ADOPT WAGE SCALE
TO BE PRESENTED AT CONFER
 ENCE.
Miners Are silent As To Mnar Soh- fer Little From the
 Present.

Birmingham, June 15.-(Special)- The convention of the Alabama dis trict organization of the United Mine Workers of America, today adopted wage scale for 1906-07 to be presented at the joint conference of operators and miners which will be held Monday morning at II o'clock. While tfe miners are silent as to what the con tract contains 1t is learned that there is great similarity in the new scale and the one now in erect.
 The present contract is on the slid ing basis, ranging from AZ l-2 cents 10 57 1-2 cents per ton for mining, the ss to sl150 per ton, being the basis. The maximum wage has been In effect for the past four months. It Is stat ed that the principal dinerence m tae af feet now is in the differentials, that is a diferential in wage where coal varies in size or has faults or there are other differences.
 That there Is great similarity in the contract just formulated and the one in effect Is attested to by the fact that the convention was in executive seS- sion less than two hours today in the operators.
 Reports were received from various committees today. The committee on grievancies declined to endorse resolu- tions of local union which sought to condemn furnace companies for bring ing foreign labor into the district to take up the work in the mines. Ma tional Board Members W R. FatrIey stated in convention that such reso- lutions might inture the cause of the union miners and might be a barrier to settlement of the strike. The special committee appointed to draft resolutions on the first letter sent to the miners by Chief Mine Inspector J M. Cray in regard to new mining rules which would be enforced. made re- port this afternoon
 The inspector was criticized and 3 general protest was entered againsl the adoption or enforcement of the tor. The conclusion of the report wss as follows: We desire to say in an- swer to Inspector Gray that neither personally or collectively, do we in tend to help dig our own graves by accepting certain rules prescribed bS him and deprive our wives and chil, dren of the support and tender care oi husband and father."
 The convention adjourned this after noon to meet Monday at Il o'clock when the joint conference will take place. Only one furnace company operator has signified intentions ol being present. The operators asso, ciation among the commercial coa mines, has had meetings during this mittee will meet the miners and as certain their scale.
 Despite the fact thae the union min CTS ore far from being in mapority 1T the mining fields of Alabama now con siderable interest is being manifested in the outcome of the Joint confer enee to be held on Monday
