UNION MINERS
NATIONAL CONVENTION AT IN
plANAPoLls IS READY
FOR WAR.
WILL ASK FOR HIGHER WAGES
Anthracite Workers Intend to Demand
Recognition Of the Union by
the Operators and an
Elsht-Hour Day.

indianapolis, Jan. 26.-The conven.
tion of the United Mine Workers Of
America in session in this city Is In
the attitude of waiting, though rest
lessly, for an outbreak of internal
strife rather than a contest with EN-
ployers. Only one wage scale of con.
sequence is to be negotiated, that OF
the miners of the three anthracite
districts of Pennsylvania, which will
probably be taken up between the
operators and a committee from the
miners composed of the national prest
dent and the three district presidents
The subject upon which the miners
organization is intent is the dispute
within its own ranks between the
present national administration and
its opponents, headed by John Walker
of Illinois, who is Mr.. Lewis rival for
the presidency The ballots cast last
December are now being counted.
The factional controversy is a bitter
one and charges OF improper influence
in the election have emanated from
supporters of both parties.
The anthracite miners OF Pennsyl.
vania, II is said, are not well organ.
lied and It Is charged that in many
local unions the election was held in
irregular fashion, in some instances
to the advantage OF the Lewis faction
and in others to the advantage OF the
Walker party.
The committee that is formulating
the demands OF the anthracite miners
preparatory to the conference to be
held with the operators for the pur.
pose Of agreeing on new contract to
go into effect April I, has under con.
sideration proposition that the
United Mine Workers OF America shall
be given complete recognition by the
operators, that the working day shall
be eight hours, with no reduction OF
wages; that coal mined shall be paid
for by the ton of 1000 pounds; that
employees receiving less than s1.50 q
day shall have 10 per cent advance
and that employees receiving more than
$3.50 but less than so a day shall have
a per cent advance, and finally that
the contract shall be made for one

AN EXPOSE OF
GIGANTIC FRAUDS
IN SECURING OKLAHOMA LAND Is
PROMISED ~ GOVERN.
MENT AGENTS.
A CROWD OF WITNESSES
VIII Testify Before the Federal Grand
Jury that Meets in Muskosee
To-day TO Investigate
the Cases.

y Muskogee, Okla. Jan. 26.-Govern
ment officials now in Muskogee assert
that no fraud in town lots ever in
vestigated will equal the stupendous
proportions Of that now being made in
the government cases here.
Witnesses from a dozen states began
20 arrive Monday to testify before the
federal grand jury that meets to-day
The government officials say there is
nothing In the records to show who
these persons are, but 1t is announced
that a large corps of secret service
men have worked for months to locate
them.
These secret service men have, IL Is
stated, secured from the witnesses az
iidavits to the effect that they were
used as dummies" in scheduling the
lots; and that they knew nothing of
the use Of their names until asked
within the past three years to sign
quit claim deeds to the lots. About
half this number are reported to have
signed the deeds while the other half,
suspecting something irregular, de.
elined to afix their signatures
The discovery was made Monday
that one of the men summoned TO
serve upon the grand fury Is the son.
in-law Of one Of the men accused and
brother-in-law Of another. These
men will be rejected as jurors and
other prospective jurors will be ex.
Rmined particularly with a view of
eliminating any relative of the men
involved.
Government officials learned Monday
that two OF the men accused Of fraud
died recently and that third is dying
OF tuberculosis.
II was discovered Monday that the
various lists of names of dummies who
claim possessory rights to town lots
are missing from the records of the
town site commission which had
charge of the appraisement, apportion-
ment and scheduling of the lots. This
commission completed its work six
years ago.
The governments attorneys say the
disappearance of these lists will have
little effect upon the investigations.
The sessions of the grand jury will be
held In the federal jail, with secret SER
vice men on guard as a precautionary
measure.
Gov. c. N. Haskell and Adjt Gen.
F. NJ. Canton, arrived here Monday.
The governor declines to talk for pub

Prof. William Griffiths, mining expert
and geologist Of Scranton, Pa, who is
