THR TROUBLE IN THE MINING REGIONS
MOLLY MAGUIREs ON THE RAMPAGE.
The Heralds special says that at the
miners meeting at Scranton yesterday an
incendiary letter drove the men to subse-
quent violence in bloodshed. At Wilkes
barre the Lehigh Valley railroad employees
were paid off yesterday, also the miners of
the Lehigh and WIlkesbarre coal company.
The men are spending their wages. The
streets are full of drunken men. The col
llery pump is still idle, but it is thought no
harm will result if protection comes this
week. The trouble about Bethlehem,
Penn, is caused by incendiary labor agta-
tors from the upper Lehigh region. The
| Molly Maguires have driven the engineers
from the mine pumps of the Susquehanna
coal company's works at Nanticoke, and
several mines are partly flooded. The en-
| gineers refusing to join the strikers were
fired upon and Anthony Breed was fatally
wounded. The coal suspension is entire in
the Lehigh region. Three collieries of the
Spring mountain coal company suspended.
I Crystal Ridge and Cranberry collieries, the
Beaver Hook, Colerine and Treshon col
leries are all idle, also the extensive mines
| nt the T-nhish and Willsosborre coal COM
pany at Audenreid. Twenty thousand min
ers and laborers are out of work. There
is great suffering among the people. The
strikers threaten to compel the men in the
upper part of Schuylkill county to quit,
but the citizens are organizing to give the
invaders warm reception. At Phillips
burg, N. j., the Lehigh Valley railroad
strikers attempted to confer with Assistant
Superintendent Goodwin yesterday, but
| inf 1,at ba fnr
was past, and old hands were no longer
recognized. Applicants for work were SO
numerous that the company posted notices,
"No more men wanted" At Toledo 1900
strikers have possession of the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern grounds, and will
not permit the removal of freight.
