nois division of the United Mine
Workers of America met in delegate
convention in this city this morning
at 10 O'Clock. An aggregate member
ship of about 90. 600 are Represented by
several hundred delegates. There is
nothing of special Importance to come
before the meeting. but there are nu-
merous matters demanding attention.
The sessions are likely TO last several
DAYS, as officers are sto be elected and
various reports to be heard and ac-
cepted. The contracts with the opera
tors of the state, which hold good for
another year, remove the possibility
of trouble over wages or conditions OF
labor. The Zeigler controversy is the
only matter of vital concern to come
up for consideration and action. The
annual report of Secretary Treasurer
RYAN shows that the organization is
in good shape throughout Illinois and
has accomplished much in the last
twelve months. The outlook is stated
to be more peaceful than it has been
for some time Financially the organ
ization is in better condition than it
ever has been before. The expenses
are less than they have been for sew
real years and fewer miners are unem-
ployed than is ordinarily the case.
