Miners conpeniion Take! !!i! Up AgreemeInl ] In Executive Meeting

Wxikesbarre, Pa, May 1.-The an thracjte miners convention went into executive session this. afternoon fol- lowing. the noon recess taken after the opening meeting. The opinion grows that the tentative agreement will be ratified although the actual vote on this vital proposition will not be taken before Wednesday, or Thurs day. e
 President White opened the session today wdth a characteristic speech He did not argue too vigorously for the ratification of the report of the sub committee. but certain declarations he made led those who heard him to believe that he will later throw his entire force back of the acceptance of the schedule as it is now aTrang-
 ''M Is much easier. to obstruct than to construct" was a slgnificant utter talk. The delegates are in sympathy with the national president. They are outspoken in their loyal to him and the impression obtained this after noon that with their chief advocating the adoption of the sub-coAnmittee's report framed in New York. the com- mtttee would agree. S
 National President White will pre- side at the convention throughout all it's. sessions. Thomas Richards, sec retary of District No. 9, was chosen secretary. The. three district secre- taries were made members of the Gre dential committee.
 The first committee to report this afternoen was that on Rules and Or der. There is no business before the conference except the rejection or adoption of the tentative agreement. The matter will be argued from every angle. The delegates will be given full swing in the debates. but the of ficials will reserve their argumentative force until the summing up.
 From talk. with President White this afternoon the United Press cor was led to believe that he will urge the acceptance of the agree meit: If he does, fit looks like peace, for the delegates will be swayed to a great extent by what their chief advises
