with two weeks money coming to the
 men. The Coxe mems grievance is that
 they are on a lower scale than that paid
 by any other company in the region, but
 the company store feature does not fig
 ure in their case.
 Another late afternoon report was that
 the employees of ex-Congressman Leis- enrings Lehigh colliery win go out to-
 morrow on a sympathetic strike. As an increase of 10 per cent. was granted on Saturday to tfis McAdoo men they have expressed their intention to return to work tomorrow, although they do not
 expect to remain in more than a. day
 under the pressure that will be brought
 to bsar by the other strikers Altog ether an eventful day is in prospect.
 General Gobin said this afternoon that | the withdrawal of troops had not been l considered for moment. They will re- !. main on the ground until the sheriff is convinced that he wilf be fully able to cope with any emergency that may arise. The rumors that martial law had been declared, the general says had been
 spread by son.e vicious person. There is martial law only so far as a state of
 war exists,she said. We are here merely to assist the sheriff in maintaining peace | and order. Men can come and go as
 they please, so long as they behave
 themselves. If there is the slightest in-
 fraction of the peace which the civil au-
 thorities are unable to handle, then we
 will render assistance. but such con-
 dition has not yet arisen.
 The first discor1 between the milf ary and the strikers occurred today, follow ing Gen. Gdbin's order against the pro- posed funeral demonIstration He ar
 ranged for a conference dhts morning with the Pelssh priests, Nflo are look ing after tine cause of the men. He im- pressed chem with the necessity for not making show Of military chatacter, and said he would permit of no unf- fornled men to participate except those representing religious societies. Blnds of nusic, side arms, sticks and banners
 were also prohibited. The priests prom | ised that This should be done and the I commander, on the other hand, agreed
 to keep all troops away from the funer-
 al. Somebody stole a march Oh the gen. l eral. however and although he later evoked the clause excluding music, there i were men in line wearing untlform of l the Italian army and others carrying l Thy-oxx rsf Taa-1 I in front of the church during the cere- l monies within. Learnrng of this the
 commander promptly dispatched staff l officer a1ld ccmpany of men to the | cemetery, but when they reached there l the followers and cnournsrs had dis pcrsed. The general called for an ex- plantation from the clergymen. As u mater of fact, there was little change in the programme adopted for the msn-
 eits fureral. There were twelve in all,
 but two preceded from Ha.wood direct
 to the cemetery wfthors regard to the
 dthers, who united in an immense co1'.-
 ege. Nine bodies lie in the shop of Un-
 dertaker Benin, in Hazleton, where they were viewed by great crowd fcf
