The Executive Board of the United Mine Workers’ Union decided upon this step at a meeting held here this afternoon, It was a convention similar to that which has been called that ore dered the strike last year. Delegates will be elected within the next two weeks to attend the convention. These delegates will probably be the same men who voted in the momentous convention a year ago. The sentiment among the men favors another strike.
