Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, arrived today to lead the battle for passage of the resolution. Under an agreement, Maj. George L.

Jewell, of the shopmen, are the chiefs of the opposing faction. Two-Year. Feud. The trouble between the miners and engineers has been brewing more than two years during which Lewis has sought to reach an agreement with Stone to place the rail mines on a union scale. Under the rules of the convention, the resolution must bé voted on, forcing the federation to take a definite stand between the miners and engineers. Stone's organization never has been affiliated with the federation. While the battle lines are being drawn and convention leaders are holding endless conferences trying to maintain peace and harmony, the fight on the resolution on the floor may be postponed several days. fields, One of the sweetest bits of that “capital as well as labor’ fooling the unthinking who imag- OTTAWA, Ill.~—Mrs. Cecelia Hayer, sities, peasants.
