INSURGENT OPERATORS
Arb IN A DEFIANT MOOD

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 4.-None of the
insurgent operators have come over to
the side OF the three companies offer
ing the 10 per cent increase, and OF all
that are standing ont the Delaware and
Hudson is the only one that says it
may come into the agreement.
The Delaware. Laekawanna and
Western expects that the offer will
have the effect of bringing around
enough men TO start a few of its col
lieries The Cayuga, in North Scran-
ton, was counted upon as the one most
likely to have q goOdly response to its
gong. Last night Local Union No. sos,
OF the United Mine Workers, which en-
braces the Cayuga employees, met in
St. Mary's Hall and adopted a resolu-
tlOn declaring the members would pay
no heed 10 the 10 per cent offer, and
that no further action would be taken
until advices were received from Pres
ident Mitchell.
If no Lackawanna men return to
work, and the miners officers say not
a man will respond TO the gongs, It will
mean much in this community, as it
Will indicate very strongly what the
miners think Of the offer.
The sentiment here Is strongly in
favor Of demanding the recognition Of
the union as a condition precedent to
any negotiations for settlement Should
this sentiment prevail the strike Will
be of long duration. it is expected, as
the operators positively assert that
under no condition will the union be
recognized.

Shenandoah, Pa, Oct 4.-The only

spicuous places in the towns and min
ing patches announcing a net in

any change in the Wyoming valley un-
CT the union miners take official action
on the 10 per cent increase in wages
offered by the big coal companies The
talk about the individual operators OBJ
jecting to the offer made to the men by
the companies is not taken seriously
by the trade here.
The representatives of the Delaware
and Hudson, Lackawanna, Lehigh VAL
ley, Labigh and Wilkesbarre company
say II the strikers consent to 20 back
20 work az the terms offered the indi-
vidual operators will not stand in the
way. In fact, it would do them no
good to stand in the way. They would
have 10 pay the miners the same
wages as the big companies or allow
their mines to remain in idleness. This
they are not willing to do, as was
judged from the actions of certain
operators the past week They have
been grumbling a great deal because
the big companies do not do something
and get the men back to work. And
II the representatives Of the big COM
panies are to be believed, the indi-
vidual operator is not the oppressed
man he would have the public believe
he is. He gets his share of the sales
and in great many cases his oper-
ating expenses are a great deal less
than the big companies
The question of manning the mines
should work be resumed at an early

tion. Before the strike was begun ex-

breasts in the mines which the Oper-

the strike began hundreds of the best
miners have left the country for Wales.
The places OF these men cannot be
filed at once.
Councilman d. w. Jones, of this city,
who has just returned from Wales,
says since the great coal strike in that
country has been settled miners are
very scarce. The old hands left for
other parts, many going to the war in
South Africa and'ot to Australia.
There is a scarcity of labor. American
miners are in demand. and relatives
of Welsh-American miners are writing
daily for them to come back to the old
country II does not require a second
invitation for many With the promise
OF good wages and steady work they
are leaving on every ship.
