Conventions Have Cost
Two Sides Half Million

INDIANAPOLIS. March S0--An rec
ords have been broken by the impor-
tant series of conventions which mine
operators and the employees brought to
a close I'm this city late yesterday. Both
for operators and miners. the conven-
tion has been very costly.
The miners regular convention first
met January 16. and the 1900 delegates
continued in session until January 25.
when The miners met the operators.
numbering about 500. in d joint confer
ence. which lasted until February 2
Roosevelt Reassembled Them.
The miners and operators then return
ed TO their homes. but. at the request
of President Roosevelt, they reassembled
in March. The miners resumed their
deliberations March 10. and. according
10 the miners transportation commit
tees report today. 1,O37 delegates have
been here since then The miners
transportation bill for the reconvened
session was Sl9.520.
Miners delegates are allowed from So
10 So 4 day by their locals. to offset
loss of wages and hotel expenses It
is estimated that at a s. day average.
the two conventions have cost the min
ers' organization 5000
Nearly Half Million.
The expenses Of the operators. not
Including their loss of mOney-making
time. is figured at about $4,000. for the
two conventions. The total cost of the
endeavor 10 settle the mine wage scale,
1t is said. will exceed S450.00O-
Neither the operators nor the miners
organizations have considered the cost
of their meetings. Both sides maintain
that It is great principle for which
they are contending. and that no cost
IS too great TO settle a principle.

Treatment of Perkins.
Some criticism has been mace that
In the arrest of Mr.. Perkins he was
treated with consideration such as
should not have been extended TO a
'felon.' I have yet TO learn that Mr..
Perkins becomes a felon until judgment
OF competent court declares him TO
be such. 1t is said that he was not
searched
THE most elementary knowledge OF
the procedure in criminal arrests would
teach one that the only search that Is
made occurs in two cases: First. when
It is believed that the person arrested
may have evidence OF the crime about
his person. and secondly when the ar
resting officer has reason to believe that
the person arrested has on his person
weapons. which he may use In Erecting
his escape
THE officer arresting Mr.. Perkins had
no reason to believe that he had evi-
dence about his person showing the
commission OF a crime. or that he had
dangerous weapons which he was likely
to use in effecting his escape

issued the following statement:
Some of the bit1minous workers who
are now active IN directing matters in
the anthracite industry have asserted at
lines that the wages in the former in
dustry are higher than in the latter.
Mr.. Mitchell has often intimated this.
although he has never given any facts
to support the claim.
1T was claimed before the strike COM
mission that the earnings of the anthra-
cite miners were less than those in the
bituminous fields and similar assertions
have been since made. The commission
found that there has been a failure Of
testimony to support this proposition

1T is established by the official figures
that the earnings of all classes of work.
ers are much higher in the anthracite
than in the bituminous industry. The
last report Of the secretary of internal
affairs of the State of Pennsylvania con-
tains the facts as TO both Industries for
the year 1904 Omitting in the case OF
the anthracite industry the class of EN-

The average earnings of the anthra-
