troversy, was present at the conven-
ton yesterday and made strong ad-
dress to the delegates, pleading with
them to lay aside personal differences
and solve the fight in a manner which
will bring peace to rne district.
He was followed by John W. Walk.
er, one of the investigating commits
sion, who took the occasion to tell the
delegates something of the situation
which will confront them next spring
when they meet the operators for a
new agreement. He said that a solid
front is necessary unless the miners
expect to be beaten by the operators.

That the effect of the dispute with.
IL. the ranks Of the Iowa district is
far reaching and that the estrange-
ment has grown to- such proportions
that if permitted to continue it will
ruin the organization, was one of the
features brought, out n the report.
The records of thisf Office show
ample proof that thfs is true" said
President White. AT present it is
an utter impossibility in many places
q effect a settlement on displte OF
small consequence. 1t would appear
from what knowledge that we have
that the operators are taking advant-
age of this internal trouble, and we
are going to remain divided our or
ganization will be powerless to exer-
Use its rights in the coming important
conference with the operators next
spring"
The charge made by many men,
bers of the Iowa district that White is
carrying through the politics Of the
district with the presidency of the ma
tional organization before him was
squarely met and disposed of in his
report. He called attention to the
fact that last year. as vice president
OF the national association of mine
workers, he was in position to fur
tner any political interests which he
might have far more than in his pres.
ent position, which he accepted in
preference to the other. ..

Old John L. Sullivan always had a
fine Irish wit, and it remains with MIN
in his advanced age. Not long ago he,
was appearing in a Baltimore theater
and the manager, for business rea-
sons, introduced him to a wealthy
youth of the town. The youth was a
tvpical chollyboy, the sort OF a speci-
