The Officials' Policy. It appears to be the policy of the offl- i.tls to kec the nan here discussing the situation until they agree to vote for Among the delegates has grown. up a feeling that even if the strike is settled, Ohio and Pennsylvania will be the beneficiaries. This feeling does not prevail among all the delegates, but It includes practically of Illinois. Indiana and.

in Ohio and West Virginia-President Knight and Secretary Kennedy of Indiana expressed tlie opinion that they believed that if a set.tierr.ent is mado it will affect and adjust 'matters in Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana and Eastern i'lbnoli. hot it will hive little or practically no effect in Northern Illinois. The session to-day was executive, yet It is known tfiut the nrnrTdng was devoted to discussing the situation and admission of more o-Ieg ites for Pittsburgh district.

It is- believed that the Pittsburgh delegation, waa anxious to secure the additional delegation lo represent the 23.0"'-J mir.ers ir. the con venticn wr.en the ctu-ciai tima corner for settling the striK.es. Nothing came of the proposition.

p.n i even some of those who came with 'nstru "ttons have gone so tar as to communicate with their asking to be relieved of instructions that they may be free to vote they deem best. Should this drift of sentiment continue until a vote Is taken the proposition for settlement will undoubtedly be accepted. The question as to whether a settlement on the lines proposed can be general appears to be tho stumbling block this time. Tho Illinois miners have not charge'; their position and positively decline to accept the terms of settlement propose-d hy the national board. The otli-cials have partially met the argument of the Illinois miners by saying thst if the Illinois delegates will agree to a settlement so that the.

miners of other states can resume work the Illinois operators will be forced to pay the pi Ice by their competitors in other states. Should Illinois agree to this arrangement. Indiana and West Virginia will fail into line without hesitation. The committee on resolutions 1s about equally divided on the question of a settlement and will probHbl present two reports to the convention to-morrow. There were some tie-ry speeches In the executive, session of the convention.

Secretary T. Lewla of th Ohio -miners said that no matter wnat action the convention lock it would not the strike. An effort will be made by the officers to bring the convention to a ciose to-morrow provided the prospects of a favorable vote on the proposition for a. settle-mont are ripe. DEMOLISHED THE FENCE.

give up any of the money to a arty of secessionists. Committees ef cutiers and flatteners, representing about SiK) men. met yesterday and decided to go Into court and ask thrt a receiver be appointed to wind up the affairs of the association. This move will be fought to the bitter end by those remaining in control. Every possible effort was made to keep the four blanches of ihe tis.Ja in one organization.

The branches include the blowers, gatherers, flatterers and cutters. Soma of the official offered one Inducement after another, but refused to back down from the ultimatum on the "Burns resolution" regarding the settlement for wages. The manufacturers' wage committer pay the manufacturers are blocked and deplore the Mate, of affairs, now that they are to stnrt. Tho cutters and flat, teners yesterday called tor a corf with the manufacturer, a to plMee scale before them. The manjfaoturers' wage committee will meet at ll-e house to-day to the advisability of conferring with the cutters and tlatteners, and they probably will meet with them, if only to hear what the latter have to nay.

ill Make a Demand. The wage committee of the blowers and gatherers will formulate a demand, which wilt be placed lie fore the manufacturers within a-few days. It will ba to the effect that if the manufacturers trout with the cutters and flatteners, the blower and gatherers will prept a sca'e to lie paid for their work hy' the cylinder, in-MleHd c-f the six: of 1'gM rut. At present all oomrmtai'nns for Ilia blotter and pataerers' work baaed on th? quality cf the glass, and the ut bv the cutter. Th rtbfJr and blowers know that- tr.e cuttere can take their largest plates unci cut them Into nmall Ues.

t.r place the plates Bftr lnln flattened out Into the inferior stock, although may be the best glass made. The blow-ers and gatherers have tin redress and must accept whatever treatment the cutters may secord them. Hence, to be Independent of the cutters and tlatteners. the scale Tor cT.iid?ra bloom will be Introduced. Tbl will net give the cutters a cbnnce to be avenged on the blowers and gatherers.

For years charges nave lieen made aalnst the cutters by the blowers that tne former were favoring the manufacturers ntul were being bribed into putting a sum Into the stock for which the blow-ers receive lens pay. also for not cutting the giff-s to sd-Hiit-ige. so as to make the panes of glass as Urge as they might be. President Simon Burns has advised all the manufacturers that the blower end gaiheters wilt only rceognlie one scale, and that Is the one pwined st Cleveland and Chlengo at the two conference. The wage committee of the flatteners and cutters have also advised the manufacturers that separate demand will be made for a wage settlement.

A Rich Organisation. The association is rich. How rich Is not exactly known, but that It has about three-fourths of a million within Us treasury and loaned out Is probable. This Include a loan of irAtrM held by tne Chambers Glass Company of New Kensington. The application to appoint a receiver will be tiled within a few days and several applicants are being pushed for the position.

Csuallv the association members draw heavily "from the treasury during thn summer shutdown, but this year no money has leen loaned the members, ami no credit certificates are ojt Put thote which were not settled last year. Tlie association is In a pood finnnclal condition. The Window Glass Workers' association fell out with the Knigh of LHtior last year and the charter of I- A. 3W was surrendered to Secretary Juhn W. Hayes of the Knights e.f laibor.

Recently this charter whs again taken up by tlie Window Glass Workers' association, und the workers have been restored as members cf the Knights of Labor. This was one of the moves accomplished to save the association from disruption if any of the branches of the trade seceded According to the constitution of the Kt.lghts of Labor, so lot-g as ten members of the local assembly rt nu In intact and puv their dues, so lorg will the charter and funds of the local be at their disposal. The association Is not 111 financial stialts. and Simon Burns baa been ivlsel by his" attorneys mat under such conditions- the court wljl not grant a Hence Mr. Burns pays he will pay n.
