United Mine Workers of America will today send out the call for a joint convention for all the anthracite mine workers to be held at ShamOkin on December 14, for the purpose of formulating the demands upon the coal operators for a new agreement to take the place of the present three year agreement which expires next April. It is now a foregone conclusion that these demands will include an eight hour day, recognition of the union and a continuation of the conciliation board. It is expected that the convention will last three days and that it will be attended by delegates representing more than one hundred and twenty five thousand thoroughly organized mine workers. The call was decided upon at the special conference held between the three distinct presidents, Messrs.

Nichols, Fahy and Dettery, at Hazleton during the larger part of last week. The matter was not given out for publication Immediately after the conference adjourned on Friday evening, it being considered advisable by the district presidents to make known the fact that the call had been agreed upon today.

The Central Labor Union held its regular meeting in Economy hall yesterday afternoon.The session was unusually long, and an abundance of Important business was discussed and acted upon. The first matter considered by the union was the settlement of the painters' lockout. It was agreed that the names of all the master painters Who were on the unfair list be stricken off. This was done at the request Of Business Agent Holton, representing the painters union. An amicable adjustment was also agreed upon in the matter of the St.

Charles hotel, which has been on the unfair list long before the painters strike and the lockout occurred. A communication appealing for aid was received from the locked out broomworkers of Paris, Illinois. The 'lockout was inaugurated in September, 1904, because the broomworkers made an effort to organize. The Central Labor Union agreed to send a donation to the locked out men.

A very unusual state of affairs was discovered when the conciliation board met at Pottsville yesterday to investigate the grievance of the Oak Hill colliery miners, from Minersville. This is termed by the board as the 'hoodoo" grievance for the reason that it was the first one taken up and is still unsettled. Of the first one hundred and thirty grievances taken up all have been disposed of but this one which is No. 42. Several hearings to consider it were arranged for but there was a possible settlement every time.

There was to be a meeting In Pottsville last Saturday to consider the grievance but it was posponed and another fixed for last Monday and still another arranged for last Tuesday. The meeting fixed for yesterday was held though there were two members of the board absent. This famous grievance is that of the miners of the Oak Hill colliery who are not paid for lifting "cab." This term is applied to useless matter which has to be taken out without compensation. The men allege that they were not required to lift this "cab" prior to the last strike, whereas the operators contend that it was lifted by the men prior to April, 1902. Before the close of the strike the men allege that by the operators forcing this condition on them after the strike that they were practically robbed of the benefits of the general advance awarded by the coal strike commission.

No decision was rendered on this grievance or on two other matters which were considered. DEATH BEN FIT FUND. Pardee one of the largest Individual coal operators of the valley, have entered into an agreement with the men in their employ, providing benefits upon the death of a miner resulting from accidents in the mines. The company agrees to pay the family of each man killed the sum of fifty dollars and at the same time add to the fund one dollar for each miner and fifty cents from the wages of each laborer. It is estimated that this scheme will make a total of five hundred dollars in each case.

The only stipulation that the company makes is that the mines shall not be closed down for funerals. Nov. 4. The annual M. E.

MEMORIAL WINDOWS Presented to Bickory Street Presbyterian Chnrch by Mrs. Mina Robinson Dedicated by Pastor. BEAUTIFUL W0BKS OF ABT Yesterday was a day of celebration for the congregation of the Hickory Street Presbyterian church on the South Side. In fact it was a day of celebration for every Presbyterian church in the country, being the anniversary of the Reformation, but particularly so for the Hickory street church because of the fact that two beautiful windows donated to the church were dedicated by the pastor, Rev. W.

A. Nordt. The services began at 10:30 in the morning and at that time every seat in the edifice was filled. An elaborate and artistic musical programme had been arranged, the regular choir being assisted by a quartet composed of Messrs. Alfred Gutheinz, Jacob Emick and Mrs.

Alfred Guthenlz and Miss Marie Wirth. The glorious weather which prevailed had the effect of bringing out the members of the congregation en masse and the sunlight streaming through the two beautiful windows near the chancel gave particular significance to the ceremony. One of Xhe Double Art Glass Windows IN SCRANTON TO STIDY THE RAILROADS Congressman Van of Tonapah, Nevada, and C. W. Slater, a Washington Politician, Here.

Congressman C. D. VanDusen, of Tonapah, Nevada, and Charles W. Slater, a prominent politician and millionaire of Washington, D. were registered at Hotel Jermyn last evening.

Their Journey to this part of the country Is due to the direct Interest they have taken in the transactions of the interstate commerce commission and they have Just completed a tour and examination Into the railroad conditions of New England. In this city they will study the rates, facilities and conditions in the interest of the people of Southwestern Nevada, where the country Is growing at a tremendous rate; Congressman Van Dusen is here In the Interest of the people he represents, as he is contemplating the construction of of some length, connecting several gold mining towns iff the valley of Tonapah. This valley Is the richest In the gold mining industry In the entire country, and Congressman VanDusen has seen It grow in two years from a settlement of a few people to a large city of 40, 000. The gold producing land in the center of which Is situated Tonapah, is 280 miles in length, and Is particularly rich in gold, silver and lead ore. According to the congressman, Immense fortunes have been dug from the earth thereabouts.

Some of the ore averages from $25 to $35 per ton, and some have been known to net as high as $85. In view of the tremendous, rate of growth of, the section of the country which Congressman VanDusen represents, and in wlilch Mr. Slater la vitally Interested, they have traveled every bit of territory from Chicago to Scranton, and they expect to continue their Journey until fully acquainted with the methods, conditions, ratea, and general business of the railroads. Plans have been made for the building of two towns In the fold district and a an eloquent sermon which deeply stirred his hearers, Rev. Mr.

Nordt dwelt upon the dual celebration and extolled the Christian traits of character possessed by the donor, Mrs. Mina Robinson. The window were donated by Mrs. Robinson in memory of her sons, Edmund and Robert, of her husband, PhiHp, and her daughter, Wil helmina. They are magnificent specimens of stained glass and are finished with an artistic taste seldom found in windows of their kind.

The ceremony of dedication was unusually impressive and was followed closely throughout by every member of the congregation. That Mrs. Robinson's liberality Is thoroughly appreciated by the congregation wasmanifest from the comments of the members as they emerged from the church. The addition of the two windows adds greatly to the beauty of the edifice and it now ranks well with the handsomest churches of the city. The windows were manufactured by H.

J. Smith Sons of Philadelphia and are a credit to the genius and ability of that concern. The color tints are perfect and so harmoniously arranged that each of the windows at first glance appears to be composed of one solid piece. The church was again crowded in the evening when the anniversary of the Reformation was observed. The pastor addressed a very large audience on the important event and his sermon was of profound interest.

While the beautiful. tints in the glass of the windows are not brought out at night as in the day time, yet they were lovely in the extreme last evening and were the center of all eyes as the worshippers entered the edifice. Presented by Mrs. Mina Robinson railroad connecting these towns with the other more important camps. Both gentlemen are expected to stay here in this city for a few days.
