Iowa sought joint conference admission with operators
At the convention a push aimed to admit Iowa into the joint conference next year, with no set date for another conference. Opponents argued the enlarged body would be unwieldy, and Vice President Lewis warned the miners’ welfare did not rest on Iowa’s admission. A committee was named to draft a stamp system resolution, while speakers urged irrigation for arid Western lands and highlighted Kentucky miners’ prosecutions. The session adjourned after a noon break and a group photo.
