GREAT MEETING NOW EXPECTED
AT METHODIST CHURCH TONIGHT
COAL MINERS VOTE
NOT TO STOP WORK
So Long as Negotiations for the
New Wage Agreements
Are Pending.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Jan. 90
The United Mine Workers Of America
in convention today decided not to
suspend work after the contracts
have expired SO long as negotiations
for new agreements are pending. A
rising vote taken after long debate
showed that / 1000 Of the 1900 dele
gates favored the proposition Of non-
suspension recommended by Presi-
dent John P. White.
When the discussion was resumed
on the non-suspension policy Of Pres
ident White, David Fowler, OF Scran-
ton, Pa, urged the convention to en-
dorse the attitude of the miners
president. He said he believed the
anthracite operators are willing 10
make new agreement and that the
workers will get fair settlement.
He also said he believed that most OF
the hard coal workers favored re-
naming at work.
Those who opposed tho policy were
OF the opinion that the quickest way
to get an agreement was to stop work
when contracts expire. The advo-
Gates OF non-suspension believed 1t
was a wise move to remain at work
pending negotiations.

It is learned upon good authority

Many Coming Forward When

GREAT REVIVAL ASSURED
Entire City Moved by Interest
in This Campaign against
the Elements of Evil.

One of the greatest campaigns
against the devil ever inaugurated
in West Virginia, is now on in full
blast in the First Methodist Episco-
pal church. Dr.. King in launching
this great work certainly made wise
selection when he secured the SER
vices Of DR. Morrison, the silver
tongued orator of the South. and II
man whose lovable nature and ster-
ling character makes him instantly
great favorite with all who meet
him.
The preaching Of DR.. Morrison Is
without parallel in some respects
in fact he stands alone. He is a man
whose peculiar manner Of getting
right down to the very vitals OF 6
subject make him perhaps better At
ted under existing conditions here
than any other evangelical worker
that might have been suggested. To
miss one Of his mastery sermons Is to
miss a treat.
Last night there was q great crowd
out to hear the preaching and 1t is
indeed well to come early II one cares
to secure seat. Tonight the attend
ance will doubtless be much greater.
At the close of the sermon a gen
eral invitation was given to come
forward in reconsecration move
ment, but to the great surprise OF
many, when the people started to
move down the aisles number knelt
at the altar rail in humble supplica-
ton for remission Of their sins.
One of the features Of the meeting
was the great willingness on the part
of those present to engage in prayer
and personal work among the pent-
tents. Among those who were seen
bowed in supplication to the Great
Creator OF all was one old man
whose days of his years" were ap-
