Congress assembled in this city today
and will remain in session until Sat
urday. The congress, owing to it's
representative character and the
prominence and influence Of the par
Elephants. promises to give a fresh inn
petus to the popular demand for in
land waterway and harbOr improve
ments. Joseph z. RansdeIl of Louisi-
ana is president and ]. F. Ellison of
Cincinnati is secretary of the con
gress.
The present convention will neither
advocate nor consider any special
projects for river and harbor improve
ment. It will stand for a broad and
liberal policy by the national govern
ment for all such improvements as
have been favorably passed upon by
the board of United States engineers
and by them recommended to the
congress Of the United States. The
convention will demand that a more
liberal proportion of the revenues de
rived from commerce by the govern
ment shall be expended on improving
the natural waterways Heretofore
that proposition has been 3 per cent.
BY declining to consider any i'm
provements that have not gone
through the regular channels Of the
war department and congress. the
proposes to avoid difficult
ties that would otherwise arise. The
rivers and harbors have many strong
advocates in congress, including the |
speaker of the house, and President |
Roosevelt has declared his intention
to do all he can to advance improve
ments of waterways.

WHO WILL HEAD THE
UNITED MINE WORKERS
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 4.-The To-
cal unions of the United Mine Work
ers of America will ballot next week
to choose a successor to President
John Mitchell, who has been the ma
tional head of the great organization
for the past ten years. The i'll health
of Mr. Mitchell has forced his retire
ment from the presidency, a position
to which he could undoubtedly have
been reelected had he so desired.
There is a general feeling that with
a new man at the helm of affairs
there will come some radical changes
in the policy of the big labor organi-
cation. For this reason the election
next week is awaited with keen inter
est in labor and industrial circles.
Two candidates are in the field for
the presidency. They are Thomas L.
Lewis, vice president of the organiza-
ton, and William B. Wilson, secre-
tary-treasurer. The indications are
shat NJ. Wilson is slightly in the lead:
though Vice President Lewis is ex-
pected to give him a close race.
OF The two, Mr.. Wilson is probably
the better known as his position of
secretary-treasurer, which he has
held many years, has brought him In
to close relations with the rank and
file of the organization throughout
the country. Mr.. Wilson comes from
Pennsylvania, where he has long
been prominent in labor affairs and
more recently has taken an active
part in politics, as a representative of
organized labor. In the years that he
has filled the office of secretary
treasurer of the United Mine Workers
he has handled millions of dollars of
the funds of the organization. He
has given general satisfaction in the
performance of his duties and is pop
ular with the members of the Organi
cation, not only in his own state but
in other states as well. Though Mr.
Mitchell has declined to interfere in
the contest in any way it is generally
believed that he would like to see Mr..
Wilson, with whom he has always
been on terms of intimate friendship,
chosen as his successor.
Vice President Thomas L. Lewis,
the opponent of Mr.. Wilson for the
presidency, is a resident of Ohio. He
has been active in the affairs of the
mine workers for many years and is
probably as well known to the mem
bership as is Mr. Wilson. Reports
have been circulated that President
Mitchell and Vice President Lewis
are not on good terms, but these re-
ports are denied at the general head
quarters of the organization in this
city. While it is true the two did not
agree on several important questions
that have come up in convention, it is
said that the differences did not bring
about ill-feeling. Four years ago,
when the operators demanded three
