MINERS GATHER
FOR SPECIAL
CONVENTION

To consider the plan OF truce
suggested by President Wilson to end
the Colorado coal strike, delegates
representing the United Mine Work
crs of America from all parts OF Dis
trict No. ) will attend special
convention in Trinidad tomorrow.
1t is just one year ago tomorrow that
the convention of mine workers WAS
held here and which endorsed the
strike to be called on September %.
Whether any good comes out of
the convention will depend entirely
on whether or not the convention is
the convention is packed like tho
convention of year ago the coal
miners will have no voice whatever.
This seems likely. too, as among the
delegates selected by the leaders are
men who are not actually miners
and many who are paid organizers
whose aim it Will be to block any
settlement so that they may keep on
the payroll.
Frank Miner. for instance. will
represent Il local as delegate. Min
er never worked in coal mine in his
life and is Il carpenter by trade. All
of the organizers will represent To-
Gals and they are anxious to contin-
ue the strike so as to draw their
$500 and $500 day. The rank and
file of miners are insisting that they
be given representation but appar-
emily the leaders are fighting this
and are saying Let us do it,
The miners are tired of the losing
and do not want to spend another
hard winter in idleness and therefore
ask that whatever propositions there
are to be considered be given to
referendum vote.
Doyle, Hayes and McLennan want
to name the delegates and dictate
what shall be done and whatever is
best for their individual interests
will probably be done.
