Cial Congress.

DENVER. Colo, Aug. 17.-More than
two thousand delegates, representing
every city of Importance in every state
west of the Mississippi river, attended

day. The morning session was devoted
to welcoming the delegates by Gov. Sha-
frother of Colorado and city officials and
responses by governors of half dozen
western states. Because of the many
speakers scheduled for the first session,
none of the many projects fathered or
backed by the congress came up for
more than a brief mention.

The effect of the financial depression be-

as compared with the preceding year,
according to statistics compiled by the
geological survey which were made pub
lie today.
The total production of coal in the
United States in 1908, was 415, S42, 69S

Decrease 64.52O.726 Tons.

The total production of both anthracite
and bituminOus coal in the United States
in 1908 showed Il decrease of 64.520,T 2G
short tons, or 1913 per cent. in quantity,
and of $50, ,7S1 or 14.42 per cent in
value. In the production of bituminous
coal, however, the decrease in 1908
amounted to go, 1875, 1913 short tons. or
1915 per cent i'll quantity and to ST.
O79,574, or 1908 per cent in value.
The history of the coal mining industry
in 1908 was in marked contrast to that
of the preceding year, in which the pro
ductiOn of both anthracite and bitumin-
Gus coal reached the highest point ever
recorded.
In addition to the effects of the panic
in 1908, which contributed to the de
crease in the production of coal in 1908,
there was in the organized states of the
bituminous regions a general suspen-
sion of operation in April of that year,
pending the adjustment of the wage
scale. Another unfavOrable influence
was the protrac ted drought in the east
ern and middle states.
145,145 Men Idle.
The total number of men idle because
of labor disaffection in 1903 in the
bituminous regions was 145,145, and the
average time lost by each was thirty.
eight days. The totai number of work
ing days lost in the bituminous regions
alone was o-IfJ,JoS, CoHlpdIeu VIII No.
392 lost in 1907.
While the record of accidents in the
coal mining industry in 1907 was the
worst in the history of the country the
record made in 1908 was in favorable
contract to the year preceding. but,
says the report, still the number OF
victims wac regrettably large" In the
twenty-five states from which reports
were received. there were 245O men
killed and 6772 injured in the coal mines
during the year.
Number of Men Employed.
The coal mines gave employment in
1908 to a total of 900, 43S men against
$50. 492 in 1907. '"The, increase in 1905
as compared with 1907, gives reasonably
fair indication of the condition of the
labor market. The surplus of labor was
general throughout the country, as the
increase appeared in most of the coal
producing states, Notwithstanding a de-
creased production"

PAINTERS AND DECORATOR
 HAVE ANNUAL BANQUET
Delightful Affair Held at Labor Union Headquarters-Offiee Nominated.

Painters and Decorators union, Lo- cal No. 630, entertained in royal man. ner Wednesday evening in Central Labor Union hall at their annual ban quet. for which they had as guests a number of the master painters and some of the officers of other unions. A short business meeting, in which off, cers were nominated for election at the next meeting, preceded the social part of the evening.
 When the business was over, John F. Auburn. James Welch and Timothy Leahy, who were the committee in charge. invited all to the oyster chow der and fixings, to which everybody did full justice, with compliments to the committee. An entertaining programme followed ir Carpenters hall, where President Florence J. Delaney presided and happily expressed a welcome to all present. William Delaney was heard in fine voice in the solo, Far Away" for which an encore was de- manded, and John Crawford's recita- ton of "The Lifeboat" earned an en- selection touching up some of the To- cal men. Among those to speak were: President Patrick Barry of the Carpenters union, President Justin Leonard of the Central Labor union, James Grierson of the Carpenters un- ion, George McNickle, Matthew De- laney and John F. Auburn of the Painters union Harmonica selections by Jack Danihy were greatly enjoyed and e1cored several times.
 The evening closed with two fine ex- hibition boxing bouts of three rounds each, the first being between Young Allen and Nell Crowley. On cornpara- tive size they looked like a film from the Johnson Burns fight pictures, but they made it a good go and satisfied the crowd. Dan Murphy of the Phila- delphia Athletics was tirnekeeper.
 Jack McGrath and sparring partner came on for the final event, three rounds with the mitts, with Paddy Fen ton. the former lightweight, holding the towel and Murphy timekeeper.

Trinity Methodist Episcopal church was filled on Wednesday evening for the union evangelistic service, at which Rev. c. H. Ricketts of Greene vile Congregational church. presided, and the opening song service was led by the Spooner choral union, under the direction of George A. Turner. Part of the singers were located in the choir gallery and the others in the west gallery of the church. The pastors of the nine churches partici- pating were all present except Dr. L.. l.. West of the Second Congregational church, and occupied seats on the pull pit or behind the chancel rail with Rev. Dr. Kaufman.
 After prayer by Rev. J. R. Very of the Third Baptist church, Rev. MT. Ricketts announced that the meeting next week would be on Tuesday eve ming at the First Baptist church at 7.45 p. m.. and the speaker would be Rev. J. W. Bixler of New London. A number led in prayer and the scrip ture was read by Rev. G. H. Ewing of the First Congregational church. The tenor solo. A Clean Heart. was expressiveIy rendered by Mir. Turn CT.
 The sermon of the evening was by Rev. Dr. s. H. Howe of Park Con- gregational church and was a tell Ing presentment of the need of re- generated life and the obligation upon Christians to become active evangel- ists in carrying the gospel to those around them. He announced his top ic as The Beginning of the Christian Life, and said that 1t is the function of Christianity to make new style of man and woman, and it begins this work with what we call conversion, with what we call the new birth, with what we call faith. Who are the Chris tian men and women? The great Cal win never issued finer thought than when he said that the church Is a body of regenerated souls. It is a company of converted men and wo- men. This seems so evident that it might be considered automatic, but 1t is disputed today by several classes of people. To the determinist, who says that the course of a mans life cannot be changed. conversion is an absurdity. The evolutionist. too, sees nothing in conversion, but the most dangerous class that Christian work

UNION EvANCELISTIC MEETING
Rev. pr. s. H. Howe Preached at Methodist Church on The Beginning of Christian Life-Georse A. Turner Made Choir Drector-Next Meeting at First Baptist Church, with New London Preacher.

CTS have to meet today are those who say that men don't need any conver- sion, that they are good husbands. obedient children, that they do good deeds, are kind and considerate, and we are expected to call them Chris tians. It is not d question of their attitude towards you but towards God. You say they are all right, but in fact they are all wrong. Except there is the new birth, there shall be no son. ship. except repentance no citizenship in the kingdom. except faith ye shall not see God, said the Mester.
 It is great thing in life to come into the orbit of a great human soul but what of the transformation when Jesus Christ comes into touch and moves along with your life and mine? Did it mean nothing in the lives of the twelve or of Peter or of Zaccheus or Paul? And has it meant nothing in our life? The beginning of the Christian life is instantaneous and sudden, there is the possibility of the instantaneous transformation of man into the image of God, and that's the way he saves us if he saves us at all.
 Addressing the Christians with in tense earnestness, Dr. Howe said that the situation here now was not a question of bringing the world into these meetings. You can't do that, for there's no cowardice like the car nal heart at enmity with God. But there's one thing you and I can do. We can take the gospel to them. They won't read your Bibles. but they have got to read you. They can't get away from you if you personally face them. You are Gods intermediates. you must tell them face to face that you are concerned for their souls. It is the business of every man and wo- man who comes into the church to be- gin to become an evangelist. and this work will go on if the people will do this thing. It will go forward to great results if we take this duty that Jesus Christ lays upon us and allow our selves to be sent out as messengers for the kingdom of God.
 The meeting closed with conse- cration service.
 Before the meeting began the execu- tive committee of the Spooner choral union met at the church and chose George A. Turner as the director of the chorus.
