Now that the convention la a certainty, there la a feeling of relief In the entire region, and It is confidently expected that a Week from to-day will see the mine workers going back to tha mines. President Mitchell will call the convention to order and will preside over Ita sessions. The secretaries will be elected by the delegstes. and It la almost certain that the convention will vote that all of Its sessions shall be held In secret. In the meantime, the labor leaders say their efforts to close, up the mines still In operation will go on.
