BIC STRIKE POSSIBLE
Mine Workers May Decide to Go
Out in Full ForCe.
NATIONAL MEETING CALLED
Convention Will Assemble at Indian
apois on March IL to Consider Sit
uation Resulting From Failure to
Adopt New Wage Agreement.

Indianapolis, March 2.-President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America has sent out the
official call for national convention
Of the miners to meet here March ~
to consider the situation resulting
from the failure of the operators and
miners of the Central competitive
field to agree on the proposition to
call joint convention to re-establish
the interstate wage agreement and
adopt scale of wages.
The national miners convention
will adopt policy to be pursued after
March 81, when the present wage
scale expires, and probably will de-
eide upon its wage demands for the
next two years. A plan to shut down
all of the mines in one big strike and
thus try to force settlements by COM
petitive districts will probably be con-
sidered by the convention.

CONTEST IS RENEWED
Chicago Lawyer Takes Up ILL
neiS Central Fight.
PLANS TO APPEAL DECISION

Declares He Will Give Highest Court
Chance to Pass on the Quest ION
of Union Pacific Domin alton of lii
nois Railroads.
Chicago, March 2-Henry w. Le-
man, who was one of the counsel for
Stuyvesant Fish in the recent Illinois
Central case decided by Judge Ball
adversely to the contentious made by
Mr.. Fish, has filed bill in the SUI
perior court seeking to enjoin the
Union Pacific Railroad company and
the Railroad Securities company from
voting 2S1, 251 shares of Illinois Cen
trail stock at the annual meeting to be
held here shortly. Thirty-seven per-
sons, among them Edward H. Harri-
man, in whose names the 2S1,231
shares in question stand, are also
made defendants to the suit.
Mr.. Leman was asked why the bill
was filed and the object of filing it.
Il gave the advice" he said, ION
which the original bill was fled. When
the injunction was refused Mr.. Fish
and his associates determined not to
continue the litigation because it
would take two or three years to
reach a result. 1 may have been
wrong in my advice, or l may be
right. I am stakeholder in the Hi
nois Central and a citizen of Illinois
and l want to find out whether the
Illinois Central and every other rail-
road in this state can be dominated
by the Union Pacific railroad. I am
backed by no man, although a num-
Der of other stockholders have asked
to join me in having this question
determined. l do not expect Judge
Ball to reverse his decision denying
the injunction, but the question of
voting that stock is very important
and ought to be determined and the
court of last resort will be given an
opportunity to pass upon it. I have
money enough to pay the expenses of
the litigation and I am determined to
go to the end with the case and Sc
cure an adjudication which will be
final"

Contracts With Employees.
Denver, March 2.-After a short
conference with General Manager
RidgeWay of the Denver and Rio
Grande system committee of the
machinists employed on the system
was Informed that the company will
abrogate it's contracts after March
and after that date will not recognize
the Machinists,' Blacksmiths,' Car Re-
pairers' or Boilermakers' unions. The
committee will submit the question
Immediately to referendum vote of
all the employees belonging to these
unions who are employed on the
Gould roads.
The Denver and Rio Grande and
Rio Grande Western alone employ $50
mach1nists. It is claimed the men
will not submit to the plan of the
railroad company and that a general
strike on all the Gould roads, except
ing the international and Great North
ern, is imminent. The machinists say
the action of the company in working
its employees only few hours a day
is arbitrary.

Patients.

New Haven, Conn.,, March 2-The
lives of seventy-five patients, some of
them in serious state, were endan-
gered when a fire broke out on the
top floor Of the four-story patients
ward at Grace hospital in Chapel
street. While the firemen poured wa.
ter into the building, the nurses, doc
tors and orderlies, assisted by citi-
zens, removed the patients to places
of safety In ambulances, carriages,
automobiles, truck wagons and other
conveyances. The loss, 1t ia believed,
will not exceed $4,000.
Miss R. l. Albaugh, superintendent
OF Grace hospital, said that of the pa
tients twenty-five were in a very &c.
rious condition. Six of them were
typhoid fever sufferers, twelve had
been recently operated on, and there
were three or four bad fracture cases.
The patients were bundled up as well
as possible in blankets, but it is feared
