Three OF the most important policy
recommendation that it will make to

l. Naturalization of mines.
? Approval of tripartite agreement

workers.
g. Approval OF national labor party.
The first will meet with almost unani-

vention.
The second will have considerable op-
position although there IS much support
for this movement
Probably one Of the biggest fights Of
the convention will come on the resolu-
ton favoring a national labor political
party. This suggestion has strong back
ing but there are also strong influences
against it. Many Of the leaders Of the
miners fear that joining with any politi-
cal movement will mean a loss Of the
advantages gained by the organization
as a labor union.

BOSTON, Sept. 11.-With three dead
one dying and twelve others wounded by
gun fire as the result of the second
day Of the police strike Boston today
faced the possibility Of being placed
under martial law Immediately.
There was also the threat of general
strike being called tonight which would
eftectdslly paralyze the city.
State guardsmen with fixed bayonets
patrolled the streets today. Their ad-
vent on the scene last night, while pre-
venting further looting and highway
robberies on the city streets. resulted
in a heavier casualty list than that of
the frst night of terror
The three fatalities occurred at South
Boston when the guardsmen fired into
mob numbering several thousand.
Three of those wounded were women.
The South Boston shooting put a sud
den end to lawlessness Which for a time
exceeded that of the previous night. The
mob had so thoroug ghly smashed win
dows and looted the stores in this dis
trict that there was little for it to do
in that direction and IT gave itself up
to attacks on the guardsmen
The mob had previously stoned and
beaten three volunteers before the ar
rival of the guardsmen.
