permitting those who have religious
scruples, to forego taking the miners
obligation, was d part of the same
proposed new section to the constitu-
ton and was being opposed.
Frank harrington, president of the
Illinois miners, declared that if the
war should end during the life of the
present agreement with the operators
there would be no lowering of wages.
His Statement was interpreted to mean
'"do 'ie miners Wouiu oppose any at

Hereafter national conventions will
be held in September, instead of in
January.
During the afternoon session Harold
Houston, a member of the bar of West
Virginia, and of the Supreme Court,
addressed the convention on legal
cases in his state affecting the union
and in which he has participated. He
referred to The Hitchman case, in the
Supreme Court OF the United States. in
which that tribunal sustained the
lower court, which had enjoined the
union from soliciting among the com

He said that, in his opinion, if some

sion of the Supreme Court will strike

ties throughout the country, amour ced
yesterday that plans have been com

Those who are interested in the aerial

provide an excellent means for utiliz-
ing the air resources of the government
after the war. The plan involves turn
ing over to the Postoffice Department

discarded for war purposes.

that it might be the means of losing

Besides the legal question of the
Mayors authority to appoint an Act

also raised as to whether man NAV be
