NAMED BY CAPPER
Delegates to Mining Conference to Be
Held in Chicago.

In response to a request, also sent
governors of all other states. to ap-
point delegates to go to Chicago No
vember 10, and outline uniform plans
of legislation for the control of mines
and mining, by mine operators and
miners, Governor Capper today ap-
pointed delegations to represent both
sides. These men were appointed to
represent the miners:
Alexander Howatt, Pittsburg;
August Borchy, Radley, and James C.
Sheppard. Fort Scott.
These men were named representa-
tives of the mine operators:
c. A Mcneil, Columbus; Ira Glenn
ems, Pittsburg; E. S. Nedius, Pittsburg,
and James Hamilton, Weir City
The conference in Chicago will be
a nationwide affair. 1t will not in
volve the various wage controversies
between miners and operators but eff
forts will be confined toward adopt
ing plans for uniform legislation per-
tanning to the mining industry in all
states. Difference in mining laws
in the various states has been a sub
ject of much grief for both miners
and mine operators in the past.
The request for the appointment of
the delegates came from the National
Association of Miners and the National
Association of Mine Operators
