of firework, the screeching of rockets

golden rain and ,varl-cnlored lights. The

Illuminated and aarlandedi with chains of
Incandescent buihs, were thronged until

Convention Says It's Used to Fight
Unions Scheme to Clinch Union
Control by Laws Against
Incompetent Miners..
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Jan. 2S. After
a ten years' struggle the Socialists among
the membership of the United Mine
workera of America have at last ob
tained the balance of power in the an
nual National convention now in session
here. It is estimated that 300 of the
14.K) delegates are either active Socialists
or have engaged to support the members
of Socialistic tendencies in the conven
tion.
A resolution for the "public ownership
of public utilities" was. adopted without
a dissenting vote.
Fear to Antagonize Socialists.
President Thomas L. Lewis finds a rival
for his office in John Walker, of Illinois,
who is a professed Socialist. Mr. Lewis
and his supporters, the conservative
party In the convention, on the eve of
the strife that threatens their regime,
seem to have decided that it now would
be "bad politics" to antagonize so strong
an Influence as the Socialists now wield.
The conservatives and the Socialists have
united in defeating resolutions recom
mending the organization of an inde
pendent party.
It is authoritatively announced by
friends of Mr. Lewis that the count of
ballot has proceeded Sir enough to show
that he has been re-elected by a ma
jority of between 15.000 and .20,000 over
his opponent, Mr. Walker.
The convention adopted a resolution
demanding the release of Jan Pouren and
Christian Rudowicz. Russian refugees in
this country, whose cases have been con
sidered lately on extradition proceedings
on the part of the Russian government.
The miners demand the release of such
prisoners, '-because political refugees of
all other countries cast their eyes upon
this aa an asylum for the oppressed."
The resolution further demands "the ab
rogation of the treaty which provides for
the extradition of persons charged with
ofTenses against a nation, where persons
so charged are not to be tried by a Jury
of their peers."
This resolution Is Intended also to ap
ply to Mexican refugees neeing across
the Rio Grande to escape prosecution re
sulting from labor troubles in that coun
try.
A resolution recommending mat union
miners should be active In politics and
try to have members In the state Le
latuces and Congressmen wnose sym
pathies are publicly known to be with
the working classes was enmusiasucauy
ndonted.
The establishment or miners examin
ing boards in all the states is the pur
nose of one of the most discussed reso
lutions Introduced. John Walker was of
the nninlon that such boards issuing cer
tlflcates of "competent" miners would
necesBarlly be coniposed of union miners
and therefore would be able to exercise
strong Influence to tne advantage or
the union.
The ostensible purpose of the board is
to assure the employment of skilled men
and reduce the danger to life and prop
erty to a minimum.
President Lewis urged that members
of a state board should be working
miners.
Protectionists Are Beaten.
A resolution protesting to Congress
against repealing the tariff on coal was
defeated today. The delegates from the
Northwest wanted the resolution passed.
declaring the tariff afforded them local
protection.
