UNION MINERS ARE WARNING
Plan to Accept Cards From Western
Federation Defeated by United
Mine Workers
BY Associated Press.


INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19.-The con-
Vention of the United Mine Workers o;
America today continued consideration
Of resolutions. One of the most i'm
portant taken up was a resolution ia
voring the acceptance of transfer cards
from the Western Federation of Miners
in lieu of an initiation fee. 1t was
claimed on behalf of the resolution that
the refusal of the U. M. w. of A. to
accept the cards of the Western Fed
GRAFTON worked great hardship to west
ern miners on account of the frequency
with which they changed camps. One
of those to support the resolution was
Delegate Germer of Iowa.
During his argument to the conven-
tion he made the statement that the
present situation between the two or
ganizations was caused by an antag-
onism between their officials which had
not as yet descended to the rank ana
file.
when the federation stops its efforts
to tear us down and stops sending its
members to take the places of our strilz-
ing miners as it did in Colorado" said
President Mitchell, at will then be time
enough to consider this proposition.
Let them stop taking our jobs"
The proposition to accept the cards
of the Western Federation of Miners
was lost by a decisive vote.
