Longer Than Was Expected.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January 90
Controversy over the report of Thomas l..

The delegates approved the report Of
the committee in charge of the considera-
ton of Mr.. Lewis chronicle of his activity
as the head of the 100000 miners of coal

as it adversely criticised the Pennsylvania
and Illinois districts for obstructing the
efforts of the president and the national
executive board in their efforts to bring
about a joint interstate agreement with
mine operators. which was effected in a
conference at Toledo.
But when taking up Mr.. Lewis report
by sections. paragraph had been reached
in which Mr.. Lewis treated of the sus-
pension Of the officers of District No. II
Indiana, for having diSODeyed the man
date of himself and the national board in
ordering return TO work in the Hudson
mine strike. pending a settlement with the
operators, the convention was plunged in
to confusion of diSsension.
w. ID. Van Horn. president of District
No II, alluded to the national board as
the national executive wooden board "

constructed as to be dangerous to the
Lives of man and mule.
Against Lewis Policy.
Thomas Haggerty, an "anti-adminis-
tration'' member of the national execu-
tive board. took the platform to discuss
the issue. and so bitterly spoke against
the policy of President Lewis and some
of his associates on the board that James
Mooney of Missouri. also a board MEM
ber, demanded to know if Mr. Haggerty
intended ito whip him personally" Sew
eral Other members of the board resented
being designated as wooden" and it was
with great difficulty that President
White of the Iowa miners, who was in
the chair. prevented the convention be-
ing converted into an assembly without
order. and in which several OF the min
ers' leaders were simultaneously en-
gagged in disputing the veracity of each
other.
