HOUSE CREATES CREATES MINE MINE BUREAU
CHERRY MINE DISASTER BRINGS
PASSAGE OF BILL.
Its Purpose is to Foster and Develop
Mining Industries In United
States.

Washington, Jan 26-Backed by
public sentiment aroused by the Cher.
ry mine disaster, the bill creating a
special bureau of mines and mining
was passed by the house.
The labor interests, and especially
the mine workers, have been fighting
for such bureau for several years,
but unsuccessfully, until the Cherry
tragedy occurred to stir up public
feeling.
The bill provides that there shall be
a commissioner OF mines and mining,
with salary of $4,000 year, and such
subordinates as are required. The pur.
pose of the bureau, according to the
bill, is to foster, promote and develop
the mining industries of the United
States, to make diligent investigation
Of the methods of mining, the safety
of miners, the possible improvement
of conditions under which mining op
erations are carried on, the treatment
of ores and other mineral substances,
the use of explosives and electricity,
and the prevention of accidents"
Mr.. Douglas of Ohio, In advocating
the bill, declared that the chief end
aimed at is, first, to prevent such acct.
dents as that at Cherry, and second, to
train men in rescue work so that
where there are accidents of that ma
ture the number saved may be greater.

DELEGATES DENIED SEATS
AFTER DAY AND A HALF coNTRo.
vERSY LEWIS is DEFEATED.
Has Cost United Mine Work
ers Fully $4,000.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. ga con-
troversy that cost the United Mine
Workers of America $4,000 or about
what 1900 coal miners can earn in a
day, ended in the convention of the
organization last night with a ballot
to determine whether or not the dele
gates from nine local unions in the
central Pennsylvania district had been
seated. 1t is estimated that the cost
of the convention is about $1,000 a
day and a day and a half was devoted
to debate and voting on the question.
The decision will be announced in the
convention today.
President Thomas L. Lewis and the
credentials committee maintained that
the delegates We're in good standing
with the national organization and
should have seats in the convention.
The anti;I.ewis faction led the. opposi-
ton on the grounds that the nine
unions had refused to pay an assess
ment levied by the district admins
tration. President Lewis held that
the assessment was unconstitutional.
An aye and no vote was reached
late today and resulted in 524 against
seating the delegates to 341 in their
favor. A roll call finally defeated the
Lewis party. The roll call occupied
four hours.
Lewis political enemies were vio-
lent in their denunciation of the call
iEg of the roll. They charged Lewis
with useless obstructing of the con-
vention. -
1T is an outrage" shouted Duncan
Mcdonald, president of the Illinois
district President Lewis retorted
that sufficient number of the dele
gates had demanded the roll call.
The bituminous operators of Ohio
and Indiana have advised President
Lewis that they have made arrange
ments to meet the miners representa-
tives at Toledo for the joint confer
ence on Feb. |. on the new wage con.
tract. which is to go into effect April
