Scranton, Pa, May 4.-There seems
but slight hope of peaceful settle
ment OF the controversy in. the anthra-
cite coal field A large number of dele
gates to the United Mine Workers con-
vention express the opinion that Il
strike is their only alternative. A de-
cision is looked for today or tomorrow
at the latest.
President Mitchell is endeavoring to
find a way of obviating extreme meas
ures and he is reticent concerning the
report that the final decision may be by
referendum vote tho it is said the dele
gates are seriously considering that
method.
John Fahy is the only district presi-
dent who has said that he regards the
referendum vote as a likely way to per-,
NIT the workmen themselves TO vote for
or against strike. William Dettrey
does not approve of the method. He
says the delegates are empowered to
vote for their locals and they have hal
every opportunity during the. past
Crisis for Mitchell.
President Mitchell and the leaders
realize that the question before the con-
vention now not only involves the flu
ture of the United Mine Workers as an
organization, but that it will either
strengthen or weaken John Mitchell as
a labor leader.
With the bituminous fight on his
hands as well as the anthracite problem
Mr.. Mitchell is keenly alive to the
gravity of the crisis. tA*E':~a
Fahy and Dettrey, the presidents Of
the Schuylkili and Iehigh districts, arr
outspoken in favor of a strike, and
they voice the feelings of the delegates
from their locals, who are wrought ur
over the shooting of the state police
at Mount Carmel and the riding by
mounted patrols about the roads Of
their districts.
Mitchell Not Hopeful. ."': -.
President Mitchell said today he dit
not seem to have any immediate hop
OF anything that would make for
peaceful outcome of their deliberations
Immediately after assembling toda,
printed copies of the correspondence
between the miners scale committe
and the operators, were distributed i
the convention, after which it wen
into executive session to hear the view
of the delegates.
Every delegate desiring to spea:
will be heard before the vote will
taken upon the question of strike O
no strike.
The delegates resumed their sessio
at ! 80 pm. and are still behind locke
doors. It is possible, in view of tn
fact that no limit has been placed o
speeches, that the session will continu
: into tomorrow.

ALLISON FRAMES
RATE COMPROMISE
Iowa Senator Drafts Court Re
view Amendment to. End
Long Debate.
- w. W. Jermane.

Washington. May 4.-The proposition
to settle the rate debate by the adop-
ton of a compromise amendment pre-
pared by Senator Allison came to public
notice last night, but it had been known
for several days that Senator Allison
had consented to draft an amendment
in accordance with certain views which
he had outlined verbally to members
of the senate, and that such amend
ment would probably be acceptable to
all parties concerned.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota is one
Of those called into conference with
Senator Allison on this question. The
White House, it is claimed, is in ac-
cord with the proposition, and if this
should prove to be the case, then the
rate bill is to be finally disposed of
in short order and without serious op-
position.
Does Not Alter Case.
Senator Nelson, in response to a .ques-
tiontS Of the Journal correspondent
this morning, said that the Allison
meDdment did not provide for broad
cosart review. In Mr.. Nelson's opinion
that amendment does not go any further
than the present house bill, or than the
constitution warrants. It simply ex
tends, the jurisdiction Of the federal cir
cult courts. to the acts Of the inter
state commission, leaving to the courts
to determine for themselves just how
far they ought to review these acts.
| Nelson in Line. 49,
This discretion the courts alread,
have under the constitution, which fac
has been the strong argument agains
any amendment whatever Of the hous
bill. This particular amendment, how
ever, not providing for any enlargement
of the constitutional powers of tn
harmless and entirely acceptable.
This opinion of Senator Nelson 8
significant, because he has made a care
full study of the rate question and ha
made several speeches on it during thi
session, the last one yesterday. H
has been in the confidence of the pres
dent and the senate leaders, and fro1
: the first, has been staunch supporte
of the house bills.
