ASSESMENT QUESTION
DECIDED YE55TRRnAY '
" AA
.... . ' ,
ENERGETIC DEBATE ON QUESTION
OF USING ' ASSESSMENTS FOR
BENEFIT OF BITUMINOUS
ERS WHO ARE OUT.
MIN-
Indianapolis, July 18. The question
of whether the assessment recommend
ed by" President Mitchell for the relief of
the anthracite mdmere be used also for
miners in different parts of thecoun
try was the only thing before the mine
workers today. The debate grew so en
ergetic that it was determined' to hold
an executive session. iNothipg was
determined during the morning regard
ing the distribution of the assessment.
The lack of harmony was so pro
nounced at the morning session that
newspaper men and the public excluded
from the afternoon gathering. Mitch
ell's proposition to assess eacn working
miner ?1 a week was the principal
point of difference. Some anerribers of
the union receive $30 a week, while
otherff-g-et but $12, and the proposition
to assess the $12 man the same as the
$30 worker iwaa declared unfair. An
other dispute was about preventing the
shipment of soft coal into the anthra
cite region, many claiming- "that ship
ments would tend to end the strike in
stead of otherwise. The situation in
the Pittsburg district caused the dis
pute. President Dolan spent $7000 there,
$2000 more than he asked for, and the
situation there was not improved.
Mitchell said tonight the national treas
ury would soon have a million dollars.
At the secret session the opponents to
theSiplan -Won, and " it is how pro
posed to levy a 10 per cent tax 'on the
.wages of every: man in the organiza
tion. , . -
This morning the sentiment among
the delegates wae as strong as
ever against a strike and all
l danger of such an event is now passed.
The anthracite men favoring a strike
admitted that there was no chance of
a walk out. They were hopeless last
night when a majority of their own
men were opposed to a strike, and this
morning they came into the convention
determined to stand as a unit by the
recommendations of President Mitchell.
The convention was called to order
at a few iminiutes after 10 o'clock and
almost immediately a recess of one
half an hour was taken to enable the
delegates to arrange details regarding
railroad tickets.
Thomas L. Nichols, president of dis
trict No. 1, anthracite union, which was
chiefly instrumental in calling the con
vention, this morning said that he had
been in favor of a general strike.
"I never was personally in favor of a
strike," he said, "'but knowing how the

; mendations of PresidentifMitehelL oto-
vited that if the assessment urged by
the president be not fouiW sufficient it
should be increased acbrditoff to the
judgrment. of the officeal of the orde.
John p. Reese of Iowa urged that
the convention had beenjrcalled to care
for the anthracite &tf ike? and that in
as mnch as the recommeadiations of the
president were based :onhe minimum
,sum necessary to support the anthra
cite men, if more money-.were needed,
the assessments should Jbe increased.
Great applause greeted' tfce speech of
Mr. Reese.
, (President Patrick Gj0ay of Jistrict
No. 2, spoke strongly in favor' of dis
tributing the relief-: .fund'.": to-all strikers.
Several long speeches .that were mot to
the point under discussion' provoked a
motion that all speeches' should be re
stricted to five minutes, Delegate Fitz
patrick, who made a radical speech
yesterday, shouted from the gallery:
! "Oh, if you want to railroad1 this
thing through;' railroad it."
President Mitchell offered to recog
nize Mr. Fitzpatrick, but the latter re
plied in a disgusted tone:
"Oh, I don't want the floor what's
the use?" -
Thomas D. Nichols, president of Dis
trict No. 1, anthracite, spoke against
the amendment. Vice-Presidenit Lewis
asked that ihe convention go into ex
ecutive session to discuss the assess
ment proposition and it was decided
that the afternoon session should be
an executive character.

Quebec, July l&.Today's proceedings
in the Gaynor-Greene case consisted
principally in the filing of affidavits
and contra-affidavits and it was only
a short time before the adjournment of
court that Mr. McMaster, for the pros
ecution commenced his argument on
his .motions to quash the habeas corpus
writs issued by Judge Caron on June
20 and 21 last. .
The proceedings were opened by Mr
Taschereau, counsel for the prisoners!
who produced affidavits of Benjamin
Greene, to the effect that on May 17.
Mr. Erwin called on him at the Wind-!
sor hotel, Montreal, when Erwin said
to Greene:
"If you will pay $500,000 to settle the
whole jmatter, I will go at once to

Greene replied that he could not
stand that because he had not the
money with which to pay hds half of
the amounts 'but that Bmvin said-
Gaynor has enough. I don't know
