NATIONAL CONVENTION OF UNIT
Ed MINE WORKERS MEETS
IN INDIANAPOLIS.

INDIANAPOLIS. March l2.-The
national convention OF the United
Mine Workers OF America met here
today TO agree on action following
the failure OF the soft coal operators
and miners OF the central competitive
field to agree upon joint wage con
terence to FIX srate m place Of tine
present one. which expires April l..
This failure TO agree hasc aused Presi-
dent Mitchell to call the national meet
ing TO take decisive action.
There is a disposition on the part
OF some OF the coal operators to slim
rlate coal market prices by the threat
OF bringing on strike said Mr..
Mitchell. I'VE have done all that we
could TO prevent this and 1t looks now
as though there would be a full sus-
pension OF mining In all these great
bituminous fields April /. We have
stated our willingness to keep the
mines in operation after April for
limited time provided wage set
Element is under negotiation on April
1. but the operators. with some ex.
ceptions. notably the Indiana opera
tors. have refused our requests and
persisted In postponements and de
laws"

Naturally the patricians violently

Centuries have rolled away since all

old battle is going on between man

Still are the few monopolizing the

Still is the voice OF Wisdom raised
