Health.

wILKEsBARRE. Pa. Sept. i7.-The
miners strike has tied up nearly all
the colllerirs in the Wyoming district.
After hearing reports from the mines.
the representatives Of the big coal COM
panies and operators went into confer
ence. They lid not look for compro-
mise now and are going to prepare for
the worst. 1t is known that detective
agencies in Pittsburg, Chicago and
New York have received orders to send
a large number Of operatives to the
Wyoming region at once.
The striking miners held a meeting
today. and there was a very large at
tendance. Reports from the various
mines that all hands had refused to go
to work caused great enthusiasm. Or
ganizer NicoIIs addressed the men. He
counseIed them to be on their good be-
havior.
At o'clock a few company hands
were at work at the Pennsylvania Com
pdA9 COlhtIy at IlttStou. lHcy were
cleaning up. and no coal was being
mined. The United Mine Workers are
pleased over what they term their vic
tory at Pittston. They had expected
that at least half Of the employees Of
the Pennsylvania Coal Company would
report for work this morning. The to-
tai number Of men idle in the Wyom-
ing region is $1,000.
At IL o'clock it was given out at
strikers headquarters that not a ton
Of coal was being mined in the Wyom-
ing valley. outside of the West End
Coal Company's eollieries at Moeara-
qua. A committee OF United Mine
Workers was despatched to Mocanaqua
TO confer with the miners there. and
if possible induce hem to quit work
there. The committee will have a diff
cult task as the company has always
treated its men with exceptional kind
ness.
