MINERS DEMAND
4 TRIAL BY JURY
Subject Of IniunctiOns Thoroughly
RiscuSsed-Laber Party
Opposed.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. N28.-Begin-
ming with dissenSion between the two
factions into which the l,400 dele
gates are divided, the session of the
United Mine Workers convention
closed with concordant action upon
numerous resolutions, the most i'm
portant Of which recommended modi-
fications in court procedure in regard
to the injunction. 1t was the sense
of the convention, as expressed in the
resolution and in the speeches that
accompanied its adoption. that re-
straining order should not be issued
on application OF ali employer unless
the employees against whom the order
was directed had first been notified
of the action and given a chance to
appear in court; that in the case of
a contempt proceeding growing out of
alleged violation of such an injunc-
ton the hearing should be before an
other judge than the one that issued
the writ, and that the trial should be
by jury.
Frank Harrington of Illinois, a sup
porter of John H. Walker, rival of
Thomas L. Lewis for the presidency,
precipitated trouble by asking if or
ganizers present at the convention
were paid out of the national treas
urv ar hv tho looo1 unions ryb0Do fbax,
were supposed to represent Presi-
dent Lewis declared Harrington to be
out OF order Pandemonium reigned
for time, Harrington finally taking
his seat after President Lewis had
made the statement that the disturb
ing member would probably have to
answer some serious charges before
he would have opportunity to press
his demand.
There was long discussion over
resolutions puTposing to commit the
organization to a political party. In
this instance it was proposed that the
convention should approve the insti-
tuition of an Independent labor party.
Several delegates, among them Con-
gresham w B. Wilson, stated that
in their opinion this country was not
ready for a separate labor party
such as exists in England and on the
continent. The Socialists opposed
the resolution because it ignored the
existence of their party. The resolu-
ton was defeated by large major
ity. Another resolution declaring for
public ownership of the means of pro-
duction Of wealth was adopted unani-
mously. A resolution that operators
Of mines should be held responsible
in state courts for loss sustained by
miners families resulting from fatal
tiles in mine explosions. was referred
to the national board of the organiza-
ton, to be submitted to state organ
izatsons. A resolution recommending
old age pensions was killed.

Burnley DISTRICT BOARD
MEETS HERE THURSDAY
Erroneous Report Concerning Re-
grading of Tobacco is
Corrected.

The District Board of the Burley
Tobacco Society convened here
Thursday afternoon and will continue
in session until the last of the week.
The members of the Board all say
that as far as Is known now the only
important matter aside from the rou-
tine work that will come before the
meeting will be the fixing of the
pledge and making other preliminary
arrangements for CONDUCTING the pool
for the present year. The Executive
Committee adjourned at noon and
most of the members remained here
and will attend the meeting of the
District Board.
A report has gained circulation
through some of the daily papers that
all of the 1867 crops that was re-
Gently sold to the American Tobacco
Company and the independent buyers,
would have to be regarded on account
of it not coming up 10 grade and
price but this is not correct, the mem
bers of the board say. The 1906 crop
was sold at graded prices RANGING
from 18 to % cents and In few
eases it was found that it did not
come up to type and condition as it
was graded and in each instance it
has been sent back and regarded and
the price adjusted to suit the pur-
chaser. The 1907 crop was sold at
II cents per pound straight and was
only guaranteed as to condition and
there is. mo reason for any of that
being rejected on account of not COM
ing up to type. The only objection
that could be found to it would be
with the condition, and so far there
has been very little or any objections
to it and it is not probable there will
be now, as practically all of it has
been disposed of.

FOR RICHMOND NEGRO
found in Girls Dormit0ry at Normal
School and Finally
Escapes.

RICHMOND, Ky, Jan. ga ne
gro invaded the girls dormitory of
the Normal School here last evening.
While the occupants, numbering
about two hundred, were eating sup
per, someone discovered a negro man
in the rooms. The word was quickly
passed and yells and screams result
ed. Male students in the nearby
buildings being attracted to the scene,
immediate ly pulled down the window
by which the negro had climbed in
and locked the door.
Some stood guard while others
vent for ropes, and meantime some
one 'phoned the police. Officer Pow
ers arrived in the patrol wagon just
as the students returned with the
ropes. After some persuasion, the
students allowed him to take charge
of the prisoner, who proved to be
Will Denham, for many years driver
of the baggage wagon, for the local
transfer company.
On the way to town when the We
gon was nearing an alley way, the
negro leaped from the wagon and
was yet at large this morning. The
officer could not give immediate chase
being alone and having a high-spirit-
ed horse.

stoned by the publicity given the linn,
it. The club owners had decided to

followed.

ed recommends.
The car that will be purchased is
Webb Motor with a forty horsepower
engine and will carry a forty four
gallon chemical tank with hose; 900
feet fire hose; two "a foot ladders;
axes, ladders, etc. Mr.. Hackett also

steep but that while he was there
they went out IN the country to test it
and that it pulled them with ease and
went through sixteen miles of mud
without using a chain over the tires.

Disclosures Were Astounding.

Here is the result, and this result
and information when sent on to
Washington was the cause of Major
Hancock and Mr.. Goebel being sent
here to inaugurate the wide and
sweeping investigation that is to fol-
low throughout the atcive hurley to-
bacco section.
On the 13 hogsheads of'the Cincin-
matt manufacturer his loss In net
weight as shown in the summary is
500 pounds, which cost him $l14, an
average loss Of AZ pounds, worth
$8.77 per hDgshead.
What the final effect of the Gov
|ernment investigation may be Is prob
lematical. Fears are entertained In
the trade that the action of the Gov
ernment may be so drastic as to
cause serious loss to the Individual
members of the Burley Society, enor-
nous losses to the society as whole,
and that some people may have to
face prison doors for false state

into a town which he well knew and
finding everything dead. On inquir-
ing the reason he found that the mer-
chants were not pulling together. The
only way to accomplish anything was
to be united in purposes and aims.
