STRIKE THEIR
ONLY RESORT
Scranton Convention Feeling
Seems to EmbOdy War The
Meeting Yesterday.

SCRANTON, Ia, May 4.LThe SEES
sion of the miners tridlstrict conyen-
ton has revealed that the sentiment Of
practically all of the GOO delegates is
for II strike. 1t is believed that nothing
short of a miracle can prevent a strike
from being declared either this after
moo or Saturday.
During the session President Mitchell
made a statement. in the course Of
which he used the word strike for
the first time since the present negotia-
tons began. He said:
'"The sentiment seems very strong
against accepting the conditions and
restricted arbitration scheme proposed
by the operators or renewing the
award of the anthracite strike commits
sion for three years. The strike feeling
has been intensified by the Unfortunate
and unjustifiable action of the state
~constabulaty at Mount Carmel as well
as by their conduct in other parts of
the coal regions since the suspension
Here In the center of the anthracite
region the people are about %recOnciled
TO the fact that the convention will de-
clare a strike. and the only thing they
feel car positively avert it will be the
recommendation when the real issue
comes that instead of the convention
taking positive action it refer the mat
ter back to the locals for a referendum
vote.
The appearance here of DR.. Charles
p. Neil, United States commissioner
of labor, has given rise to much con-
lecture among the delegates.

He WOULD NOT
BE TEMPTED.
Judge RunyOn, of PIainfiGld Is a
Colby Man In Spite of Rich
Offers by the Machine.

PLAlNFIELD, May 4.-Neither
honors nor riches freely offered by
the regular republican organization
IN the county and state could tempt
Judge William N. Runyon to aban-
don h cause of reform in New DER
sey's politics, though appointments as
surrogate and judge of Union county
lay at his feet. That he would have
none of them is shown by A letter
sent by the popular city Judge to Gov
ernor Stokes last night, in which he
firmly declined to accept any honors
the chief executive of the state had
offered.
Judge Runyon's declination last
night followed his firm refusal of an
appointment to succeed Vail as judge
of Union county rendered in the af-
ternoon by County Chairman Frank
H. Smith, on behalf of Governor
Stokes. This plum was offered
when it was found that the berth of
surrogate at $1,000 a year did not
make the judge waver in the least
from his avoyed determination to ac-
cept nothing from the organization.
When asked why the governor
wanted to give him either one of the
jobs, the judge declared that he could
impute no wrong motives to anyone
but that in his position it would not
be right for him to take Office from
tion when he has %espoused the Colby
principles.
He said that he had left the local
organizations forces because he be-
lieved that there should be more pop
ular government; government with
out dictation from a few men. That
the defeat of John Close was directly
the cause of his joining the Colby
forces, he denied, saying what he
learned at that time opened his eyes
to the real condition of affairs.
When he did retire, according to
his own words, he indtended to stay
out of politics. A few days later
Senator Colby called on him at his
office and urged him to help the cause
of reform. The picture painted by
the senator from Essex at that and
subsequent conferences, Runyon said,
surprised him, and he then deter
mined to do what he could do to
bring about a better condition of af-
fairs politically.
Shortly afterwards he was invited
to the Colby meeting at Elizabeth
and on invitation of Chairman Jones
made a speech in which he pledged
himself to- the reform movement. He
was placed on the committee of five
to arrange a big meeting of Colby
ties, which will be held in Elizabeth
tomorrow night. The Colby League
of Union county will be organized
at that time and 1t is expected that
Runyon will be asked to become per-
manent chairman of the league which
will do battle with the republican or
g%anization next fall.

CLOSED THE DOORS
TO TALK 1T OVER
Senators in Star Session ii Find
Out What Occurred to the
Bacon Resolution.
t(By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON. d, G.. January H.
Before going into executive session to-
day the Senate listened to a speech by
Mr.. Hepburn in support of his bill Great
ing national board for the control Of
corporations, in which he denounced Wall
Street because Of its alleged interference
with the affairs of the country. He said
that when saie Street could not dictate
the financial course of the government, It
was ever ready to threaten disaster, and
he pleaded for legislation that would rob
1t OF such power for evil.
The remainder OF the open session was
devoted to q discussion OF the practice
by the Senate of sending Senate reso-
lutlons to the calendar after they havs
been once under discussion.
Mr. Bacon raised the poi1d that there
was no rule requiring such q course, and
urged that his Moroccan resolution had
been improperly placed on the calendar.
He also contended that the resolution
had not had a days discussion, He chal-
lenged any senator to say that the reso-
luton had ever been discussed,
Mn. Hale admitted that there is no rule
for sending resolutions to the calendar,

Mr.. Morgan, In support Of Mr.. Bacon,
said that the practice Of going into secret
session on such questions would II fol-
lowed, give two senators the power to
secure absolute c1otnre in The Senate.
Continuing, Mr.. Bacon declared that
there was no record that the rsolutlon
had been considered in secret gnTrion.
