STRIFE AMONG MINE WORKERS
Fight Between Lewis and Walker
Factions for Control of Organic
8ation Becoming Ritter,

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 20. internal
strife rather than a wage contest is
feared by the convention of the United
Mine Workers of America in session here.
Only one wage scale of large Importance
is to be negotiated, that of the miners
of the three anthracite districts of Penn
%sylvania.
The organization is giving much atten-
ton to the dispute between the national
administration and it's opponents, headed
by John Walker of Illinois, who is Mr..
Lewis rival for the presidency. The bal
lots cast last December are now being
counted and the result may be announced
tomorrow or Wednesday,, The ,%contro-
vepsy is, bitter and charges. of improper
influence in the election. have been made.
1t is reported that If the count does not
give Mr.. Lewis a large majority, Mr..
Walkers friends will contest the election
and will attempt to have a sufficient
number of votes thrown out to put the
final decision before the convention. The
anthracite miners Of Pennsylvania are
not well organized and 1t is charged that
in many local unions the elections were
held in an irregular fashion.
Mr.. Lewis and his aides nave been crit
iclsed for suspending the officers of Dis
IIlCl NO II " dllCB6u III
the Mercer-Butler strike in Pennsylvania
and for their course in the great Alabama
strike of last year. On the other hand,
Mr.. Lewis insists that the convention
shall put itself on record as establishing
the supreme power of the national ex-
ecutive board and as determined to main
tain absolute integrity in contracts made
by the different districts of the union
with the mine owners.
The factional feeling frequently is man
ifested in spirited clashes In the conven-
ton. but there will be no open warfare
until the committees reports are sub
mitted.
A minor manifestation was shown to-
day, when after the credentials committee
had recommended the seating of two
Pennsylvania delegates the convention
seated one and rejected the other by a
vote regarded by the anti-Lewis faction
as a victory.
Mr.. Lewis friends assert that his ma
jority will be between 10000 and $4,000
and that they will be able successfully to
defend the administrations cause.

considerable agitation regarding the bill
now pending.
AS a matter of fact, Nebraska already
has one citizen who is enjoying the bene-
fits of the Carnegie pension. Chancellor
Andrews who was made head of the state
university because he advocated the same
political ideas which Mr.. Bryan at one
time advocated, has been on the pension
list for some time. Under the terms of
the fund the trustees have authority to
select any educator they choose and make
him a beneficiary because of distinguished
service in the cause OF education. DR..
Andrews was placed on the pension roll
under this provision. Under the bill now
pending 1t will be possible for teachers
In the state university to automatically
become eligible to receive the benefit of
Mr.. Carnegie's fund. That is. after TWEEN
ty-five years service as an educator or
fifteen years service when the educator
has reached the age Of 65.

the trouble was. There we found the crew
Of the Republic taking the tarpaulins from
the life boats and standing by ready to
swing out the davits There was no sign
of any other ship anywhere. The fog horn
of the Republic was letting out shrill
blasts, but there was no answering whistle.
I don't know how long we were left to
wonder what had happened. Finally the
second officer informed us that there was
no danger of the vessel going under. The
majority became composed at hearing this,
but some Of the women were still beside
themselves and refused to return to their
state rooms to dress and their clothes had
to be brought to them from their cabins.
I'm less than a half, hour. however,
mostly every one had managed to get
clothing on.
After a little we heard an answering
whistle and the Florida came up, looming
out OF the fog on our. starboard quarter.
There was an exchange of questions and
answers between the two captains, and the
injury to the Republic having been discov-
cred more serious. than was at first sup
posed, we were told that we were to be
transferred to the. Florida. This announce
ment caused more terror than had the
shock of the collision. even, but after a
while comparative calm was obtained and
the trans-shipment was begun. The women

o'clock word came that the Baltic would
take us off. Once more we had to go
through the experience of going from the
ship to the lifebosts. It was the same
thing as in the darkness of the early morn
ing except that the sea was running high
instead Of being quite still. For more thar
eight hours the little boats hurried from
one ship to the other until 1000 people had
been taken over TO the Baltic. The crew
of the Florida following the example set
by the crew of the Republic, remained on
board, as did one of our passengers,
