ventiOn

Indianapolis, January 23.-On charges
that it was an organization maintained
by detective agency solely for the pur-
pose of getting spy into the convention,
local union, 979, of Pocahontas, w. Va,
was expelled by the convention of the
United Mine Workers of America today.
NJ d. Whitesel the delegate accredited
to the union, was not in the convention
hall when the action was taken.
The attack on the union was started by
A. R. Watkins of Yorkville, o., an in
ternational board member, who declared
that it was dangerous for a union miner
to appear in the neighborhood of Poca-
| hontas.
SHOW the spy to us and we'll take care
of him." declared Thomas Cairns of
| Charleston, w. Va, president OF the dis
| trict in which Pocahontas is located.
While it was stated in the convention that
| it had been impossible to obtain any in
| formation against the union, the resolu-
| tion to expel it from the organization was
adopted unanimously amid cheers.
Pension Campaign
| The convention voted to further a cam
paign for federal old age and mothers
pension laws and for liability and COM
pensation laws.
| Carpenters, employed in and about the
mines. must give up their membership in
the Brotherhood of Carpenters and join
ers and affiliate with the miners, accord
ing to O. resolution adopted this after
noon. It was pointed out that, since the
miners had taken a stand for Industrial
unionism, it was the duty of the miners
| to include every workman employed about
| the mines IL, this organization. The ques
tion of the consolidation of the Mine
Workers of America with the Western
Federation of Miners was brought up but
was postponed until the fraternal dele
gates from the metal miners could be
heard on the subject. Charles II. Meyer,
president of the Western Federation, is
expected to attend the convention later.
Propose Labor Party
/ The proposition for the formation of a
national labor party, as proposed at the
recent convention of the American FEEDER
| alton of Labor, was voted down without
debate. The convention already has
adopted a resolution stating that the
laboring people should unite on the politi-
cal field.
The convention went on record as favor.

came up, but was put over until a copy
of the bill introduced in the United Slater

Main Planks of Platform

In the beginning, Mr.. Hobson said Mr..
Underwood has no platform, but said
that his platform, or the main planks in
1t, are, first, education of the youth;
second, the prohibition planks.
In reference to the first plank, Mr.. Hob
son said that he is in favor of the United
States government paying one-third, the
state government paying one-thnd, a'd

In reference to the second plank MIR

Underwood is quoted as announcing be-

Mr.. Underwood was in Alabama in 1871,

nothing about Mr.. Underwood's vote in

AS to Currency Legislation
Mr.. Hobson spoke briefly on the qucs-
ton OF the currency legislation, and said:
When we began to form the currency
bill. which has recently been passed, Mr..
Underwood was against the bill, along
with Wall street" He stated Mr.. Under
wood had nothing to do with the fran,-
ing of the bill, and told the people that
Mr. Underwood fought against the bill
which was drawn up to abolish the cot
ton gamblers, and was instrumental in
defeating the bill. He declared Mr. I'm
derwood was against levying any more
tax on wines, and thereby kept the tax
on wines from being raised causing a
loss of taxes to the government of the
United States of $4,000 per day and en-
riching the brewers the same amount
Mr.. Hobson denounced Mr. Cnderwo, d
a misrepresenting to the people of Ala
bama as to burlap, In that Underwood
was in favor of keeping the tariff on bu:-
lap and gave as his reason for 80 doing
that the government needed the money,
ond that the farmers were prosperous
and would never feel the effects of the
tariff.
Hobson Prefers Other Charges
In his speech Mr.. Hobson charged
icing reactionaries, because they do
not know the people and told the people
that he knows more people in Jeffer-
son county than does his opponent and
which is his opponent's home county.
Mr.. Hobson charged Mr. Underwood
with being in line with the liquor
interests and trying 70 deceive tenn
perance work kers, and charges him with
conducting a criminal campaign, and
offered as proof of the charge the car
toons which had been sent out against
him in the present campaign and asked
his hearers to be the jury and try the
case as unbiased men and there could
be no avenue of escape for Mr.. Under
wood and his campaign manager from
conviction.
Mr. Hobson reviewed all the charges
which have been made against him In
this campaign and denounced them as
all being unfounded; that he acted
for the good of the people, based on
what he thought was right.

Some time ago | wrote you about
my little boy, Clarence, five years of
age. He was troubled with his ears.
They were very sensitive to the touch,
and he was quite deal at times. He
seemed to be worse after catching
cold. I had taken him to doctors, but
they did not seem to be able to relieve
him, and I was very much afraid he
would lose his hearing entirely. He
was getting more deaf every day.
II wrote to you for advice, and you
prescribed Peruna. I began giving it
to him, and can now say that he is
entirely cured. He is now well and
hearty and can hear perfectly"

Now, about the tax collection for
1912, as | said in former issue of this
paper. l had a verbal contract with
the commissioners on a certain per cent
age for the collection of a lot of very
| delinquent personal taxes. This was in
| the year 1911, and a verbal contract so
far as | was concerned, although a res
| olution was afterward passed covering
the matter in question. Bear in mind
this tax was very old and most of it
was against non-residents of the state.
Under the circumstances l was una
BILE during the winter 1911 to make
much Roadway, but kept sending out
| statements until l collected a consider
| able sum of such old tax, and when my
| bill was put in for my commission on
such collection, on January 8, 1913, it
was found out that it covered only the
wear 1911. So far as any member OF
the board is concerned, all five of them
would have gladly allowed my bill in
full, but the sum was cut down on the
advice of the states attorney.

 The denial was occasioned by the statement of former District Attor- ney Jerome, who, after conference with State Attorney General Carm- 0iy in New York, declared that the whole extradition proceedings might be carried to Washington.
 Among the precedents quoted was that of former Governor Taylor, of Kentucky, who fled his state during the Goebel trial and sought refuge in lnulana. The Governor of Indiana refased to extradite him. Federal authorities could do nothing.

All the Men Who Walked Out On Big Railroads Have Returned To
 Work.

Albany, N. Y., Jan. 19.-Seven hours after the arrival in Albany of George w. w. Hanger, of the Fed eral Board of Mediation and Concili- Hudson railroad was settled anu two hours from the time the agreement was signed, nearly all the men were back at work. The company rein states the two men, r. A. Slade, an eEgineer, and James Lynch con- dictor, who were dismissed from the company's employ and on whose ac- count the strike was called Sunday night.
 M c. Carey, international Vice president of the order of Railway Con- duo tors, gives all credit for the set tlement of the trouble to MT Hanger. Although the two mel are reinstated and will get their old positions back, yet some of the minor differences that cropped out during the confer encas held for the past ten days were Tot concluded. These will go to arbitration tomorrow morning, but there is every reason to believe that all will be amicably adjusted.
