STR 1' T A Great Conference of Labor Leaders . _,_' ~ Called For Tomorrow. TO MEET IN WEST VIRGINIA. "Gompers Sént Out the Call at the Re- quest ofBatchford—The Meeting May \_ Decide the Fate of the Mine Workers’ Edi; Uprising. Washington, July 26.—President Gom- pers of the American Federation of La: bor has sent telegrams to officers of 38 national trade unions, calling for a con- ference to be held at Wheeling at noon Tuesday, July 27. This was done in- re- sponse to a telegram from President W D. Ratchford of the United Mine Work- ers of America, in which he says that peaceable assemblage and free speecl. have been forbidden and suppressed in West Virginia. Following is the call sent out by Pres- ident Gompers to the officers of nation- al trade unions: “President Ratchford of the miners just wires. that peaceable assemblage and free speech‘have been forbidden and. suppressed in West Virginia. In . compliance with his request I invite you to a conference to be held at Wheeling July 27. Similar invitation is extended to executive officers of all national trade unions. No duty is more important than attendance at this conference. The very presence of all to whom this is addressed will arouse the miners to their full duty and decide the contest in their favor. If your presence is impossible, send representative." President Gompers also sent a dis- patch to Mr. Ratchford informing him that the call had been sent out and ex- pressing thc hope that the miners will be victorious. . Officers of 38 unions were invited to T attend, it being impossible for repre- sentatives of all the unions to reach the place of meeting at the time decided upon. _ Fate of the Strilge 1n the Balance. Cleveland, July 26.—0n the action of the labor leaders at the Wheeling con- ference called for July 27 by President Ratchford of the Mine Workers’ union seems to hang the fate of the strike. It was intimated in this city that Batch: ford’s aim is to induce the trainmen to refuse to handle West Virginia coal. Chief P. M. Arthur’s refusal to attend the conference dOes not VoccaSion an‘y surprise among organized labor here. "This is not a matter which concerns our organization,’ said Mr. Arthur, speaking of the coal strike. "It is nat- ural that trainmen should feel a sym- pathy for the striking miners, and I suppose they do, but there is no reason why they should refuse to haul West Virginia coal the same as any other freight. It may be there :‘are some who. would be inclined to refuse to‘handle it. I have not been asked by any of our or- ganizations for any advice on the ques- tion. The organization has rules gov- erning its members in such affairs.” Ratohford, it is understood, hopes to induce the trainmen, switch'm'en and conduc‘tors, through their eaders, to re- fuse to handle. West Vi inia coal not _mined by union labor. If he accom- plishes that the operators concede the market would take a wonderful jump. Made the Injunction Permanent. Altoona, Pa., July 26.—Last Tuesday Judge Bell, sitting in court at Ebens- burg, Cambria county, granted a pre- liminary injunction enjoining some 45 striking miners, who are residents of Gallitzin, and their wives and others from congregating in the vicinity of J L. Mitchell & Co.’s coal mines and using threats and abusive language calcu- lated to frighten the imported miners now employed in the mines. The injunc- tion also forbids gathering at the rail- road station and other places in the town for the purpose of intimidating the new men now employed, or to be hereafter ‘ employed by the Mitchell company. Judge Bell has now, after an extended hearing, made the injunction permanent. A. A. Stevens, attorney for the coal operators, says this is the most impor- tant ruling ever made in Pennsylvania on the strike question, being on the same lines as the celebrated Debs in- junction case. He thinks it will effect- ually put a stop to riotous gatherings in connection with strikes and lab01 disturbances. Against a Sympathetic Strike. Pittsburg, Kan., July 26,—The dele -gates to the convention representing southeastern Kansas coal miners, in secret session here, adopted resolutions indorsing the eastern strike, but de- cided at the same time by an over- whelming. majority against a sympa- thetic strike. __~_ “'1' Look at Yonr .. :ns.

Peru, have at last been discovered.
