So Many Years Opens the 10Th
Annual Conventions.
TERM EXPIRES SOON.
Declined Reelection on Account
of Ill Health.
Delegates Present From All
Important Coal Fields.

Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 21.-The
nineteenth annual convention of the
United Mine Workers of America
opened today with 1000 delegates
representing the anthracite and
btuminouS coal mining districts of
the country. The convention will re-
main in session probably until after
January 80, on which date the miners
and opera tors of the central competi-
tive field will meet in conference to
discuss the revival of the interstate
wage agreement. Should the opera
tors decline to meet with the miners
the convention will then determine
upon the organizations future course.
The convention has especial interest
as marking the official retirement of
President Mitchell, who has been at
the head of the organization for nine
years and seven months. His term will
expire April 1. On account of i'll health
he declined to stand for reelection.
The miners have voted by unions for
new officers and the tellerS are at work
on the count
President Mitchell was loudly cheer
ed when he entered the hall today. He
merely bowed his acknowledgment
and called the convention to order. The
work of the credentials committee was
the first business.

1t is not wide of the mark, probably.
to say that the Deweys stayed in the
Rhode Island home for much longer
time than they wanted to stay Time
dulls the edge of criticism and makes
people forget, and so the Deweys, not
long ago, quietly left the house on the
avenue to take up residence IN the
great dwelling at Sixteenth and X
streets, where Mrs. Dewey resided
when she was Mrs Hazen, and from
which Admiral Dewey took her to
church to make her his wife.
Admiral Dewey is the ranking Of
ficer of the navy and as full admiral
he has a right which belongs to no
other man of either service, the right
to remain ON the active list until he
sees fit to retire. From his rank it is
expected, and therefore practically
necessary, that when the admiral
gives an entertainment it shall be a
large one. 1t is only fair to say that
the Rhode Island avenue house which
was given him by the people was al
together too small for large gather
ingS.
The old Hazen residence into which
the admiral and his wife have moved
affords space enough for most elab-
crate entertainments. A series of din
ners already has been announced.
