MlNERsA0AIN oNTHE MARCH
Late Reports Show the Men Are Gain
ing Strength.


HAzELToN, Pa, Sept 25.-About
o'clock this morning 300 men gathered
at the Cranberry colliery and marched
to Tom Hick, west of here, for the pur-
pose of endeavoring to prevent the men
employed at that place from going to
work The march was kept a secret
and the first known of it was when the
men were seen going in the direction of
Cranberry near midnight.
AS soon as the coal and iron police on
duty at Cranberry cOlliery discovered
the men congregating they quickly sum-
moned Sheriff Harvey, who was spend
ing the night at Jeddo. Accompanied
by few deputies he reached Cranberry
about 3 o'clock. The sheriff tried TO in
duce the men to dispense, but they in
sisted on marching.
The strikers left a squad of men at
Harwood to persuade the men to quit
at the colliery located there. At Tom
Hick the strikers broke up into four
groups and stationed themselves along
the public road leading to the mine
there. The sheriff and 80 men did not
interfere. One unruly striker was ar
rested.
All is quiet on the south side today
A few men were reported out at Jeddo
Reports received at headquarters show
that the strikers gained a considerable
number of men on the north side
This is the day fixed for the answer
of G. B. Markle g Go. to the demands
of their men, who presented list of
grievances ten days ago. The reply is
said to deal at great length with the
questions involved, but nothing can be
learned as to its purport.
The marchers were quite successful
the operators admit, in intercepting the
mine workers.
