SENTIMENT AGAINST STRIKE.
Pottsville, Pa September 10 All the
collieries in the Schuylkill region are at
work as usual. There is said to be prac-
ticalIy no organization of miners here
Whatever organization there is is scat
tered through the towns in the Mahonoy
and Shenandoah valleys. The Philadel-
and other large coal corporations pay
their hands semi-monthly, and have no
company stores and charge but 81 go for
powder, other mining supplies being rel
atively low. The sentiment here is APP
parently against a strike and If the mine
workers go out, 1t Will be out of sympa-
thy.

1t is admitted by the operators that all

But All Were Running ia the HazlctOn
District.
HazIeton, Pa, September l3.-The ex-
caused hsra last night by the
receipt OF President AIitchell's order had
died out this morning and q better feel
Ing prevails although everybody FEARS
the consequences OF a shut down Of work
If the order from indianapolis shall be
obeyed throughout the Hazleton region.
Some Of the cnIlerios were short handed
this morning but all are IN operation.
1t was not until last night that the official
order declaring the strike and requir-
ing all miners to quit work on Saturday
evening was circulated here and oonse
quently few members of the union re-
manned at home today believing that the
strike was to take effect at once.
Various estimates Of the strength OF
the mine workers union and the number
of men who viii strike have been made.
but no one Is in position to say just how
many hands viii quit whea the time
comes. There are some miners who say
they will attempt to work under any cir
cumstances. 1t is believed, however,
their number is comparatively small The
GOAL companies Will demand full protection
for ali who desire to work and 1t is
asserted by their officials that no interior
ence Will be allowed. The members Of
the United Mine Workers Will strike to a
man. They arrived at this decision at
the district convention held here last Sat-
urday. But there are many miners who
have refrained from joining the union
and their action on the strike question is
Droblematical. Undoubtedly many of
them will strike. The strike win serious
ly affect business, and merchants are pre-
pairing to protect themselves. Many fam
lies have ordered flour to last for several
months but the orders cannot be filled, as
merchants refuse to deliver more than a
few dollars worth of goods on credit to
people whose sole dependency is the
mines. Most of the colleries will pay
their men this week and miners who VIII
be idle on account of the strike, say they
will lay in an extra supply Of provisions
and groceries, paying for all they get in
cash. L. p. Pardee, presidents of the Ha-
zieton National bank and executor of the
A. 5. Van Wyckle estate operating the
Coleraine, AIilnesville and Evans collier
les, employing altogether about 1900
men, said today:
Il have notified Superintendent Ayres
to inform the workmen at Coleraine that
If they feel SO disposed they can go on a
strike, but when the astrize is declared
of they viii find no work at that place,
as the collieries will be abandoned The
company has been losing money for some
time"
In statement Issued this afternoon by
Rev. Father Phillips, who has been en-
deavoring to bring aobut meeting be-
tween the operators and the mine work
ers, he says that long ana hard strug-
gle is ahead, but that it is his opinion
the strike viii ultimately mean defeat for
the miners because OF the determination
Of the operators to light the union to the
bitter end. Father Phillips says he deep
" sympathizes with the miners in their
efforts.
