Especial to The mes-Dispatch.l
Toledo, o., February 5.--It is now
conceded by the officials of the United
tiine Workers of America and the coal
operators that the only thing that can
avert the most extensive strike in the
history of bitulninous coal mining on
the North American continent is the
calling of special convention Of she
miners to meet conditions arising from
the failure of the joint conference at
Toledo to organize and fix scale for
the central competitive field.
1t was admitted that one of ,ha i'm
portant matters to be discussed Is the
question of calling another national
convention. BY many of the leaders
of the miners convention is held TO
be necessary because the demand for
a 10 per cent. advance in wages Is
general Under the indianapolis con-
vention decision no district has the
right to sign a scale of wages With
the operators until all districts have
conferred and signed.
In the opinion of some of the leaders
the wishes of the rank and file of tho
United Mine Workers can be ascertain
ed by referendum vote. If so, con-
vention will not be held.

SOME BUSINESS REASONS WHICH

under the plans agreed upon to re-
cciyc unanimous Endorsement OF;
First. The Travelling Mems Prntecti'c
s.xnc,ntinn. composed of men the most
active and Tideuwnke OF our commas
nifty; men who nrc brOndened by traVei,
and who can readily judge Of our
necessities by comparison with other
places.
second. The Retail Merchants Assoc
cIntion, whose members nre peculiarly
alive to every interest and develop
mcnt Of our city; men whose brains
and capital are devoted to making our
city attractive and useful, not only
to Its own people, but visitors whose
presence In our midst means much to
the general interest Of the city.
Third. This proposition received the
Endorsement of the Chamber of Cons
merce In annual meeting, and 1t was
further reinforced by unanimous IN
dorxcmcnt OF the board Of directors,
which body has on IT n representative
from nearly every interest In the
city.
These commercial bodies embrace In
their membership 90 per cent. OF the
men of Richmond whose capital, brains.
! pluck and energy mean the very eA-
istcnce of our business life, ana IN
no small degree to the work OF these
bodies, whose energies are directed TO
the unbuildlnE and developing or the
city's trade, ls due the fact of en-
HANGED values OF real estate, which
many of our citizens nre SO restfully
enjoying.
That this proposition has the sn?-
port of the newspapers OF our city
must mean that II has been cOnsid-
cred from n broad noint of view, and
the opinion of those whose suie hush
ness IL to study the interest and well
fare of the community ana put same
on record should carry with 1t con-
siderable weight.
We feel TINT the character, influence
and Importance Of the source of these
Endorsements should be viewed by the
members of the City Council and the
Hoard nf Aldermen as fully justifyinr

CLAIMED AUTO
FRIGHTENED MARE

The Supreme Court consisting of
Esquires Fariss, Hayes and Guest
heard the damage suit of Murray Arm
strong VS.. F. o. Draughon in chambers
Monday afternoon and found for the
defendant, assessing the costs against
the plaintiff. An appeal was taken.
1t was alleged by Mr.. Armstrong
that valuable mare that he was driv-
ing was frightened by an auto occu-
pied by Mr.. Draughon, who claims his
citizenship at Nashville. 1t was al.
legged that the machine was exceeding
the speed limit at the time and fur
Their that it was driven too close to
the animal, which is said to have new.
er before shown thee slightest inclina-
ton to shy. The mare kicked and did
some damage.
During the trial Mr. Armstrong is
said to have testified that the mare
was not worth more than $50. ESQ.
Hayes stated that as soon as the suit
was heard he offered Mr.. Armstrong
S65.O0 for the mare, but that she had
not as yet been delivered.
