DOLAN TO KEEP THE FUNDS

He Refuses to Part with the Money ci the Fifth District U. M. W. Pittsburg, Feb. 23.—Serious complications threaten the miners’ situation In this district because $25,009 in the treasury of district No. 5 will probably not be available in case of a strike. Patrick .Dolan, whose office of president of the district has been declared vacant, is the custodian of tlie funds, and he refuses to turn them over to the three national officers who were appointed by President Mitchell. The men appointed have sent notices to all the locals levying a 10-cent assessment to conduct the affairs of the district until the funds are available.
