CONVENTION

PREPARATIONS ARE ALMOST COM-W-'v PLETE FOR CONVENING

HARGROVE HAS CLEAR TRACK

"Shot-Firing" Proposition May Prove Most Serious Bone of Contention In the District.

All the arrangement* arc about completed for the fourteenth annual convention of the United Mine Workers of the Eleventh District of Indiana, to convene in this city on the third day of next month. The locals all over the districts arc sending in the names of the dele4 'gates selected and it is assured that there will be a large representation.

Secretary S. F. Kennedy has his annual report almost completed and the document will show a successful, year for Ihe organization. There has been little trouble during the year, work has been unusually good, and as a result of these pleasing- facts the treasury has grown.

President Hargrove has given good satisfaction as president of- the organization, and the nominations show that he will have no opposition in re-election. The same is the ease with /Johnny Boyle, the vice-president, and unless one of these men decline to serve, there will be no change in the heads of the district organization. Secretary Kennedy, who lias served the miners for the past ten years and ha? been faithful to every trust, is a candidate for re-election, but lie will have some opposition when the matter comes to a vote. The man nominsited against Mr. Kennedy is .John F. Cole, of Brazil, and it is said that he has encouraging support. Mr. Cole is said to be a capable and popular man, luit it is thought that Mr. Kennedy will bo easily re-elected. The entire ticket, as the nominations have been forwarded to the secretary and recorded are as follows:

For Members Xationnl Executive.1 Board-—Geo. W. Pureell. Terre Haute. James 0. Neenan. Linton.

For District President—George ITar'gtove, Terre Haute. For District Yicc President—John 'Boyle, Terre Haute.

For Secretary-Treasurer—J. IT. KenTied v. Terre lfautc. John F. Cole, Brazil.

For Members of District Executive Board—Charles Vaughn. Linton Harry Moor^, Clinton L. L. Jackson, Evansville: Win. Lee. Jasonvfile: Matthew 1/ackie. Linton Frank Bamage, Knightsville Wm. Cherry, Clinton: T. G. Morgan. Linton: Dan O'Leary, Linton: C. Grhy. Win slow: Frank Jennings, Princeton: James Finith. Fontanet: W. H. 'K4inev. Princeton: Wellington O'Conn^r.'^taunton: T. E. Newronie. Coxville.

Delegates to State Federation of Labor—George Hargrove. Terre Haute: .lames Hutchison. Riaunton: Dan O'Leary. Linton Elmer Goddard. Heckland Wm. Lewis. Linton: B. C. Calvert, Brazil: Chas. Vaughn. Linton Chas. hallis. Rosodalc: Wellington O'Conner, tiisunton.

As the situation now appears there will not be the same trouble over the wage scale as was experienced last year. The operators have all along conceded a raise in the scale and the advance will *lve on the' basis made by the national convention. It is thought that there will be but little delay in settling the other matters regarding mine, work, ''breakthroughs," etc.. but the real conflict, if there is any will come from the proposition to have the operators employ shotfires. There was a bill before the legislature, making this a state law but it -was withdrawn as a compromise, with the understanding that the miners could take it up at the convention and enter Into agreements with the operators.

It is certain that the operators will resist this proposition, as they claim that if they should employ the shooters, it would throw all the liability of accident on them. The operators claim that now, while the miners employ the. shooters, and send them in the mine after the regular work hours are passed, the operators are relieved of all responsibility in ease of their death from explosions. The miners deny this claim, and say that the operator is liable just the same as though the men were killed when all the men were in the mine and at work. There is a case now pending in the Vermillion county court which will test this point and a decision is being awaited from Judge White. The case in question is the one brought by the wife of .lack Bonner, who was killed in the Willow Grove mine at Clinton, while firing shots for the men. It is claimed that death resulted from a dust explosion. If Judge White renders his decision, it may have a good deal to do toward an early settlement. of this dispute. It is certain that the miners will contend for the "shooters'." clause in the contract and that the operators will oppose it. Unless one side or the other weakens there 35. likely to be a long and tiresome deadlock. when this feature of the proposed agreement is reached. _____

PICKLES GOING UP

Shortage in the Crop Has Resulted j,, .r, In a Sharp Increase in Price.

The advance in the price of pickles lias continued until it now reaches about 100 per cent. Two years ago the cucumber crop, called by the trade "the pickle crap," was 50 per cent short of the nor4^1 crop. Following this, last year, all *the. pickle growers were stimulated to in an.increased aerage of cucumbers.

Last season the yield was less than /one-thkd of an average crop and as a result pickles advanced in price about $3.50 on a barrel.

BOW

looks as if pickles will con

tinue at a high price for a year or two 'from the fact that, though the next crop may be a laj-ge ooe, it will not be

sufticieut to atone for the shortage and make the supply sufficient to meet an ever-lasting demand.

It-is customary for picklers to carry a supply of cucumbers in saltfc These are in such shape that they may be held for five or six years and be well '"set" before they are put into vinegar. These salt pickles are considered at their bast when they are from two to three veaTs eld.

Large pickles, counting 1.000 to 1,200 to a barrel of fortv-five gallons, if not allowed to remain in salt a sufficient time to "set," will become salt and unsalable.

Sweet pickles, as a rule, have better keeping qualities than sour pickles. It is seldom that tliev snoil.

LYFORD IS MORAL.

Prize fights and sparring exhibitions may go in a tough city like Terre Haute but Lyford is not in that class. A fight between Jack Graham of nobody knows where, the "'Hoosier champion middleweight," and Jack Tiernan. of Kokomo, was advertised for Lyford last night but it didn't go. Sheriff Aydelotte made arrangements to attend. It was intended to move the pugs to this side of the river until it was learned that Sheriff Swayne of this county was also on tlie lookout. The fight was then declared off, temporarily at least. For several months Lyford has been as quiet and law-abiding a town as anybody knows of. This affair was engineered from this side of the river but Lyford wouldn't have it.

MILLER HAS RETURNED. Michael Miller, better known as "Crazy Mike,"' has returned to Clinton and will resume work in the mines here. Mike visited some of his countrymen in Chicago a few months ago and in some way wore home a pair of pants belonging to a friend. There happened to be about $65 in the inside pocket of the trousers. A Chicago officer came and took Mike away, after he had been arrested by Marshal Black. It was supposed that he would be given a term in the penitentiary but he appears to have escaped with a jail sentence, after the authorities learned from Mayor Johnson that Mike is nrft considered mentally responsible for his actions. Mike is regarded as a queer character.

ANOTHER RECORD.

Reports of large earnings of certain Clinton miners have been widely published. A new record has now been made, but in another direction. The champion this time is Bill Anderson, a young colored man who won distinction a few months ago by shooting himself in the abdomen in an attempt to blow his brains out. It is not stated just how long Bill worked, but long enough to purchase two kegs of powder for which he was charged $3.50. His coal when weighed and computed came to just $1. It is needless to say Bill has a chronic case of "that tired feeling.''

NOTES.

Davidson & Miclieli, who purchased the Washburn & Nebeker shoe store the first of the year have added a stock of men's furnishing goods.

Mr. T. J. Gallivan, who went to Champaign a few weeks ago to take charge of a bottling plant he purchased, is visiting his family here. He will move to Champaign soon. jv

There has not been a burial" in the Clinton cemetery for two weeks. This is a very unusual accurance.

There were interesting Washington birthday exercises in the city school* yesterday afternoon.

It appears that Mrs. Ennis Shirley, who went, to El Paso, Texas, a few months ago, with the hope of improving her health, did not derive much benefit from the change of climate. It is feared that she' is hopelessly ill with consumption. When she first went south her health appeared to improve but. later reports indicate that the improvement was only temporary.

Mrs. J. W. Kpnyon. who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. J. G. Gillis, for the past few weeks, returned to her home in Jackson, Tenn., yesterday.

Mr. and Mrs. Elmer McCprmick, who were married in Terre Haute Thursday, visited at the home of the bride's brother. Mr. J. G. Gillis, Friday afternoon. 2

The masked balls of this organization have long been a. feature in the pleasureloving world of this community and preparations are being made to make this one of the most enjoyable entertainments ever arranged. by^.th^'organization. ***$ ,«'T

Germany and the United States.^® Nothing could be franker on its face than the statement of the new German ambassador, who has just arrived In this country. Unless, he is uttreiy, deceitful, which we have no right to suppose, the German emperor feels very .friendly toward the United States, and has no intention of violating the Monroe doctrine, which he understands and approves. This, of course, cannot make Americans approve of Germany's methods in the Venezuelan matter, but it should dispose of ground-less charges and fears.

Full Fledged Brewer.

August Von Arator, of this city, who took a course of instruction at a Chicago college to be a brewmaster recently returned after a .most successful course, having graduated with the highest honors from the institution. Mr. Von Arator has returned to a position with the Terre Haute brewery.
