STRIKERS GET THEIR FREEDOM;
CAPT. SHIELDS REPORTED SLAIN

san Francisco, Oct. Through a
Decision rendered yesterday by the
United States circuit court of appeals
the ten Idaho strikers who were con-
victed OF a conspiracy to obstruct a
train carrying the mails will secure
their release from San Quentin. The
case is one growing out Of the big
strike in Idaho in 1888 and the destruc-
tiOn of the mill of the Buker Hill and
Sullivan Mining company. In their de-
decision Judges Gilbert, Ross and Nor
row call attention to the fact that the
indictment does not charge that the
conspiracy had for its purpose to
Knowingly obstruct the mails. Con-
tinuing, the judges said:
"The defendants are not charged
with the overt act of obstructing the
passage of the mails. but with con-
spiracy. It is the confederation and
conspiracy TO commit an oifense against
the United States that they are called
upon to answer. AS charged IN the in
dictment, the conspiracy Is declared
TO have for it's purpose to knowingly
hinder and delay the movement and
passage OF q certain railway car and
train, which car, it is subsequently al
legged, carried the mails of the United
States. II IS of no offense against the
United States to hinder and delay the
passage of a railroad car, and oonse-
quently it is no offense to conspire or
confederate for that purpose. Such
an Offense must be dealt with under
the laws of the state"

Shenandoah, Pa, Oct. 2.-Panther
Creek valley. on the border Of Schuyl-
kill and Carbon counties, is now the
objective point of the strike leaders.
The Lehigh Coal and Navigation COM
pany operates a number of big coll
lieries there, all of which have been
working undisturbed since the mine
workers strike was inaugurated. Sum
day night a branch of the United Mine
Workers was formed at COaldale by Or
ganizer Benjamin James, who yester-
day expressed himself as sanguine Of
success in closing down the operations
in the district
1t was feared by the officials OF the
company that the strikers who on Sun
day night drove from Hazleton to
Lansford and Coaldale would resort to
violence in an attempt to keep the
men away from the mines yesterday,
but no disturbance occurred. Gen. Co
bin was in communication with Sheriff
Toole until a late hour Sunday night,
but no requisitiOn was made by the
latter for troops, although he suggest
ed that the general be ready IN case OF
an urgent call. In order to secure def
mite information for Gen. Goblin con-
cerning the situation at Panther Creek,
Thomas Reese, superintendent Of the
Shenandoah powder works. acting in
the capacity of a special deputy, left
here at 2 o'clock in the morning for
Lansford. At o'clock he teiephOned
TO the general that the collieries were
all in operation and no attempt had
been made to interfere with the en-
ployes. Mr.. Reese returned from Lans-
ford in the afternoon and reported to
Gen. Goblin that the Lehigh companys
collieries were working full handed,
12 hours a day. He asserted that
10000 tons Of coal were being shipped
daily from the Panther Creek valley.
The number Of mine workers who join
ed the union is variously estimated at
from go to 250.

Mitchell that he anticipated a COM
plete suspension Of operations In the

PROPOSED ADVANCE is
IGNORED By The MINERS

ttN % iF
Hazleton, Pa. oct. 2.-Although the
labor leaders positively said they did
not fear a break in the ranks OF the
anthracite coal strikers. they were
nevertheless pleased to learn that the
10 per cent advance granted by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company in the Schuylkill valley
was totally ignored by the striking
mine workers yesterday. It was pre-
dicted that many of the strikers would
return to work under the belief that
the 10 per cent increase would be the
3imit Of the operators concessions. but
the unanimity of the men in deciding
TO stand out for a further advance
caused many remarks of surprise
It was expected in some quarters
that yesterday would bring a turning
point in the strike, but nothing came
TO the surface that would lead to any
indication of the strike nearing an
end. Since the operators began to
hold conferences President Mitchell is
receiving more information than for
merly and giving out less. That he
knows more about the situation than
he cares to tell is hardly doA5ted by
any one. He has practically admitted
that he receives advices from New
York as 10 the doings Of the operators.
There Is still a lack OF anything tanri-
ble on which 10 base the report of an
immediate settlement President Mitch
ell continues to deny that he knows
anything about IL.

nized they will not return to work.

ing statement:

duct won the respect and admiration of
