
OF their organization, which does exist,
and as provided by the award Of the
coal strike commission.
Operators Statement.
The following signed statement was
given to- the Associated Press last
evening, as the operators side of the
controversy, caused by the refusal of
the operators representatives on the
Cancellation board to accept the rep
resentatives Of the United Minework-
ers:
Referring to the official announce
ment OF the representatives of the
United Mineworkers of America as
given in the press, the contention OF
the operators representatives elected
to the board of Cancellation is that the
recognition Of the United Mineworkers
OF America was not one of the ques-
lions submitted to the commission for
DECISIONS; that Mr. Mitchell admitted
this by appearing before the commits

Nobody had noticed Maria, the duen-

Interrupted the luncheon. During tho
scene she stole behind him, as if she
anticipated what he would do, or sus-
pected that he might do it, and when
he drew back his hand to cast the
weapon she tore the implement from
him and left him harmless.
In the excess of passion under which
the Mexican struggled it is not strange
that his rage turned upon the woman
who had disarmed him. He wheeled
like lightning and seized her by the
throat with both hands, but his fingers
had scarcely time to tighten before
