TO STRIKE OR NOT
IS QUESTION TO
MINERS
Delegates Are Again in ses-
sion-Day of Grace is
April /.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
indianapolis, Ind, March 15.-The
national. convention of the United
Mine Workers Of America opened at
10 o'clock today in the German house
with over 1000 delegates present, rep
resenting 1,461 locals. The convention
has been called by President Mitchell
to consider the action which may re-
suit in an agreement with the coal
operators that will prevent a general
strike on April l, that would bring
425,000 men from the mines. At the
convention which assembled Jan. 16,
the miners demanded an increase in
wages of 12zs per cent, the admission
OF the southwestern states Z per cent
differential between machine and pick
mining, 1914 per cent advance for
yardage and dead work, the prohibi-
ton of the employment of boys under
sixteen years old, an eight hour day,
one year contract and a run-of-mine
basis.
The miners also adopted a resolu-
ton offered by Ryan Of Illinois that
no district should sign a wage agree
ment until all the districts agreed to
sign. This action, known as the Ryan
resolution, will come before the con-
vention for action. Unless it is re-
scinded, the bituminous miners cannot
sign the wage agreement until the
anthracite miners sign an agreement
with their operators. The operators,
on the other hand, demand a reduction
of from 10 to is per cent, protection
against stampeded strike and bet
ter system of adjudicating local trou-
bles
When the convention met today the
differences that have appeared to ex-
list between President Mitchell and
Vice President Lewis were apparently
, laid aside.

that it contains amendments of such
character that if any member made
the point of order it would have to go
to the committee on territories under

nificent remark that people seemed to
forget that there is a three-months'
session of the present congress-re-
ferring to the coming short session
in which the two houses might get to-
gether on the statehood bill.
The reference to the short session
is taken to mean that should the eau
