WE 2ND WEEK OF INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE1 OlJSVElA-ND, O., Sept. Id. Kntering upon is second week, the bi-enntal convention of the United Mine "Workers of America faced aevaral questions which promise spectaculor delegates on the floor of th. convention. Rjght off the reel today, thirty-five delegates representing thirty-five Illinois locals, suspended because of a revolt against their state officials, staged a battle for the right to vote in the convention. The credentials committee w hich seated them w ithout votes reported today against their claims for the right to vote. Racked by a strong faction they immediately sought to overrule the committee. A dozen so-called "radical" resolutions will come before the convention for action. One of the frst will be a proposal to withdraw from the American Federation of lbor. The resolutions committee will report adversely on It and it and it will go down to defeat, leaders said today. Anolher important one on which earlv notion will be sought is an endeavor to abrogate the war wage agreement October 1st instead of November 1st, as recommended by Ating President John 1 Leu it. This is backed by delegatea who favor an early strike to enforce wage demands. Among the others are those asking withdrawal of American troops from Russia; freedom for political prisoners, including Debs and Mooney, and a move to bring about "one big union.' The scale committee which is preparing the wage and working demands to be presented to the operators of the central competitive field at Buffalo, September 23, will not be ready to report until late this week or early next week.
