GREAT NUMBER OF
MEN ON STRIKE
STILL INCREASING
Many More Men Out ON Strike
in the Hard Coal
Regions.
MOCANAQUA MINERS BUSY
Out of the Ninety Thousand Men in
the Entire Lackawanna and
Wyoming Districts They
Alone Have Remained
at Work.
MOCANAQUA MINER' BUSY

Philadelphia, Sept. 1S.-If, as Presi-
dent Mitchell of the United Mine Work
ers claimed, 112,000 of the al 600 mine
workers in the Pennsylvania anthracite
coaliieds were idle Monday, it is certain
that this number has been considerably
augmented by additions to the strikers
ral';s. Reports from the four big dis
G!ei. embracing the hard coal region are
a he effect that fewer men are at work
BY we're working the day before and
t&, callieries that worked full handed or
narlr 50 are now either badly crippled
of shut down.
the weather has grown much colder,
aAd this change is greeted with JOY by
'u' mine workers, who believe it will
greatly increase the demand for coal and
thus force an early adjustment of the diff
fprences between them and their employ
el,,. Talk of arbitration is so persistent
that the hope is growing that this method
If settling the strike will finally be adopt
ed, although the mine owners declare
that they will deal only with their en-
rayoes as individuals, and the strike
leaders say they will insist upon formal
recognition of the union. This difference
would appear sufficiently strong to keep
employer and employee apart forever if
persisted in.
One little band of miners in the Wyo-
ming valley, those of the West End Coal
company at Mocanaqua, numbering a
few huadred men, stand out prominently
as the only men at work out of nearly
1000 in the Lacka wanna and Wyoming
region. Efforts to induce them to join
the strikers have failed. They say they
have always been treated kindly, they
have no grievances and they will there
fore remain loyal to their employers.

What Change There liz In Situation
Favors the Strikers.


Favors the Strikers.
Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 1S.-'rhe second
day Of the anthracite coal miners strike
began very quietly in this district. What
little change there was in the situation
was in favor of the striking miners. As
far as reports have been received from
all parts of the region there was not one
break in the ranks Of the strikers. and in
many mines there were fewer men work
ing.
Every official connected with the Unit
ed Mine Workers now in the district,
with the exception of President Mitchell,
started out before 8 O'Clock in the morn
ing for picket duty at various collieries.
When all returned to headquarters, they
reported that they had been successful in
inducing men to stay away from various
workings.
A number of the leaders also reported
that several Of the mines are being guard
ed by watchmen to prevent union meE
from attempting to induce nonstrikers to
quit work.
The first march of strikers in this re-
gion took place when about 100 men
from McAdoo, Audenreid and Yorktown,
headed by brass band, marched through
the south side en- route to the Coleraine
colliely with view TO inducing the men
at that place to quit work. The strikers
did not attempt to force them to suspend
work, but merely asked them to do 50.
In this the strikers were quite successful,
as a number of nonunion men returned
to their homes. The marching miners
then went back TO McAdoo and dis
pcrsed.
\ crowd Of Hungarian women Of NJ
Adeo, some Of them carrying clubs, sur.
rounded the Crawford and Dugan strip
pings at that place and requested the
men working there to quit Matters
looked squully for few minutes. but
the women were told that the work being
done there did not interfere with the
strike, and they returned to their homes
satisfied.
At Jeanesville washery a number of
men were held up ON the Hazleton road
while returning from work and were
forced to promise not to go to the mines.
They kept their promise.
Workmen of the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal company ut Audenreid were
engaged in pulling the fires from under
the boilers at those strippings. This in
uiSuteS Suoptusiou VI WOrk there.
Other reports from the south side give
instances Of individual cases of violence
against miners who did not quit work.
No one was seriously hurt.
II is estimated that the number of ad-
ditional n.n in this district who have
just Joined the strikers is about 500.
Most Of these recruits belong to mines on
the north side, where all but three col
lieries are operating with more or less
reduced force.
Many mine superintendent say they
have more men mt work than the union
men will admit. Strikers say some work
ers on the north side are not mining any
coal, but are running the machinery to
give outsiders the impression that thu
strike has not affected them. With one
exception, that Of the Eckley collieries,
reports show that fewer men are work
ing at all the mines on the north side Of
lIazleton.
