Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 15.--Despite a
variety Of alarming rumors ahd morn
ing movement by body OF miners
which looked formidable. Tuesday
passed off without serious disturbance
in the strike region. Matters still wear
such an uncertain aspect, however, that
Gen. Goblin declares that the removal
Of the troops or Of any portion of them
has not been contemplated.
The strike itself is spreading with
great rapidity. Exact estimates OF the
number of men who have quit work are
hard 10 obtain, but conservative fig
urcs place il close TO 10000, with indi-
cations that in a short time every col
liery OF Importance in the region will
be idle
Although some disposition has been
shown by small bodies Of strikers in the
outlying districts TO make demonstra-
tons, they have been OF a rather feeble
character, and the great majority of
the men are docle.
These mines are now idle: Coke
Brothers q Co, Eckley, Beaver Meadow
and Oneida, about 1000; Lehigh e.
Wilkesbarre Coal company's Honey
brook and Audenreid mines about
$500; Frank Pardee's Cranberry and
Crystal Ridge, 100; Lehigh Valley Coal
company Hazel mines, Yorktown,
GAINESVILLE and Audenreld, 1900; Calvin
Pardee a. Co.'S Latimer and Harwood,
1000.
The first city troop Of Philadelphia,
which was dispatched at an early hour
TO the scene of the reported outbreak
At Eckley, found nothing for it TO dc
when IL reached that place about one
o'clock. Several hundred miners from
Buck mountain marched on the EclSley
mines and brought out the men there.
A few OF the men who showed dispo.
sition 10 continue work We're roughly
handled, and the mine superintendent,
fearing trouble, wired 10 Gen. Goblin for
troops. lie also sent word TO Drifton,
and 20 deputies from that place and
Roam Junction, near by. were sent over.
They kept themselves under cover AT
Eckley. however, waiting develop
ments. Nothing further happened.
The men at Eckley joined the ranks OF
the strikers.
The women marchers, who were ar
rested Monday, were released on bail.
ind were at the miners headquarters
Tuesday, where they were met by a
number Of other women from Plum
Creek. One OF the women said: 1--WE
are going 10 march Wednesday morn
ing. and will not let the deputies stop
rs We do not violate the law, but the
deputies do. They insult the women
and spit In their faces. They try 10 get
us to go on company property, and even
pull MS on so they can arrest us. We
intend TO keep on the public road and
they cannot prevent us from march
ing"
