ALL OFFERS IGNORED
Anthracite Operators Seem to
Make No Impression On
the Great Strike.
MITCHELL GIVES OUT A WARNING.
and Consider Nothing Except
In Convention.

Shamokin, Oct. The Polish band
started out this afternoon to gather
the strikers to march on the North
Franklin colliery, near Trevorton.
Several thousand marchers expect to
reach there tonight. a clash is feared
between the strikers and police.
HaZleton, Pa. Oct. 4-AnOther day
has come and gone without developing
anything new in the strike of the an
thracite coal miners OF Pennsylvania.
Although most of the big companies
have offered a mine workers 10 per
cent net increase i'll wages not 4 move
has yet been made by any of the strik-
arS towards 4 resumption of work.
The way the men have thus far stood
together without showing any weak
ness in any part of the ranks is con-
sidered remarkable by many persons
in this region, and though President
Mitchell and his colleagues say they
are sanguine of their ability to keep
the almost general tie up in force until
the operators further recede from their
position, they are not losing an oppor-
tuIity TO keep the men from being in
ituenced into reSuming work by ru-
InOrS OF settlements, agreements, etc.
Warning Issued by PresIdent Mitchell
Yesterday Mitchell was Informed of
the wide circulation of 4 story TO the
effect that he had reached an agree
ment with the presidents of the coal
mining and coal carrying railroads and
after verbally denying the report he
issued the following to the miners and
mine workers of the anthracite re-
gion:
I'VE have just been informed that
the report has been circulated at Ash
land to the effect that in conference
in New York this morning between
the coal presidents and myself an
agreement was reached which Will end
the strike. l desire to notify all mine
workers that the report is incorrect
and that have not been in conference
with the presidents of the coal COM
panies and have made no agreement
with them.
Wait Until Convention Is Called.
Il wish to reiterate what / said sew
erll days ago that there would be no
st ttlement of the strike until q con-
vCntion of the anthracite miners is |
held. You are further requested to pay |
no attention to statements of this kind |
and to continue the strike until such |
concessions are made by the operators |
as Will justify us in calling Il general !
when YOU will be regularly |
notified of the date and place at which |
lie convention Will be held"

Dynamite Gets irto Action.
A dispatch from Shenandoah says:
'The only important development in
| the strike situation in this district YES.
terday was the posting of notices by
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company at all of it's collieries
and in conspicuous places in the towns
net increase of 10 per cent. in wages
and Willingness to hear the gievances
of its employees. The local and district
organizers We're on the alert and in
less than five minutes after the com
pany's proposal had been placed a
warning TO the mine workers was cir
culated. In this town and vicinity
Organizer c. S. Potter distributed cir
culars printed in the English. Polish
and Lithuanian languages, calling on
the strikers to py no attention to the
company's offer. but to wait for the
decision of the mine workers conyen-
tion.".
Dynamite has again been used as an
inducement for men who are at work
to quit. An attempt was made at . a.
m. yesterday to blow up with dyna-
mite the house occupied by Michael
Zulick. mine worker. in the eastern
part of the city, but no extensive dam
age was caused. Zulick his been
working since the strike went into eff
feet.
The individual operators are op-'
posed to the 10 per cent increase--or
any increase. in fact-un.ess they can
get cheaper rates for the transporta-
ton of their coal to the seaboard. But
1t is probable that if the strikers con-
sent to go back to work at the terms
offered tire individual operators will
not stand in the way. They would
have to 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
if the representatives of the big COM
apnies are to be believed the individ-
ual operator is not the oppressed man
he would have the public believe he is
