MINERS TO MEET
Large Delegations are Arriving-No
Strike Expected.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. IL
Large delegations OF miners from
every section of the CEited States
are arriving here today TO attend the
annual convention OF the United Mine
Workers OF America which opens to-
morrow. II is the general belief
among the men that the advance in
the wage scale which the miners will
doubtless decide upon at the present
convention will be forthcoming with.
out the necessity OF a strike.
According 10 those close in touch
with President Lewis and his policies.
Lewis is vigorously opposed TO pre-
cipitating the organization into 4
general strike and II IS believed no
attempt Will be made 20 overthrow his
peace policy.
Lewis friends also maintain that he
will control the convention this year
and that his former enemies who Wig.
orously opposed him for reelection
Will not wage such a bitter warfare
against him as year ago.

convention and ii is said his election

Murphy Visits Mayor Gaynor, But Gets
Only a Smile.

NEW YORK. Jan. l7.-Charles F
Murphy. the leader OF Tammany hall
has visited Mayor Gaynor three times
to urge the appointment OF the Tam

mayor tells him. Il am grateful tc
you for your support in the campaign
Any names you submit shall have pref

Under this agreement Murphy sub
mits the names and the mayor rejects
them In the first two weeks OF his
administration the mayer has distriD
uted nearly 100000 worth OF patron

lander Waldo. the new fire commits

was to abolish the private secretary.
One bright spot, however the Tam
many men still see. There is no sign
that the mayor will attempt to build

There remain two positions to I'LL
