CONVENTION ENDORSES SCALE
COMMITTEES POSITION ON
WAGE QUESTION.
OUTCOME OF CONTEST AT IN
plANAPoLis STILL SOME.
WHAT DOUBTFUL.

indianapolis, March 30.-When the
national convention of the United
Mine Workers of America was called
to order President Mitchell at once an
nounced the object for which the con-
vention had been called. Said he:
This convention is called that you
may determine what action you may
desire to take on the wage questions,
In view of the present situation. In
the Central competitive district the
operators have offered the present
scale, which was defeated by the min
ers, and a motion is pending In the
Joint conference offered by myself to
restore the scale of 1908 for two years.
"In the Southwest district the dele
gates have proposed a settlement on
the basis of restoration of the day
wage and dead work scale OF 1903,
with an advance of cents ton in the
mining scale at the basing points.
What is the pleasure Of the conven-
tion?"
1t was moved and seconded that the
action of the scale committees be en-
dorsed and after a few questions had
been asked the motion was adopted.
The Effect in Illinois.
A delegate asked how the scale of
1903, if adopted, would affect Illinois
so far as the shotfirers' law was con-
oarnad procidopr Mitchell replied that
it was his understanding that the min
ers would not waive their rights nm
der that law by agreeing to the 1903
scale with same conditions.
The miners then adjourned to meet
in Joint conference with the operators
at 2 p. m.
The action taken by the miners
convention was mere formality, nec-
essary under the rules of the organ
ization, in order that the miners, as
delegates in the joint conference, could
cast their votes in favor of the Nit
chell motion to restore the wage scale
of 1903, which is still pending before
the joint conference. 1t was antici-
pated that this motion would be de-
feated when the vote was taken, as the
operators of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
have throughout adhered positively to
their position that no advance would
be paid by them. AS to what step
would be taken following the. defeat
of the Mitchell motion in joint confer
ence any prediction would have been
nothing more than guess.

ignorant of Cause for Crime.

Siekuloff, when questioned, claimed
that all of the men were very good
friends and professed entire ignorance
as to what could have been the cause
Of the murders. He says that there
are no other Bulgarians in this part of
the country. He knows of no Grim
fnal organization or feud that could
have prompted the murders. All had
money, having been working for two
months at Alborn. OF the six men
left at Minneapolis four were brothers
named Jaless, Asked If they had had
trouble with any persons in Minneap-
oils he said they had not. AS to the
articles of a religious significance
found in the house he said his people
all belonged to the Bulgarian church
and carried these things with them
always and held services among them
selves. The men will be held here
until Minneapolis directs what shall
be done with them. The correct names
OF the men murdered are:
NUKOLA JALESS.
