OR ANY OLD THING, USED

They Invaded Works and Compelled
Some 300 Miners to Quit Work
Military Subject to Sheriff Martins
Orders-Operators Insist Upon the
Militia Remaining.

Hazeltton, Pa. Sept. 1.-two hun
dred and fifty ONE made more trou-
BILE this morning than the 10000 strik-
ing miners have caused since last Fri
dly's shooting. They were foreign wo-
men Of the McDoo and Ausdenried dis
| tricts.
Armed with clubs, rolling pins. pokers
and any weapons they could find, they
invaded the washeries, which have hfth-
erto teen working, and forced the men.
about 800 in number, to quit work. AS
the men we're husbands, son or broth
ers OF the women. in most instances they
made no resistance. although this is the
first successful move to get them out.
In every other part Of the region quiet
prevailed. The strike may now be said
to be general, as there is not a colliery
OF Importance in operation.
Originating as it did in the petty dis
agreement between the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre company mule drivers and
their employees. and having spread until
it now affects nearly 10000 men and
most of the principal operators Of the
middle coal fields, this strike has been
one OF the most peculiar ever inaugural
ed in the region.
The miners have no organization. In
many instances they do not know ex-
acIly for what they struck, except that
they felt that they have been unfairly
| treated and that they want more pay.
In 50 per cent o. the idle colleries they
are at a loss to show how much they
want, and in such cases they have quit
work without ever asking for an in
crease.
The length OF the stay OF the military
in the Hazelton district will depend on
| Sheriff Martin. General Goblin says he
| stands ready to withdraw the soldiery
il the sheriff says so.
A m that the sheriff had conclud-
ed to assume the responsibility brought
an avalanche OF kilograms from the coal
companies, advising the sheriff not TO
let the military go until there was a more
settled feeling in Hazelton and vicinity.
Labor leaders say the troops prevent a
settlement Of the strike and give the
operators an advantage.
