 Tho surprise of the day was the ap- pearauce in Wilkasharra of T. L., Lewis, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, who on in- vitation to address the convention told tho men to stand by their officers. He was followed by Frank J.

 Then by invitation of MT. White, Mir. Lewis took the platform, he showed very quickly where he stood. He said that he believed the miners should stand by their officers. Mir Lewis said that he believed the anthra- cite sub committee had obtained the very best terms possible from the coal operators, though they were still far rom bbuSIdOtcfy, lie urged the dele- gates to carefully consider the import ant questions before them, and re- ferred to the costliness of a strike. Vice President Hayes spoke along the same lines, telling the delegates that in his opinion they should con- slider the agreement faVorably,
