STRIKE DECLARED Off
At Least So Far as Owners Com
plying With Demands.
Much Rejoicing in the Different
Regions When the Announcement
Was Officially Made BY the
Mine workers officials,

Hazleton, Pa, Oct 26.-The mine
workers strike has been declared off
by the officials against all companies
which have complied with the stri-
kers demands, and the strike will be
continued against those companies
which have not granted the Scranton
convention demands. The strikers
will return to work Monday at the
places where the tie-up is ended.
There was much rejoicing here
Thursday night when the announce
ment was made that the coal strike
was at an end in so far as it con-
cerned the collieries where the con-
ditions demanded by the miners had
been complied with.
The news spread quickly, and soon
kilograms began to arrive at head
quarters. Most of them were from
local union officials congratulating
President Mitchell on the successful
ending of the contest.
Everywhere in the region local
unions had been awaiting the news
and in a moment after a press rep

The United Mine Workers officials
firmly believe that all the operators
against whom the strike has not been
declared off will concede the miners
demands by Monday. In fact, it was
said by one of the higher officials of
the union that the statement was not
drawn up until positive assurances
had been received that the other COM
panies would comply with the de-
mands.
No such assurance, however, was
received, as far as could be learned,
from q. r. Marl1le & Co., in this dis
trict, which is the only company that
has not offered an increase of
wages.
President Mitchell declined to say
anything in regard to the Marlle
company's opposition other than that

quarters will probably be closed next
week. President Mitchell will be in
Scranton on Saturday to participate
in a breaker boys demonstration,
after which he will make a tour of
the entire anthracite region.
Plans have already been mapped
out for jollifcation meetings in vari-
Gus parts of the coal fields to cele-
brare the ending of the strike.
Later on President Mitchell will 90

tiers at indianapolis.
Willlesbarre, Pa, Oct. 27.-The big
coal companies of the Wyoming val
ley are making preparations to re-
sumo work on Monday. The mules
that have been in pasture for the
last month or so were taken down in
to the mines Friday. The individual
operators are also getting things in
shape for work again, although as
yet they have not posted notices of
the 10 per cent. increase in wages.
1t is the impression in Pittston
that the Pennsylvania Coal Co. will
fall in line with the other companies
on Monday. The Susquehanna Co. at
Nanticoke has made no move as yet
and its 1900 employees are more or
less anxious as to what the outcome
will be.
Shamokin, Pa, Oct. 27-Fifteen
hundred angry men, women and chill
dren assembled near the Cameron
cOlliery Friday night and as the non
union workmen left for home they
were assalled by volleys of cobble-
stones. Although every one of the
workmen had been sworn in as spe-
cial policemen and were armed, they
did not shoot into the mob, which
was led by four women carrying
American flags. In escorting Paul
Klinger, the breaker boss, from the
mine his brother, Constable Joseph
Klinger, fired one shot at a crowd on
a bridge because they hurled rocks
at the pair as they traversed a rail-
road. Following the shot part of
the mob chased the brothers into the
city limits. Miles Dougherty, an Of

a brief address persuaded the mob
to dispense.
