committees have been at work all day
shaping up matters for tomorrow's

Many have been asking for new in

will be presented to the convention
tomorrow. John Mitchell tonight re.

Of the resolutions. A delegate said
that one feature is referring strike

The convention tomorrow has the pow
er to order a strike, but Mitchell and
the other national officers are violent
ly opposed to 1t. II is said tonight,
however, that large majority Of the
