Joint Meeting of Union Miners

Die Without ReachingAgree-
ment and Big Battle Appears
Certain Strike to Involve
All of United States.

Indianapolis, 1nd, Feb. 8.-Imme-
diately following the sensational end
ing Of the joint convention of miners
and operators that failed to reach an
agreement, the United Mine Workers
convention. was called together in ex-
| traordinary session to perfect plans for
the fight and to insure that the $13,-
900, 900 strike fund will all be on hand
by April i.
There is also a fight on to oust Pat
rick Dolan, spokesman for the Penn
in voting for the scale offered by the
operators in the joint conference
"A strike of the $4,000 members Of
the United Mine Workers by April 1 is
| inevitable" declared Thomas Haggerty,
member Of the Miners National Board
from Pennsylvania. I'VE have decided
to strike and we shall do so and win
the fight"
81 a Week Assessment.
Before the mine workers convention
adjourned sine die Saturday afternoon
it voted to raise defense fund of
$6, 100000 by the assessment of 81 a
week until April on every miner be-
longing to the union.
The United Mine Workers already
have in their treasures s6,500.o0o. So
by April 1 the miners will have to-
tai defense fund Of $4,000, 900.
There waa alnnnst two h1urs oF 5ro

ers took the leading parts.
Robbins took the floor and said: IT
want to go on record in this closing of
a movement with which I have been
connected many years."
He said the operators had done all
they could in their offer to renew the
present scale or to base a settlement
on the selling price now and two years
ago.
In replying to Robbins Mitchell said:
1T seems now that there is nothing
left for us to do but to go home and
do the best we can to overcome tho
seeming unsurmountable obstacles" =

then.
Mitchell Announces Refusal.
When the conference was resumed
President Mitchell of the miners an
nounced that the miners had refused
to accept a continuance Of the present
scale.
F. L. Robbins of Pittsburg moved
that the present scale be affirmed with
the same prices and conditions for the
year beginning April /. Mr.. Taylor,
an Illinois operator, moved an amend
ment, which was the same proposition
that had~been previously offered and
rejected. The amendment was lost the
operators and miners voting solidly.
F. L. Robbins then took the floor. He
said he wante dto go on record, as 1t
seemed the future of the interstate
movement was in peril.
Fighting Speech by Robbins.

A good reputation is good invest

permanent investment of good reputa-

often easier to get a character that
shall be the basis of a good name. A
man may inherit his fathers riches, but
man cannot bequeath his character

THE new GOVERNOR
OF OKLAHOMA
S IN
Hon. F. Frantz Takes Oath Of
Office Amid Enthusiastic y
Demonstration.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 15.-The largest
crowd that ever saw an Inauguration
in Oklahoma and every detail of an
elaborate program carried out to the
letter were the salient features of the
installation of Governor Frank Frantx
today. Flags fluttered from scores of
business houses along the line OF
march and enthusiasm ruled.
civic and military parade preceded
the inaugural ceremonies. The latter
were held in Brooks opera house at an
early hour this afternoon. The house
was crowded in every part long before
the hour set for the ceremony, while
in front of the building was to be seen
a pushing, surging mass of humanity.
The crowd included hundreds of visit
ors from out of town, among them be-
ing large delegation from the new
governors home town of Enid.
The appearance of Governor Frantz
on the stage was the signal for an out
burst of applause, long, loud and gen
uine. The oath of Office was adminis-
tered by Chief Justice Burford of the
Supreme Court. After about five min
utes, and when the applause had sub
sided, the governor delivered his In
iaugural address. At the close of Gov
ernOr F'rantzS address he was cheered
to the echo The platform was then
crowded with many admirers of the
former Rough Rider, who congrath-
lated him heartily. The inaugural fes-
tivities, which have been the most bril-
liant in the history of the territory,
close this evening with reception
and ball.
Captain Frank Frantz, the new gov
ernor of Oklahoma, is but thirty-thrNe
years old. He is a na;.ye of Woodford
county, Illinois, from which state he
removed to Wellington, Kas., in 1880.
He mined for several years in Califor-
MIA, Arizona and New Mexico. In 1888
lie went to Oklahoma. The Spanish
American war aroused his patriotism
and he enlisted in Arizona as q pr3-
vate. Governor McCord appointed him
first lieutenant. He was again pro
NOTED by Colonel Roosevelt for gal-
lantry and efficiency in battle. The
president made him postmaster Or
! Enid in 1902 and later appointed him

Indians. ~

to consider reform legislation, assem-,

be held in the new state capitol build

enable contiguous cities In the same
counties to be united into one munich

by banks, trust companies and similar
institutions for the use of state moneys
and to protect deposits; to reappOrtion

the government officials Of the first
class and the proper distribution of
the power exercised. by such municipal
officials, The reapportionment of the
state is the only matter likely to pro-
yoke much discussion. s.,% X
Almost without exception the men,
bers favor quick action and an early
adjournment. Many of them favor
three sessions day, including Satur-
day, SO that the work may be exped-.
lated. The cutting OF of free railroad
passes prevents nine-tenths Of the
members from returning home over
Sundays as; has been the custom in
the past, and as the compensation Is
the same for an extra session, whether
the session be long or short, the In
