attempting to get advertising in order
to sell his books, and refuted the
charge that he was a scandal monger.
He said he was on the isthmuS two
days and spent most of the time inves-
tigating sanitary conditions.
Landed in Swamp.
He stated the labOrers were landed
in an ooZy swamp of a pestilential
character, and asserted the sanitation
was of the worst sort. He thought he
had been in grave danger there be-
cause of the fact that Secretary Taft
and Gov. Magoon had not been through
these SwampS and there must have
been some good reason for their avoid
ance of those places.
He said that TO use the names of
persons who helped him get infOrma-
ton would subject them to embarrass-
ment.

Routine Business Taken Up BY Big
Convention in Session at In

Indianapolis. Jan. 1S.-The United

committee reports today and began
routine The morning was largely Civ
en- to the consideration of resolutions
and constitutional questions. When
the scale committee took up the reso-
lutions submitted to it, ii was found
most of them favored demanding 10 to
Is per cent increase in wages. and in
dications are the demand will be plac-
ed at a figure between the two.
Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 18.-The or
ganization of a wage scale committee.
which was effected at meeting last
night, was the first step toward the
paramount business of the convention
of the United Mine Workers. This com
mittee has been subdivided, and at a
meeting of the general committee re-
ports of these subcommittees will be
sifted and the demands of the miners
placed in proper form and reported To
the convention Saturday morning. An
increase in wages viii be the princi-
pal feature of the report
About Machine Mining.
One of the demands TO be made Will
be that the differential between pick
and machine mining be reduced.
In Ohio 75 per cent of the coal min
ed last year was by machines, an in
crease of II per cent over the previ-
Gus year. While the miners are work
ing half time, the production of coal
in that state last year was two tons
per capita. while five years ago it was
only one.
Ohio delegates declare the differen-
tial of Is cents a ton should be wiped
out. or half the miners will be driven
out of business.
Demand From Illinois.
The Illinois operators will present
counter proposition to the miners of
that state. They will demand that the
miners secure the repeal of the shot
firers' law and accept the double
standard for mining. This would give
the operators the option of paying on
a mine-run basis or on screened coal.
The miners say the operators are mere
ly presenting these issues for trading
purposes in the joint convention
