He belleves { his treatment will not entail the aban- donment of that habit, 8o dear to most citizens of this great republic, of vot- ing for their party candidates.

Mr. Clemens believes it is simple to bring about this state of political per- fection. All that is required is the or- ganization of a permanent third party called “Mugwump,” if you choose, which shall continually hold the bal- ance of power in municipal, State and national elections. It must be a party with no candidates and no political or personal interests to further, and its members may not even suggest the ap- pointment of any of their friends to office.

From first-hand source the forecast of the condition asked is justified. A committee, representing the union miners, will be instructed to wait on | the operators and request a conference. This committee will explain to the operators, if granted the opportunity, | what the conterence is asking so that a mutual agreement may be reached as to the terms of employment at all col- ies after April 1. 'he convention will take a stand for ht-hour work day, uniform pay for of employes not rated as miners and specific terms of employment, but this will be held subject to a joint dis- cuseion and will not be obtruded in advance of the request for a confer- ence. Should the operators issue or post a notice of their intention or willingness to continue in force the commission’s award in advance - of the conventon, such notice will be disregarded, it is said, by the convention unless ad- dressed to that body, the union or to one or more of its representatives. Failing to get theé consent of the operators to meet representatives of the union, the conventlon will adjourn to allow further negotiations and for final instructions from the local unions in all three districts. In.the event of the operators refus- ing to meet or aiscuss with union rep- resentatives the Shamokin convention will announce the refusal of the 1,200, 000 union mine workers to be longer bound by the terms of the commission’s award. X Recognition of the union, in short, is to be the alm and goal of the conven- tion, and te obtain this John Mitchell, backed up by & strengthened organiza- tion, the American Federation of La- bor and every influence which he can, command, stands committed. On the other hand, the operators, while avowedly favoring the execution of the award, are testing the existence of* the miner’'s certificate law, and, should the decision of the Superior Court be in their favor it will inten- BELIEVE TISDALE HAS BEEN KILLED Miner's Friends Say He Was Marked for Death by Wyoming Men. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 1lL—Friends in this ecity of John L. Tisdale, the wealthy mining man who mysteriously disappeared last Monday in New York, express the bellef that he has been as- sassinated on account of the part he took in the cattlemen’s war which was waged in Wyoming fifteen years ago. Tisdale, then a prosperous stockman ot this city, was one of thé party of cattle- men who chartered a special train in this city and, accompanied by a gang of fifty hired Texas gun-fighters, made a rald into Johnson County, the stronghold of the small cattlemen, who were then in control of the county government. The wealthy cattlemen said these small stock raisers were ‘‘rustlers.” The latter sald the big fellows were endeavoring to con- trol the range and were willing to coun- tenance much in order to get the land. During this raid two prominent mem- bers of the small stock ralsers, Ray and Champlon, were shot down by the invad- ers. Later friends of them swore venge- ance on the big men and informed Tisdale that they proposed to make him answer with his life for the death of the men. ———— SUMMONS LEGISLATURE IN EX!‘RA(IRDINAII\" SESSION Governor of Pennsylvania Believes Re- form Legislation Is Nee- essary. HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 11.—Gover- nor Pennypacker issued a proclamation to-day calling an extra session of the Legislature for January 15 to consider reform legislation. Bills to enable contiguous cities in the same counties to be united into one | municipality; to increase the Interest paid by banks, trust companies and similar institutions for the use of State moneys and to protect deposits; to re- apportion the State into senatorial and representative districts; to provide for the personal registration of voters and for the Government officials of the first class and the proper distribution of the power exercised by such munici- palities are to be considered at the ex- tra session. sify the miner's demand for a written contract. Thomas D. Nicholls, president of the United Mine Workers, District No. 1, which includes the upper or Lacka- wanna, and who is one of the three union representatives on the board of conciliation which . passes on differ- ences between the operators and em- ployes, said: “The practical workings of the award have fallen far short of the miners’ ex- pectations. The need of conclliation has not been able to adjust differences supposedly enough to secure the benefits presumably intended by the commis- sion.” - ———— “Take heed is a good reed,” and :3 read the store ads. cart i8 a go w‘ny to “taka head” {a d your shop- ping DENIES STORY OF A REVOLT Minister Takahira Not Give Any Credence to Re- port of Trouble at Kobe EARELT AR CHICAGO, Nov. 11.—A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington, D. C, says: Japan is now threatened by a revolt, according to a report current in Washington. Minister Takahira re- gards the report as ridiculous, but in other circles there is a disposition to credit it. The report stated that the garrison at Kobe had revolted. The number given was 20,000. The Japanese lega- tion asserts, however, that there is no garrison at Kobe. At Osaka, which is only a few miles away, however, there is stationed the Fourth Division, con- sisting of 10,000 men, and seventeen miles distant from Kobe is the Tenth Division, also of 10,000 men. Since the conclusion of the treaty of Portsmouth some of the troops in Man- churia have been returned to Japan, and perhaps may have been brought to the vicinity of Kobe. But they are not in any such numbers as stated in the report. Minister Takahira said last night that if any trouble at all had occurred it must have been caused by the drunk- enness of a few soldiers who had raised a disturbance. He did not believe there had been anything serfous. He has re- celved no advices whatever on the sub- Ject. Nevertheless, ‘it is known that among the military, especially the troops which were In Manchurfa, a great deal of criticism was. made of the ac- tion of the Government in granting such lenient terms of peace to the Rus- slan Government. Several generals es- peclally criticised the treaty, lending the support of their voices and position to one Kono, who was the leader of Ithe unorganized mobs which made nu- merous demonstrations in Tokio and other cities immediately after the sign- ing of the treaty of peace. e .
