In New Jersey In 1868 while his
father was governor of that stnte.
Ills first profession was that of an
actor, playing successfully In "Ham
let" with Booth nnd Barrett. Later

his own.
In 1892 Colonel Newell went to
Colorado and engaged In mining nt

fit to tho district organization, the
meeting has been characterized aa
a mlno run.
It Is pointed out by d strict offi

of tho present strlko being of long
duration, Jho so-called defense fund
from which the strike benefits nro
to bo paid will soon become ex

Tho convention will be asked to vote
on n proposition to suspend the pay
ment of strike benefits until n more

entirely. When tho defense fund Is
exhausted several hundred minors of
Texas who were locked out long be
foro the national strike began will

As all ot tho miners aro now on

there Is remoto possibility of bor
rowing funds from other districts,
according to officials.
The spectacular feature of the

President John Wilkinson Is consid
ered one of the strongest supporters
of International President John L.
