Convention of 1000 Delegates
Approves Officials Accept
anCe of Wilson's offer,

Columbus, O., Jan. 7.-5y an over
whelming vote the United Mine
Workers Of America through their
more than 1000 delegates in conven-
ton here this afternoon, placed the
stamp OF approval on the strike set
tlement reached by their officers and
Atty Gen. Palmer.
The miners voted, 1859 to 221, TO
approve the action of their leaders IN
accepting President Wilson's plan for
a commission to settle the wage con
troversy.
The convention was stampeded 10
favorable action by an impassioned
speech by John l.. Lewis, acting
president OF the union.
He demanded that those opposing
the settlement suggest a means by
which n different strike settlement
could have been made. and de-
manded that the miners approve the
settlement and vote their confidence
In their leaders.
The vote was taken during u wave
of patriotic fervor which followed
Lewis appeal for n vote of approval
on the grounds of Americanism.
Lewis informed the convention
that the United Mine Workers OF
America are Americans, and that he
had not been un- American in what
he had done.
Il would never lead any organixa-
tion that is not American and will
quit the miners organization IL it
ever ceases TO be American" said
Lewis.
| Secretary Treasurer Green pre-.
sided over the convention during
Lewis speech and while the vote was
being taken.
Frank Harrington, president OF the
Illinois United Mine Workers, made
strenuous but futile attempt 70 adj
dress the convention. The delegates
repeatedly interrupted him with cries
OF "sit down.

his biennial message to the legislature
Htoday Gov. Bilbo urged the adoption
of the Susan B. Anthony amendment
providing for womans suffrage. He

good roads, to be supplemented by a
similar sum from the federal govern
ment, the burden to be borne by a
tax of 25 cents per gallon on gaso-
line. Owing to increased living costs
the states financial budget for the
ensuing biennial period has jumped
from $12,000,000 to $22,000,000, of
which 100000 is requested for per-
manent improvements at colleges and

tions at some length in his message

.ROCKPORT TRIP
IS SUCCESSFUL
BIG SHIP CLASSED AS ONE OF
THE FINEST EVER BUILT IN
SOUTHERN WATERS.

The Rockport returned to Pensa-
cola yesterday morning from Mobile
where she had gone to be completed
and scraped. The Rockport fsfof 5000
tons dead weight, all-steel and is one
of several built by the Pensacola Ship
building Co.
After being launched and fitted by
the company here, she went TO Mobile
to go into dry dock. After completion
of the work there the big ship came
back to go into the bayou here to be
painted, and finished before going to
New York, where she has been al
located to the firm of Potter & Co.,
of that city.
The government official, in speaking
of the ship, said that she was one of
the finest vessels that he had ever
passed on. The Rockport took to the
water admirably, he said, and made
a fine trip in the heavy seas encoun-
tered on the trip to Mobile. The ship
was perfect in every way, he said, and
all specifications called for in the con-
tract We're met and as an inspector
for the government he said that he
was proud of the company that could
turn out ships like the Rockport.
The speed of the ship called for in
the contract as 10 IL knots, but the
Rockport made II knots on the trial
trip.
