Associated Press Dispatches by Special Wires.
Iazloton, Pa, Oot. 3.-There was
no material change in the strike situ-
alton hereatouts this morning. The
cullieries which have been working
since the Inauguration Of the strike are
still in operation. The mine workers
have completely ignored the notices of
the Lehigh Valley and the Lehieh &
Wilkesbarrs Coal Cos, to the effect
that an increase of 10 per cent had peen
granted 10 wages and that the price of
powder would he reduced, ard SO far as
oln be learned abcJt 10 sains numbnr
of men are idle tntiay as yesterday.
An attempt was .rads ut 2 O'Clock
this mornins: to blow uu with dynami TO
the house occupied by Michael Zuliek,
q nius worker. IN the easterc part OF
the city, hut no extensive damage was
caused. Iulick has heen working since
the strike went into eject. No other
cause % violence las been reporte,t.
As yet, there has been no move or
the Fart OF the individual ursi tors,
who are still! holding out AGAINST the
big coal mining aud coal. carr ing com
pan'es, to most notices of al advance
in wages to tins men in this regiou.
On. OF the mining superintendent,
speaking t day for an individual
operator controlling several colieires in
this district, sail that be did not
think that any notices Of an increase
would be posted at his mines, no
matter what the big companies do,
unless tho raj roads made some con.
eesslons as to tonnage rate.
Two marches took place this morn
log, one from Milinssvile, near here,
and the other from Crystal Ridge. The
Milnesyille MAI chers, 100 strong, went
to Lattirei but rot being allowed on
the eompap.: property. tbss could not
reach the worfmeE there. and nobody
stopped work Cranberry was he oh.
jeotive point Of the Crystal Ridge
marchers. They numbered only 70
men, aud did not succeed in accom-
pitshing anything in the way OF in
ducing men to refrain FROM going into
the Pardee mine, .at that place.
President Mitchell and the officials
of tho United Mine Workers Asso-
citation, who went to Wilkesbarre to
participate in the labor demonstration,
returned here at 10 O'CLOCK this morn
ing. The action Of the local union at
Shenandoah, in elocting delegates TO
the joint convention, which the strike
leaders say will be called before the
strike can be terminated was not
dictated by the officials at headquarters,
they say. President Mitchell says that
the local union did it probably through
mispnd rstandiug, or for the pur-
pose OF being prepared in case a con-
vention is suddenly called. The basis
OF representation in the convention,
Mr.. Mitchell rays, has not yet been
considered, but it will be fully sat
forth in the call for the con vention.

DOES NOT THINK STRIKE
is NEAR A SETTLEMENT

Scranton. Pa, Oct. 3.--There are no
Indications whatever today that there
will lie any response tomorrow to the
notices posted by the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna Il Western, the Lehigh Valley,
the Hillside Coal and iron Go. and the
Temple Coal and Iron CO., asking
their employees to return to work on
tho proposed wase inrrease of 10 per
cent and the towder reduction to con-
tract miners, with an adjustment of
miners wages based thereon. The
strikers everywhere are positively de-
termined upon taking no action which
is not ordered by President Mitchell
and the executive board of the United
Mine Workers. This position is de-
cided all over district No. /, EN-.
bracing the laokawanna and Wyoming
regions; and ut headquarters here,
this morning, Committeeman Burke
and Collins said the men could be de-
pended upon to stand firm in the
attitude they have taken. They hold
that the union must be recognized,
inasmuch az the concessions now
offered arc a result of the position
taken by the union as body, aud that
the fight will be won 90 this issue.
Superintendent Loomis of the Latka.
Whuuh comph0y 1s comment Ghat
enough Of his workmen will lie IN
hand tomorrow to warrant the operation
of two mines, at least. The union
officers say he will be disappointed, as
he was a week ago, when every effort
was made to start a single mine.
Superintendent May Of the Hillside
Coal and Iron Co. and the New York,
Susquehanna & Western Go. does not
thin the strike ia near a settlement
He said today: eff there is an under
standing between the heads in New /.
York and the strike leaders, and sur
face indications do not indicate that
there is such an understanding, the
strike may end in a week. Otherwise,
q settlement is further off than ever"
James j. Williams, WING operates
collieries which ship coal over the
Ontario e. Western railroad. said today
that all the individual operators were
provoked at the manner in which the
big companies are acting. As far as
the collieries he is interested IN were
concerned, he said, they did not know
that 10 per cent advance had been
agreed upon. Neither had the Ontario
d. Western people any official knowl-
edge of it this morning.

sioner, Takes His Seat as a Member OF
the Board. Gl
Park Commissioner Samuel H. Bay
nard took his seat as a member of the
board to auoceed the late George W.
Bush at tho meeting Tuesday after
noon. He was appointed member of
the executive COMMITTEES to- fill a
vacancy caused by Mr.. Bush IS death.
The board accepted the report Of the
executive committee, which showed
that the WORK of macadamizing Rock
ford Park driveway had been begun; ii
had been decided to place stone steps
from the Roadway up the bank above the
newly constructed spring near Harrison
street. Much damage was done by the
starm Of September 18th, and repairs
are being made as rapidly as possible.
1t was decided to procure stone and
screenings FOR surfacing Rockford drive
from thu Rrdsboro quarries. "A letter
was received from Mr.. and Mrs, Will
liam NJ. Fisld. asking, under their or :
raEgsmsnt with the city, that 600 foot
road be made from Riddle road at Kent
mere, to be finished during next year.
The matter was referred to the eseou-
pNo Sohlhibtce, auu LuBluetT5 lblHel
and Boughma are TO get up the plaus.
Superintendent L, isen made d most
encouraging report Of the use made
OF the bathhouse in Brandy inc Park
during the season Just closed, the show
ing being as follows: Total number Of
bathers, 20, 800; males, %, 928; females,
1,052; increase over last year. 3,
total receipts, STA. 10, paid by 9o1 men
and 321 women. He also recommended
that uniform rate Of 10 cents be
charged to men and women on paydays
next year and that an additional half
day be granted women upon which they
can battle upon paying the admission.
This would mean the reduction of the
number Of free days to women, but Ii
has been found that the attendance has
fallen of on free days and increased on
pay days. and II is believed the Iatter'
are preferable. The executive COM
mittee was empowered to revise The
rule.
Superintendent Leiaen announced
That the boSss ere to he removed from
