LEFT .TO CIVIC FEDERATION)
Failure on Its Part SIcnns a. Repeti
tion of the Great Struggle in 1000
and 140,000 3Ien Oat President
Mitchell 3IukeK a Statement.
BHAMOKIN, Pa., March 24. Unless the
efforts of the Civic Federation are ef
fective with the coal operators, it Is
more than probable that a repetition of
the struggle of 1900 will occur In the
anthracite region. In that year 140,000
employes of the anthracite mines were
on strike for six weeks. The convention
today of districts Nos. 1, 7 and 9, United
Mlneworkers of America, which dis
tricts comprise the entire anthracite
Held, made a provisional strike declara
tion, leaving the date to be decided by
the executive boards of the three dis
tricts. This was practically the last of
ficial act of the delegates, and the con
vention adjourned sine die at 4 o'clock
this afternoon.
The adoption of tho resolution con
taining the ultimatum of the mine
workers was followed by a scene of wild
enthusiasm, and the opera-house rang
with the exclamations of the delegates,
who, with lusty cheers, approved the
work of the special resolution committee
and expressed their confidence in Presi
dent Mitchell. The result of the first
session showed a disposition to Insist on
an adjustment of the miners griev
ances, but the delegates were willing to
relinquish the question of recognition,
providing more concessions were granted.
This fact Is evidenced in the resolution
adopted today which states, as the chief
demand, a shorter work day, a minimum
day wage scale, a uniform Increase in
wages, and the weighing of coal
wherever practicable. The Civic Federa
tion is regarded by the delegates as
tho last hope of the mlneworkers in their
demands for improved conditions, and
the gravity of the situation was mani
fested in the words of President Mitchell:
"I am free to say that to me a strike
seems imminent."
The resolution adopted today was the
result of a difference of opinion among
the delegates as to the methods to be
pursued in enforcing the mlneworkers'
demands. Resolutions had been pre
sented to the convention from several
districts, but none of them was satis
factory to the entire body of delegates.
It was then decided to place the matter
in the hands of President Mitchell and
the district prvldents and vice-presidents.
Before completing the draft of
the resolution. President Mitchell com
municated with the presidents of the coal
carrying roads, making a last appeal
for a conference.
Appenl for Conference.
The telegram was as follows: "By
direction of the miners' convention, I
wire to ascertain If your company will
join other anthracite coal companies In
convention with the anthracite mine
workers for the purpose of discussing and
adjusting grievances which affect all
companies and all -employes alike. Pleaso
answer."
He received several answers, one of
which was .frdm President Baer, of tho
Philadelphia , Heading-.. Coal. & Iron
Company, and' 11 of which" refused to
meet "the representatives of" the union.
Others made no reply. The text of the
replies were not made public. This re
sulted in the formulation of the resolu
tion presented today, and according to
President Mitchell it was adopted with
out a dissenting vote. The resolution
provides for the appointment of a com
mittee by the three district executive
boards, who will carry the mlneworkers'
demands to the concllatlon committee
of the Civic Federation, with an appeal
to that organization for assistance.
The district executive boards met to
night to select the 14 delegates who,
under the provisions of the resolutions,
are to comprise the committee. After
the meeting President Mitchell said the
members had not been named, but that
men fitted for the mission by their know
ledge of the situation in the anthracite
coal region would bo chosen.
During the day President Mitchell was
In communication, by telephone, with
Secretary Ralph M. Easley. of tho Civic
Federation, in which he announced tho
decision of the convention. This organi
zation is empowered by Its constituent
to use Its good offices to prevent strikes
when appealed to by one of the parties
to the proposed rupture. In the event of
Its failure -to secure satisfactory conces
sions, the committee appointed today
will report to the district executive
boards which were authorized by the
convention to declare a strike. The pur
pose of the convention In suspending
work at the mines three days in each
week of April, If negotiations aro then
pending, Is to prevent the storage of
coal by the companies, by producing an
amount sufficient only to supply the ex
isting needs of the- market.
Statement by Mitchell.
President Mitchell said tonight that
there had been a misapprehension con
cerning the sentiment of the convention.
All the delegates favored conservatism,
he said, but they were unanimous in
their demands for an adjustment of their
grievances.
"Our convention today unanimously
adopted the resolution submitted by a
special committee composed of district
presidents and vice-presidents and myself.
The resolution recites the efforts made by
the representatives of the anthracite
mlneworkers to secure a joint conference,
calls attention to the repeated violation
of the promises conveyed in the notices
posted one year ago, as well as their fail
ure to carry out the verbal understanding
reached with the representatives of the
coal-carrying railroads last March. The
resolution also calls attention to the wage
scale, which was drafted and unanimous
ly adopted by the convention, the essen
tial features of which are: A shorter
working day; minimum wage scale; uni
form Increase of wages, and the weigh
ing of coal wherever the physical condi
tions of mining would make it possible.
It further explains that, upon Investiga
tion, It is found that the average annual
earnings of the anthracite mlneworkers
Is considerably less than In any other im
portant American industry, while the
number of fatalities and Injuries, In pro
portion to the number of persons em
ployed. Is greater than any other In
dustry. "The resolution then declares that the
mlneworkers cannot, with honor to them
selves, or In justice to those dependent
upon them, continue at work during the
coming year under the present low wagers
and indefinite conditions of employment,
and provides for a general suspension of
work, to take effect upon a date to be
designated by the executive boards of
districts 1, 7 and 9. It provides, however,
that before resorting to subh drastic
measures, and with a lingering hope for
a peaceful solution of the perplexing
problem, an appeal be made to the ex
ecutive committee of the National Civic
Federation. If the Civic Federation re
fuses to act, or should It fall In Its ef
forts to arrange a satisfactory adjust
ment prior to April 1, and if, after that
date, negotiations are still pending, all
anthracite mlneworkers, except those nec
essary to keep the mines In repair, shall
remain away from the mines, stripplngs,
washers and breakers on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays of each -week.
Should a strike take place, no settlement
will be made In any separate district, and
the strike will not terminate until it has
been officially declared ended by a com
mittee representing the three anthracite
distdlcts. The committee to negotiate with
the Civic Federation has not yet been
appointed."
Should a strike occur as a result of
today's declaration, over 144,000 mine
workers would be rendered idle. Of this
number, nearly 120.000 are on tht mem
bership rolls of the union, the duties
of the remainder being of a character
which renders them Ineligible to membership.

10th annual Arkansas Derby was run over
a slow trade It rained for 24 hours
prior to the race. The winner turned
up In Prowl, a seasoned horse from
New Orjean3. He was an outsider In the
betting. George Bennett's colt Hcrlodade,
who went to the post a strong favorite,
at 4 to 5, led for half a mile and then
went all to pieces. He stopped to noth

at "Weight for Coming Contest.
Mike Donovan and Dutch Thurston, who
are to box 20 rounds at the Exposition
building tomorrow evening, are In the
pink of condition and arc anxiously wait
ing .for the time td strip for the ring..
Donovan took a long spin on the road
yesterday morning, and after the usual
rub-down, enjoyed a hearty dinner. His
afternoon work in the gymnasium was
full of vim, and the six-round bout with
Riley showed him to be In perfect form.
He says: "I feel that I have the long
end of tho money in my pocket now, so
sure am I of winning. My manager,
Billy Lavlgne, feels as I do about, and
has bet $500 at even money on my
chances."
Thurston is as happy as can be, and
says: "By 11 o'clock Wednesday even
ing I will have beaten this fellow to a
standstill. He is too slow to get me, even
though he has the advantage in height
and reach. I took a 10-mile spin on the
road this, morning, the last two of which
I did In record time. I weigh but 146.
which Is two pounds Inside the forfeit
mark, and I want to say right here that
If Donovan Is not at weight when we
get on the scales at the Hotel Mlkndo
at 5 P. M. tomorrow I will take his $250.
I have cut boxing out of my routine, as
my hands are In good condition, and 1
need them that way to win."
Riley and Duff are ready for the prelim
inary, and they promise to put up a
fierce bout.
Billy Lavlgne, manager of Boxer Mike
Donovan, arrived from San Francisco
yesterday, and will look after his pro
tege's Interests In the coming bout with
Thurston. Lavlgne says that the Nelll
Ferns match was a fierce one, and that
neither man Is dissatisfied over the re

match the winner of tomorrow's contest
with Al Nelll. He thinks Donovan Is one
of the most popular fighters on the Coast
and has scores of friends In Portland.
KNOCKS CHOYXSKI OUT.
"Kid" Carter Gets in a Telling Blow
In the First Ronnd.
CHICAGO. March 24. "Kid" Carter, of
Brooklyn, knocked out Joe Choynskl In
the first round of a six-round contest to
night at the American Club. It was either
man's battle up to the final blow. Choyn
skl had reached Carter's Jaw with both
hands at least 20 times, and had the
Brooklyn man staggering, when the lat
ter made a desperate lunge with his right
for Choynskl. The blow landed In the pit
of Choynski's- stomach and doubled him
up. Before he could straighten himself
out Carter chopped him with a right on
the Jaw. Choynskl went down, but came
to his feet staggering, barely ablo to hold
his hands up. Instead of endeavoring to
clinch Choynskl stood off and began slug
ging. Carter, who had recovered from
the terrible beating he had received, was
the stronger, and after missing several
desperate swings he finally landed a full
right swing on Choynski's Jaw. The blow
had such force that It lifted Choynskl
clear off his feet, and he went down on
tho top of his head. It was thought for
a time that he had been seriously Injured,
but with the assistance of a physician tho
handlers brought him to his senses after
ho had been unconscious for fully 10 min
utes. The round lasted 2 minutes and 35
seconds.

IN PATRICK'S DEFENSE.
Lawyer Holds Conduct of Accused
That of Honorable Man.
NEW YORK. March 24. Robert M.
Moore began today the summing up for
the defense In the trial of Albert T. Pat
rick, accused of the murder of W. M.
Rice. In opening he said the prosecu
tion had shown no motive for the killing
of Rice by Patrick, because Patrick, un
der the 1300 will, was not to inherit Rice's
millions for himself, but for the carry
ing out of a trust. Jones' statement that
Rice was killed at the direction of Pat
rick, tho lawyer contended, was unwor
thy of belief, because Jones had
a motive In making that statement.
Mr. Moore laid stress on the wording of
the will of 1S96, which, he declared, gavo
far greater power over the Rice estate
to Captain Baker than the 1900 will gave
to aPtrlck. He said the Rice Institute,
of Houston, Tex., was merely a schema
to head off the Holt litigation over the
will of the deceased Mrs. Rice. Patrick's
conduct throughout, Mr. Moore said, was
that of an honorable and Innocent man.
Mr. Moore spoke 5U hours. The case tnen
went over until tomorrow morning.
Relentless Pursuit of Robber.
WICHITA, Kas., March 24. One of the
most remarkable Illustrations of the re

Government pursues the man who violates

chase of George Irons, alleged to bo lead
er of a gang of Western Postofflce rob
bers, by Inspector D. W. Peters, of the
Kansas City division of Postofflce In
spectors. After trailing his man from the
Mississippi to the Pacific Co.ast, covering
more than 5000 miles In the pursuit and
devoting his entire time to It for 13
months, Peters captured him and brought

of heresy at his trial before the Mcth- l

lutlonlst, and believe that in religion, as 4

of absolute and Infinite truth, but that the
tendency of thought must ever be In that
direction."
