Iron Ore Miners Along the East Penn

SHENANDOAH, PA, Feb. 5.-Nothing has
yet occurred to break the peace of the Sab
bath here. The rioting Poles have kept
themselves in the saloons that are their
headquarters, drinking and discussing their
plans for tomorrow. 1t is currently under
stood that they do not propose to allow any
body to work at either the Reading or in
dividual collieres, either at 'deadn or other
work if they can stop it. They believe, too,
that they have the power to prevent it and
boast that the moral support of many others
is at their back, and that labor agitators
have approved their acts.
MISERY AMONG THE MINERS.
READING, PA, Feb. 5.-The shutting
down Of so many furnaces for the want of
coal has caused misery in an unexpected
quarter. There being no demand for ore,
many of the iron ore mines along the East
Pennsylvania road have closed down. The
miners, who have large families, received
but 75c. TO 0Oc per day, and consequently,
even when working are in almost abject
poverty. About thirty of them with their
families have been compelled TO seek ad-
mittance to the Berks and Lehigh poor
houses until work is resumed
PoTTsvILLE IN SUSPENSE.
PoTTsvJLLE, PA, Feb. BIN contrast
with the excitement prevailing yesterday,
to-day in this city has been characterized
by staglant quietness. But while there has
been no demonstrative excitement, there
baa NO bal Loco laI
of uneasy suspense in anticipation of the
possibilities of tonight or tomorrow at
Shenandoah. The situation has been
the subject of conversation everywhere,
and there are few who believe that tho
degraded and ignorant Poles and Hunga-
rians who have been made the instrument
of more cautious, because more enlight-
ened, factors in the strike, will desist from
their lawless violence without severer
lesson than they have yet received.
SOLDIERS IN READINESS.
The members Of the two local companies
of the National Guard have fingered about
their armories all day specializing as to the
future and awaiting developments, and the
opinion is quite universal among them that
before order is permanently restored they
will be called into active service.
Sheriff Duffy tonight issued proclama-
ton reciting the Shenandoah disturbances,
cautioning the turbulent element to desist
under pain Of the penalties of the law, and
calling upon all good citizens of the county
to support and assist him in the mainte-
nance of peace. This legal formality is
likely to have little practical effect upon the
unrnly element, but in the event of any
further outbreak tomorrow it will probably
be followed by sharper and sterner meas
ures.
AID FROM NEW YORK.
NEW YoRK, Feb. 5.--Delegates from the
striking Reading coal miners were present
at to days meeting of District Assembly
No 40, and after the meeting a reporter
chatted with one of them. A delegate said
that the strikers had men in Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Canadian cities collecting
funds. These men had been very success
full and expected by Tuesday morning to
send Sl5,0 to the strikers.
