Crisis In Mine Workers Union.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. ia crisis
that may:strike at the very existence Of
the great mine workers organization Is
threatened by the fight for the place to
be vacated by John Mitchell. On one
side is Vice President Lewis, who,
whether he likes it or not, is backed by
the socialists and radicals in the orgaui-
cation who desire a strike. On the other
side is 7. D. Nicholas, president of Dis
trict No. l., probably next to Mitchell,
the most popular man among the
anthracite workers, snd among Mitchell's
friends everywhere. No other man,
however, will be able to hold the friend
ship of the operators as Mitchell has
done. And the operators believe tina.
no other man will be able to hold the
miners together as Mitchell has. That
Mitchell is getting out of the orgsuiz.-
ton at the critical period of lis history l.
admitted. For the first time in the
existence of the organization both BIZ

Hopeless failure to agree upon com.

legislation marked the deliberations ofthe
Stale railroad commissioners today, the
lss. Of their four days sessions. The
wide divergency Of views of individual
commissions was brought out in the
discussion upon report Of the committee
on rates and rate making today. The
only phase CT tie problem upon which
the commits sicneis could agree was a
general objection to President ROose-
velfs plan Of entire federal control, In
place Of which, apparently, each State
has plan OF its cwn, differing from every
other state. Tbe report says in regard

"Tbis may be argued as a reason for
enire federal control, something we
believe to be impossible, without amend
ing the constitution. This we do not
believe the State will coDcede, until it
is demonstrated that it is more practical
than experience has yet shown it to be.
