ANTHRACITE MINERS BEGIN IM- PORTANT CONVENTION AT SHAMOKIN, PA. SEEK CONFERENGE WITH OPERATORS WILL ASK RECOGNITION OF UN- ION, A SHORTER DAY AND INCREASED PAY. Shamokin, Pa., Dec. 15—The an- thracite coal miners’ convention began its sessions here during the day. About 700 delegates were present when John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, called the con- vention to order. This convention is regarded as more <mportant than any held since Mitchell came into the hard coal field in 1900 with the avowed purpose of duplicat- ing the organization in Western Penn- sylvania and the Western states, which held contracts with the bitumin- ous coal operators. The miners’ leaders plan, through the convention, to request a confer- ence with the operators. This will be made in the form of a resolution and the following demands, it is said, will be made if the conference is granted: A party agreement, better known as recognition of the union; an eight-hour rkday; an increase in pay to all classes of employes of at least 10 per cent and possibly 20 per cent, hased on_the waro: Axril 1, 1902, William H.

The districts of Riga and Ventun are entirely in the hands of the insurgents. The revolt ls spreading’ to all parts of Courland. ‘M railroad communication with Riga | Is cut. The insurgents have seized a | aumber of stations on the three rail- | roads leading from that city and are advancing against others.
