NINE WORKERS CON-
VENT|oN OPENS TO-
DAY, INDIANAPOLIS

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 17.-President
Wilson's preparedness program prob
ably will be the subject Of much dis
cussion at the convention Of the United
States Mine Workers Of America, which
will begin here tomorrow and will con-
tinue for about three weeks. A. num-
Der Of resolutions on the subject have
been received at the Miners headquart-
ers here.
Probably the Presidents program Of
preparedness will be opposed by the
miners" said William Green, secretary
treasurer Of the national organization.
1.-The miners will be against any in
crease in the standing army or great
additional expenditures for the navy
that is not absolutely necessary"
The convention will be the 25th gath
ering for the miners and probably will
be one of the most important In the
history of the organization. There will
be about 1900 delegates. representing
approximately 100000 members of the
organization. The meeting will cost
the union several thousand dollars.
The most important subject to come
before the gathering, according to Sec
rotary Green, will be the consideration
Of new wage agreements with the oper-
ators to replace the present contracts
which expire March 81, next. All con-
tracts, both in the anthracite and BIZ
luminous fields. will have to be re-
placed, he said, affecting million
workers What the nainers will de-
mand could not be forecast, as the
proposals will be threshed out in the
convention and in committee.
! Hundreds of resolutions will be pre-
scented to the convention and will deal
with all subjects related to the coal
mining industry and to the organiza-
! ton.
Many Of the resolutions, it is said,
I deal with proposed changes in the min
ers' constitution. Under the present
organic law Of the union. the conven-
ton, being the regular biennial meet
ing, is a constitutional gathering and
has the power to make changes in the
constitution, if it sees fit to do SO. Sec
rotary Green said that no doubt num-
Der of changes would be made. but
added that many of the proposed
amendments would be rejected by the
convention He said he could not state
what the changes would be.
! For the first time in many years,
Secretary Green said, the convention
would meet with no strikes or trouble
of any kind facing the organization.
Two years ago, when the convention
! met. the Colorado strike was in
progress.

The overbearing insolence of some
Of the office holders in the City Hall
and County Building calls attention to
the fact that an Office Holding Arts.
tocracy is rapidly growing into perma.
nent control of our public affairs.
Among our officials there are some
honorable exceptions-some men who
feel that they are in Office to serve
the people.
But there are others-and their
number Is ncreasing--who imagine
that the only thing the average citizen
Is good for Is to vote.
Party allegiance Is forgotten when
they are sworn in and the Jobs go
to relatives, regardless Of party or At.
ness.
The Office Holding Aristocracy has
no use for the voter after he has used
him.
Herbert Kaufman paid his respects
to these fellows when he called atten.
ton to their treatment of the public
