HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS

KELIGIOIS I NOVATION IVAKiLHATI'.D AT CKAAVrOKDSYlLLi;. Inlnn Service Are Held ou the Collie Cumpu on Hot Kvenlu Visitors nt the Hotel. Wc have an innovation In our town In the way of relisrious meeting?." sali Senator W. II. Johnston, of Crawfnrd?viIIe. "Instead of having services in the churches this ummer on Sunday evenings the ministers have arranged union meetings of the different congregations which are held on the college cami-us. The services begin at 5 o'clock and last until after 6 usually. Large congregations are usually present and the rla.n is quite a success. Tho campus Is beautiful in the summer and the people enjoy oinr out in nice weather. On Thursday evenings the people, of the different churches hold a union meeting at tho courthouse. They have first-class music at th'se meetings also. I am told that the Frankfort churches have Inaugurated the same plan." "Exodus parties" are also a Crawfordsville innovation. The Big Four Railway is getting ready to build a handsome new station at Washington street and the railroad tracks In Crawfordsville, and a considerable amount of very valuable property his passed into the hands of the railway company. The Hoosier Athen? Is nothing If not original, and not long ago when one cf xh b.-.-t known families In town got rsady to turn over their property to the railroad mirpany they gave an "exodus purry." It w; a rather pretentious event and many of the most prominent people of th town were invited. Senator Johnston, who is a member of the Democratic side of the upper house, Is still optimistic over the future of the Democratic party "Montgomery county Is goInc Democratic," he remarked In all -riousness. lie admits, however, that the Ninth district is doubtful- The senator Is rather of opinion that L. J. Kirkpatnck, of Kokomo, will take the Democratic r.omlrtation In the Ninth if he is selected. Henalor Johnston says the Montgomery county Democrats contemplate nominating George Harney for representative. Harney is an attorney of Crawfordsville and a very popular young man. He is a son of former Judge Harney, one of Montgomery county's most honored citizens. CHICAGO TIIACT SOCIETY. Jeaie V. Ilrook Teil of the AVork It Accomplishes. Charles A. Blanchard, president of Wheaton College, an institution of learning situated in Illinois twenty-five miles west of Chicago, was- at the Hotel English yesterday evening with Jesse W.

Several eir Songs Will He Saug by 3Irs. Davis Xext Week-Fair, view and Elsewhere. Jessie Bartlett Davis last evening consented to fill another week's engagement at Fair Bank, and she will he heard every night and Saturday afternoon next week. ThG artiit was originally secured for only one week, but her engagement this week has been such a pronounced success the management desired her to remain another week. The artist at first refused to fill another week hp-re. as she desired to go to her farm in Wisconsin and rest until the opening of the vaudeville season. She is so well pleased with the park and the engagement this week that she finally, however, consented to remain another week. Next week Mrs. Davis will sing several new songs, and Ostendorf's band will give a nightly change of programme. The management desires to give nothing but rirstclass attractions at Fair Bank, and as Jessie Bartlett Davis has met with such universal favor she was induced to fill another week's engagement. The crowds this week have been large, with the exception of last evening, when the rain during the day kept many from going to the park. There will be a matinee this afternoon, and the concert to-night will conclude the most successful week Fair Bark Park has ever had. The programme for this afternoon and evening follows: Austrian Army March Ei'enberg Overture, "The Fairy Lake" Auber Medley, "Loop the Loop" Von Tilzer Selection from "The Vieero?" Herbert "Burgomaster" Buders "The Sultan of Sulu" Wathall "Foxy Quiller" De Koven Jessie Bartlett Davis. "The Chimes of Normandy" Planquette March, "Daughter of the Regiment" Güstin (a) "Little Dot" Froehlich (b) "Hot Stuff" Bernard Selection from "Hoity-Toity" Stromberg Hastlme .Music To-MkIiI. One of the things for which Bandmaster John C. Weber is famous is his ability to arrange a ragtime concert programme so full of catchy airs that its performance will produce a series of insistent encores. Local music lovers remember clearly the success of the Weber "ragtime nights" at Fair Bank several weeks ago, when the largest audiences of the engagement were in attendance. That success will doubtless be duplicated at Falrview to-night and tomorrow night, both of which are to bo dedicated to syncopation of the liveliest kind. There will be a touch of the popular in this afternoon's concert, but full justice will be done to the classics in music. Among the special numbers will be Mrs. Albert Lieber's new waltz, which will have its first rendition by a band anywhere at Falrview this afternoon. The programme In detail follows: -3:30 P. M. March. "Eldorado" ..: Herbert Overture, "Morning. Noon and Night".. Suppe Waltzes from "The Monks of Malabar" Englaender Fantasia, "Dream Pitcures" Lumbye Preludes, "Symphonic Poem" Liszt Overture. "Stradella" Flotow Selections from "The Burgomaster" Luders "Spring Song" Mendelssohn Medley. "Echoes of the Metropolitan Opera House" TobanI Not Held in the Garden. On account of the forbidding weather ths regular concert at the German House was not held in the garden last night, but in the concert hall on the lower floor. Last night's music was pronounced particularly tine by the 3 persons who were present. CITY NEWS NOTES. William M. Lewis delivered a lecture on "Abraham Lincoln" at Wayman Chapel last night. Mr. John Friday, of Evansville, Ind., grand dictator of the Knights of Honor, is spending a few days here in the interest of the order. Sherman Council. Y. M. I., decided at a meeting last night to take part in the dedication of St. Joseph's Church at Lebanon to-morrow. An Ice cream lawn fete will t : given next Thursday evening on the Covenant Church lawn. Highland avenue and Market street. Peck's band will furnish the music. An overturned lamp in Emma Ilatwood's home, at 773 West North street, set tire to bed clothing about 10 o'clock last night. The blaze was quickly extinguished, with a loss of 5. George Mansfield Darlow, of this city, who was appointed principal midshipman at the government naval school by Senator Fairbanks, has gone to the academy to enter the preparatory school. The City Ice Company will probably enter the Logansport ice market In competition with Logansport companies marketing Maxinkuckee Ice. Maxinkuckee ice Is sold in large quantities in Indianapolis and it i? said the move of the City Ice Company is a retaliatory stroke. Logansport people are rejoicing at the prospect of a sweeping reduction in prices. H. B. Gentry and Dr. P. O. O'Rear are on their way to San Jose, Cal., to bring McKinney. the Jl'o.ooo stallion purchased by Mr. Gentry, to the latter's stock farm at Bloomington. Ind. They expect to leave San Jose about Aug. 1 with the stallion. Mr. Gentry and Dr. O'Rear will witness the Jeffries-Fitzsimmons right at San Francisco next Friday night. Fidelity Auxiliary met at the residence of Mrs. Charles G. Duvall. 1607 Iloyt avenue, from 2 to 5 p. m. Thursday afternoon for election of crhcers. It resulted as follows: President. Mrs. Norris; vice president, Mrs. Charles G. Duvall; secretary, Miss Ida Banke; treasurer. Miss May Gray. The hostesses were Mrs. A. G. Clary, Miss May Gray and Miss Lula Jones.

The new card contains an excellent likeness of the dead President, beneath which Is underlined "1S43 McKinley lfcl," the year of birth, name and year of death. On the left hand side is engraved a reproduction of the seal of the United States. The words "postal curd" are placed in the middle of the card to allow space for cancellation above and for the address below. The attention of the police was called yesterday to Joseph Haas, the dead animal contractor, and to Jonas. Hedges, a driver, who were accused of cruelly to animals. Haas was driving a horse suffering from loathsome sores, its knee bones showing where the ulcerations had been long standing. Hedges was driving the animal and he was arrested after a crowd had collected around his wag m and threatened him with violence. Haas was ordered to take the horse out cf the wagon and care for it. The Indianapolis College of Law has just Isused its annual catalogue. Though the college was organized in lv7. it had an enrollment of over one hundred during the last year, which is evidence that the people of Indiana are beginning to recognize that It is p.ot necessary to leave the State to secure a thorough legal education, and the students are taught Indiana law. The college has courses for the degree of bachelor of laws, master of laws, bachelor of civil laws and doctor of civil laws, which are the same degrees as those given at the Yale Law School. An unusual operation was performed at the Deaconess Hospital yesterday to relieve a child. Nine months a go Geneva I'alzell. two years of ae, of ldavillc. !nd.. swnllosvf.t a mouthful of concentrated lye. Her mouth, throat and Homach were tciribly burned, but her life was saved. After a tim it wns noticed that the mucou membrane of the oesophagus- had been rartlilly closed by the growth of a new membrane that came with the luallng of the wound. The child found it nlmust im-pcsslbU-to swallow and she was ST.t to the hospital for treatment. Yesterday Dr. John Oliver and Dr. C. Chamberlain and J. M. Stoddard performed the first of a series of operations that will have to be continued to reduce the stricture. It may take four or live months to enlarge the oesophagus so that the child can receive nourishment In the ordinary way.

FREIGHT RATE QUESTION

A CO.FEE.CE THAT LASTED UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. Shippers nml Official of Companies Get Closer Together This Will He n Iliisy Day. Interurban magnates will find this their busiest day of all the busy days, that have been this week. In the morning Hugh J. McGowan will go before the Board of Public Works, with the interurban roads, to receive the answer of the city to the request for the elimination of the car tax. At 1:30 o'clock subcommittees from the Board of Trade, Commercial Club and the shippers of the city will meet at the office of G. F. McCuIloch, in the Newton Claypool building, to discuss freight rates over the Union Traction and Indianapolis Northern system. At the conference between the Board of Public Works and Mr. McGowan the lastnahied will have something to say additional in regard to the terminal station. Mr. McGowan has no plans prepared for the building, but, in a general way, knows the kind and style of building that will be erected. As stated yesterday, this building will be for the combined purposes of a terminal station, business and offices for all the roads. It will be capacious and handsome and may be from tight to twelve stories. . The answer of the city on the car-tax question has not been anticipated, but intimations have been made that the Board of Public Works looks favorably on the remission of this tax. The remission would not amount to a great amount to the roads, except in the aggregate, but they feel, with the terminal facilities they are ready to provide and maintain, that this remission may be dope justly. The roads argue that the terminal plan and the development of interurban traffic will combine to make Indianapolis the greatest distributing center in the country, especially for the retail business. , DISCUSSION OF THE RATES. Last night J. L. Keach, G. D. Griffin and other shippers met with Mr. McCuIloch and Mr. McGowan in Mr. McCulloch's office and discussed freight rates and service. The discussion began at S o'clock and lasted until after midnight. It was a "threshing" of the whole subject, and when the shippers left they seemed pleased. After the conference Mr. McCuIloch said he, too, felt pleased with the progress made. "The Union Traction Company," said he, "fixed a freight rate that did not satisfy the local shippers. In order to know why It did not we conferred. The points of difference were discussed and all of us came to a clearer understanding of the two sides of the question. We reached no agreement largely because we did not expect to. But the discussion brought us closer together and I am hopeful that we will work the problem out in a most satisfactory way." Mr. McCuIloch said the question developed into such latitude during the discussion that it will require more "threshing" to bring it to a definite result. The settlement of the freight question by the Union Traction Company will be recognized by the other Interurban roads as a basis for their own tariff. For this reason, although the other roads do not have the area of the Union and Indianapolis Northern, the settlement of the freight question will take some tlm. If the roads are to enter into general competition in the freight line it must be with thorough knowledge of the future of it. HOAHD OF AVOItKS ROl'TIE. JiESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

Money is everything, and. after all. what Is everything? Nothing. Ar-r-r-r-I" "GUJ to meet you, sir," said the thin

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) tal number of miners up to between 40,100 nnd bV'iv, and only 20.000 of them ar organized. Of the organized miners about 2.5') have been on strike since April 1. Dolan said finances had been short in supporting his district and that prcper attention had not been paid to it. MONEY SENT TO DOLAN. President Mitchell showed that money had been sent to the Pittsburg district and that Dolan had apparently been satisfied. He said the national treasury sent $5.000 to Dolan as a loan, and he said at the time that it would be sufficient to end the strike. At the next meeting of the executive board the money was to be considered an appropriation, if the district was not able to pay it. It was also shown that district organizations had sent money to Dolan. The controversy made an cpenhife for a vigorous discussion of the proposition cf President Mitchell as to tnc bituminous striking districts sharing in the defense fund to be raised. The leaderj of tlu' dis

trict organizations took a stand one -.-ay or the other on the manner tn wh eh l he. money should be expendeq and the arguments wtre heated. Loud applause frequently interrupted the speakers or concluded their arguments. The li'inoU miners stood solid for an assessment on th percentage plan. They have mat syst in in their district and it has been very successful and has enabled that State to have its rich treasury. Many of the miners are not wording full time, some a little mo.e than half time, and it was conlendcl tint a levy oi' Ji a week would not be equitable. Those in tavor of a per cent, assessment said that the miners who are working steadily ;re better able to pay moro. and that a portion of the earnings of each was the only equitable way of making the levy. SOME MIGHT REFUSE TO PAY. It was also stated that some of the miners who are short of work might refuse to pay $1 a week nnd then the organization would get nothing. On the per cent, plan it was suggested that the check-off system would enable the miners to collect their fund3 with greater facility. An argument advanced by those in favor of the $1 assessment was that the operators that are furnishing steady work might cut down operations and then the percentage plan would not bring in sufficient revenue. The sure way would be to assess each an equal amount. All afternoon this argument was kept up either upon the manner of levying the assessment or the manner in which the money should be distributed. The matter was finally left to a committee composed of the district presidents and the national officers. The committee was instructed to devise a plan and report it to the convention at 10 o'clock this morning. "Mother" Jones arrived from West Virginia in the afternoon and Immediately went to Tomlinson Hall to join in the convention. As she stepped upon the stage she was greeted with loud cheers. Then she stepped up to President Mitchell and kissed him like she would if he were her long lost son. At this the convention applauded and then again got down to business. MITCHELL'S RECOMMENDATIONS. They Are Considered hy the Convention nt the Forenoon Session. The mine workers held a short session yesterday morning, much of the time being taken up by the final report of the credentials committee and the arranging of railroad tickets. With these matters out of the way President Mitchell brought the question of adopting his recommendations before the convention. An amendment had been made to his recommendations to turn them over to a resolutions committee and a substitute was proposed to take up the recommendations seriatim. John R. Reese, of Iowa, moved to table the substitute, which carried. The amendment was then tabled on motion of W. D. Ryan, of Illinois. The question then remained upon the original motion. W. H. Haskins, president of the Ohio district, moved to amend the recommendations by including all the bituminous districts on strike as beneficiaries of the strike fund that is proposed to be raised by the special assessment in behalf of the anthracite men. Haskins said he was not opposed to the recommendations, but thought they should include all the miners on strike. T. D. Nichols, president of one of the anthracite districts, said he was opposed to the amendment, not because it was for the benefit of the bituminous strikers, but because the recommendation was for a specific purpose. If the national treasury is not able to support the bituminous strikers he said he thought a separate levy ought to be imposed for their support. Delegate Reap, of the anthracite, moved to lay the amendment on the table, but his motion was lost. MITCHELL EXPLAINS. President Mitchell explained that the reason he had not Incorporated the striking bituminous districts in his recommendations was because they were being cared tor by the national organization. He said he had carefully calculated the financial conditions and needs of all concerned before recommending a levy for the anthracite men. He said the bituminous men in West Virginia, Kentucky and Michigan have been taken care of and that they will be cared for by the national. This explanation, however, did not satisfy some of the delegates, who insisted that the bituminous men ought to have a share of the levy. Pat Dolan, president of the Pittsburg district, said his district had not been well taken care of and that It needed funds to carry on its strike. President Mitchell told the convention that the national recently sent $.".0u0 to the Pittsburg district, and said he had a letter from Dolan stating that if they had S'.OuO that would be sufficient to win the strike. President Haskins. of Ohio, In ppeaking on his motion, said he believed in keeping contracts inviolate and that the convention should realize the importance of the pending question. He said one could not appreciate the situation in the anthracite district without going through it. Then he complimented the anthracite strikers on the manner in which they have conducted their strike and said there was nothing in the region to indicate a strike except the abandoned collieries. While he was in sympathy with the hard oal diggers, he said he wanted to see all strikers benefited by the assessment. Secretary Dempsey, of one of the anthracite districts, said the anthracite men had decided to indorse the recommendations of President Mitchell providing that the assessment be increased if found to be insufficient to support the strike, and that the output of bituminous coal be limited so as to starve the anthracite market. John P. Reese said the convention last winter levied an assessment for the support of bituminous strikers and that this convention was called to take up the specific cause of the anthracite miners. He said if the assessment was net sufficient to care for all he was in favor of making it higher. "I am willing to make It 50 per cent. If necessary." he said, amid applause. W. D. Van Horn, of Indiana, said the bituminous men on strik? have been ccred for, but that he thought more equality should be shown in the assessment. RESTLESS DELEGATES. Delegate Watchhorn secured the floor and decided to hold it without saying much or speaking so that the convention understood what he was talking about. The convention became restless, some of the delegates whistled their choice tunes, others patted the floor with their feet and still others engaged themselves in conversation. "Hurry, your time's up," shouted a voice, as Watchhorn struggled to be heard. President Mitchell called the convention to order, and as the speaker again began in his deliberate tone, another delegate shouted. "O pumpkin." and the convention roared. President Mitchell tried to look sober and rapped with his gavel, but to no purpose. Tlie question of Watchhorn holding the lioor was finally settled by a motion to limit speak rs to five minutes being wedged in and adopted during his speech. After that when a delegate arose to speak half of the miners held their watches in their hands and were not modest about calling "time." Delegate Campbell, of Kentucky. ald he believed the amendment was In harmoay with the president's rtccmmenUatioris, but

he thought the bituminous striking districts ought to be provided for. T. D. Nichols, of the anthracite, in speaking of the amendment, said he did not ask the bituminous miners to break their contracts, that he wanted them to stay at work and the anthracite miners would strike as long as thev had bread to eat. "The question Is." said he. "will the bituminous miners allow the anthracite miners to be starved into returning to work, as the operators have said." A chorus of voices answered "No." Vice President Lewis moved that the convention go into executive session, saying he had matters to bring before the body which he did not wish to be made public. President Mitchell told him that as it was so near the noon hour that the convention would wait until the afternoon before going into secret session. TELEGRAMS READ. At the close of the forenoon session President Mitchell read telegrams from a number of labor organizations, extending greetings and appropriating money. The United Garment Workers sent the miners $1,000. the International Iron Molders' Union now in convention in Toronto sent $1,000, and the

longshoremen sent their best wishes. Mr. Mitchell also stated that he had received a communication from the glass bottle blowers saying they had contributed Jö.OoO. Vice President Lewis moved that the president be instructed to return thanks for the money and courtesies extended by other organizations. John Fahy, of the anthracite region, asked to speak before adjournment. He said there was no use in quibbling over the pending matters and that it was no use to levy an assessment so long as bituminous coal was shipped into the anthracite market. He said there had been trainload after tralnload of soft coal shipped from the central field of Pennsylvania into the anthracite market. Delegate Watchhorn asked Fahy if ho knew the coal came from the central field and what difference it would make if the assessment was $1 or $10. "The difference," replied Fahy, "would be that if the assessment should be $10 we would be ten times better off. and could live ten times as well and strike ten times as long." The convention was then photographed and adjourned at 12:10. STORY OF A CORRESPONDENT. Otto Cnrinichael Uses Smaller Figures thun the Mine Worker. Mr. Otto Carmichael, representing several newspapers, is here attending the miners' convention. Last night he sent to his papers the following telegram: "The writer believes that President Mitchell has informed his close friends in the union that he can win the hard coal strike if he is given $300,000. He says he can sustain the strike ten weeks with $30,000 a week. The agents of the operators who have been watching the convention very closely admit that if Mr. Mitchell can keep all the mine workers in the anthracite region idle for ten weeks he can win the strike. That would carry the strike to the middle of October, and in the starvation struggle that would mean more than the owners could stand. "The question now before the leaders of the United Mine Workers of America is how to get this money. It Is not a question of how to get two installments of a half million dollars each or how to provide $100,000 a week, but how to get $5,000 a day. The union now has in its general treasury a little less than $70,0o0. President Mitchell says that the national treasury should pay the first three installments of $P,0,oo0 each. These are not the figures for publication, but the ones used when talking cold-blooded business. After paying the first two installments there would be a deficiency for the third, but this could be made up. There remains $210,0"0, according to the estimates of the president, which must be raised by the locals over the country. According to the most reliable information obtainable there are now a few less than 100,000 paidup members of the miners' unions. There are more members, but this number is paid up. Of these some 40.000 are on strike. The exact figures of the writer's informant is 43,440. The remainder must provide the $210,000. This is scarcely $4 each for the members of the union and appears a very small sum. but most difficult for the vinion. So much is lost in transit in various ways. "The relief fund is to be available Aug. 1. Inasmuch as there are 147,m men on strike this does not appear a very large sum for each, but those acquainted with the necessities of the hard coal districts at this time of year say that this will take care of the most urgent cases. If the strike fever was strong and the public interest in the condition of the miners great there would not be much difficulty In providing this line of relief. But the strike interest is surely dwindling. The reports from the hard coal fields are not reassuring. It is telegTaphed here to-day that five mines will be started next week. They are scattered over the whole district, and the miners will not be able to stop the work in all of them. These reports have a depressing effect upon those who are to raise the strike funds. "Some of the States have reserve funds, but it is a question as to how much of these will be available. Illinois has the largest sum on hand, rrobably $100,0'X, but it will not let go easily. Indiana has less than $10,000 and Ohio has the same amount. The other subordinate treasuries are practically emptv. Rid of the natural extravagant statements the foregoing represents the approximate financial condition of the union In the tenth week of a strike which it is necessary to maintain ten weeks longer in order to insure any betterment of the condition of the 147,000 men now idle." APPARENTLY WELL FIXED. Figure on Miner Pald-l'p Membership nnd Flounces. It was learned from an authentic source last night that the total paid-up membership of the bituminous miners in the United Mine Workers organization is 232,000. It was upon this membership that the proposed assessment of $1 on each of the paidup members would bring $232,000 a week and the remaining $13,000 would be made up out of the 23 per cent, assessment on all officers' salaries that are above $tW a month and the donations that would be received from mine workers not in the union, but working under union conditions. The condition of the district treasuries, as near as could be ascertained lact night, is better than they ever have been, with the exception of those in striking districts. Illinois leads. Secretary-treasurer W. D. Ryan said last night that the district has a paid-up membership of 38,000. "We had $400,0u0 in our treasury, but gave West Virginia $50,00), which leaves us JoSO.O'iO. There are 251 locals in the State that will average $1,000 each and it is safe to say thai altogether they have $250,000. To my personal knowledge the Illinois miners could taise $S00,0uö cash in twenty-four hours If necessary." The next richest treasury Is Ohio. Secretary-treasurer Savage said last night: "The paid-up membership of our district Is 25,ü, and our last balance sheet shows $42,00 In the treasury." W. D. Van Horn, who retired from tho presidency of Indiana district No. 11 last March, said: "I do not know the exact amount we now have In our treasury. At our convention last March there was something over $31.aX) in the treasury and I am confident it is larger now. The paid-up membership is between 7,0 and S.O-n." Perhaps the next in order is Iowa. President John I. Reese said: "We have ll.OoO members in good standing and $20,000" in our treasury." The block coal district of Indiana has a small membership, averaging about 3.0öo. President Cantwell says it has no "treasury and only has an assessment to carry on expenses. Secretary Dempsey, of anthracite district No. 1, says th paid-up membership In the June report was 45.0'1. and that the men had then been on strike six weeks. "We really have more members than that, but some have lapsed since the strike. Last spring I furnished the men 6O,oo0 working button, and they all had to be paid up to get them." Secretary Gallagher, of anthracite district No. 7, says the paid-up membership of his district is 16.2v. President Duffy, of anthracite district No. y, said he did not know what the paidup membership is at this time, but estimated it at 1000. President Henre-ty, of the district comprising Arkansas, Indian Territory and Texas, says the paid-up membership of his district is S.OoO. but they have little money in their treasury because of local strikes. President Flynn. of the Alabama district, says the paid-up membership of his district is lLä. lie would give no financial statement other than to say, "We have plenty of money." President Williams, of the Michigan district, said: "Every man In the Stat belongs to the union and Is in good standing. We have a paid-up membership of 2.?V." From delegates and unofficial sources the following estimated paid-iip membership wa3 ivea for certain States; Ken-

NEW YORK, July 18 A conference has ben held here of representatives of about twenty-five labor unions under the auspices of the Central Federated Union. The object of the meeting was the formation of a plan for aiding the anthracite miners who are on strike. Father Curra.n, of Wilkesbarre. Pa., who tried recently to get the operators to settle the strike, was present and was invited to make an address. -Two things." he said, "are necessary in order that the miners may win. The first is that they keep the peace; the second is that they hae the finances to keep up the struggle. The strike as a whole has shown that they can keen the peace. I hope they may have the funds." After suggestions bad been made by delegates it was decided to appoint a committee to operate with the chairman and secretary in drafting a set of circulars asking for contributions to the strikers. The committee will report to tha Central Federated Union on Saturday. Prepnrine o Start a Colliery. SCRANTON, Pa., July IS.
