is NOW ON
One Hundred Thousand Men
Are Out Today.
The Struggle of the Anthra-
cite Coal Miners Began
This Morning--Brief Re-
ports From All Sections.

The strike order of the United Mine
Workers of America went into effect
this morning. From the telephone re-
ports received at the Tribune office up
to the time of going to press, the situa-
tion may be summarized as follows:
The Lackawanna and Wyoming val
leys are completely tied up; less than 5
per cent of the men are at work.
The Mahanoy City, Shenandoah, Mt
Carmel and Shamokin districts are shut
down.
The Pottsville and Southern Schuyl-
kill districts are working with largely
reduced force.
The Lykens valley district is partially
tied up, some mines being shut down
altogether, others working with one
half to three-fourths of their employees.
The Panther Creek valley, embracing
Tamaqua, Coal Dale and Lansford dis
tricts, are at work.
The Lehigh region is partially shut
down, the reports from the several towns
being given more fully below.

and drivers all remaining at home this
morning.
ECKLEY.
Eckley and Old Buck Mountain slopes

SOUTH SIDE.
Every colliery operated by the Lehigh
and Wilkesbarre Coal Company is shut
down. Not wheel is turning in this
section, except at Beaver Meadow and
Coleraine. Strike sentiment is strong
and men are well organized in all towns
but those named.
BEAVER MEADOW.
Union men met the miners employed
at Beaver Meadow and Coleraine
collieries this morning on their way to
work. All efforts to induce them to re-
main at home were futile, only few
miners at each colliery responding to
the appeals.
ENGINEERS AND PUMPMEN.
Orders were given last night by Presi.
dent Mitchell authorizing all engineers,
firemen and pumpmen to work until
further notice. To call out these EN-.
ployes would result in flooding several
mines, causing heavy loss.

BEFORE THE STRIKE.
Large Mass Meeting Held In Freeland
Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday Afternoon.
What was probably the largest labor
meeting ever held In Freeland took
place at the Grand opera house yester-
day afternoon. National Organizer
Benjamin James, of Jeanesyille, ad-
dressed the 900 men who crowded into
the building, and was followed by
George Stafford, who spoke to the Sla-
yonians. Upwards of 1000 people were
unable to gain admittance, and owing
to the disappointment of the other
speakers who were expected no overflow
meeting was held.
Mr.. James spoke for one hour on the
wrongs of the mine workers and the
causes which led up to the strike order.

Quantity and Quality.

We carry as large stock as
any other general store in the
region and the people tell us
that the quality of most articles
we sell are somewhat better,
and very often somewhat
cheaper, than you receive over
the average counter. Our
butter, eggs and groceries are
always fresh, and all our
goods are reliable.

Save You Money?

It's "volume" we're looking
for these days, and not our
usual percentage of profit.
The lower we make the price
the quicker you will buy our
goods, and we're figuring on
putting out hereafter twice the
quantity monthly, at half the
usual profits. 1t will pay us,
and it will pay you, to take
advantage of this proposition.

JEDI)O.

JEDDo.
The big coliery, No. 5, hoisted coal
this morning, but at noon only Is per
cent of the average days output had
reached the breaker. Drivers are scarce
and men employed at other occupations
are being pressed into service. About
40 per cent of the miners reported for
work this morning. Freeland employees
of this colliery who are idle today have
nothing to say regarding the reported
arbitration offer Of their employers,
other then to express themselves in
favor of arbitration and to add that
Mr.. Markle ought to have made his
offer when first addressed by the miners
representatives and not on the eve of
the strike.
DRIFToN
The greatest surprise of the day was
the shutting down at No. 1 mine at
Drifton. The men employed at COM
pany work reported with scarcely an
exception, but the miners and drivers
remained at home. 1t was steadily as
serted by the Drifton officials that their
men would not strike.
At No. 2 Drifton the miners were at
work, but not in sufficient force to keep
the breaker going steadily. Cars are
being hoisted every fifteen or twenty
minutes.
UPPER LEHIGH.
All work is at standstll. So few
men presented themselves at the slopes
this morning that no effort was made to
run the breaker. Over 90 per cent of
the miners are members of the union.
HIGHLAND.
No. breaker is hoisting cars at an av-
erage of one every forty-five minutes.
Few miners are at work. Drivers are
absent. No l slope has coal loaded,
but drivers are not at work.
oAKDALE.
Both collieries in Oakdale are working
with 10 per cent of the usual force at
their stations.
HALE BROOK.
Works are entirely shut down. Men
are unorganized, but no miners appear
ed at the mines today.
SANDY RUN.
Sandy Run is working today. Several
of the foreigners are absent, but not
enough to hamper the operators. The

The large and increasing circulation

The large and increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is matter for congrstulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of Its class in the coun-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publ
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $1.9O for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically q good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals 1t. A
county paper, y farm paper, poultry
paper, q farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers' Institute, all for $1.90.
Come In and order them.
