ON THE FENCE
ARE The MINERS
AS TO STRIKE.
Not Movo Made by the United Mine
Workers Of America-Mitchell
Absolutely Silent.
THE QUESTION OF POWDER
One of the Important Matters-Sev-
eral Large Companies Have Ac-
cepted the Scranton Scale.

HAZLETON, Pa. Oct. 1S.-As far as
ending the coal miners strike is con-
cerncd, not move In that direction was
made by the United Mine Workers Of
fc!als to-day. President Mitchell Is
absolutely silent on all questions per-
tanning to the termination of the con-
test, and It Is not believed that he will
have anything to say on the subject Of
the called meeting for the national eH-
ecutlve board for the purpose Of consld-
erlng the question OF n formal declara-
ton calling the strike of. When that
shall bc, depends. 1t Is understood, en-
tirely upon the operators
The feeling IS prevalent here tonight
that the decision OF the operators meet
ing at Scranton to-day TO insist that
the reduction In the price OF powder
must be taken into consideration in de-
termining the net ten per cent increase
in wages. has complicated matters
somewhat. Further delay in reaching
an amcablc adjustment OF the trouble
Is now feared.
Situation Same as Ever.
The situation otherwise is precisely
the same rs that which obtained when
the first notice Of the ccal companies
were posted on October =. There Is now
the Reading company. which was the
first to post a notice of an advance in
wages. and was quickly followed by
other large coal companies and nearly
all the smaller individual operators. af-
ter which Mr.. Mitchell issued the call
for the Scranton convention.
Up to tonight four companies In the
Hazle,on region have posted notices ac-
cepting the Scranton convention de-
mands.
They are the Lehish Valley Coal Co..
operating n half dozen collIeries in this
4 vicinity; Calvin, Pardee & Co., two COL
ller!es; Van Wycklc estate, two COL
\ lerles, and A. Pardcc & Co., one COL
liery.
Il Mitchell Reticent.
Mr.. Mitchell Is extremely reticent. It
Is supposed he desires to hear from the
district officers before making any pub
lie expressions as to the probability OF
an carly resumption OF work.
A meeting OF union mine workers
was held here to-day. and arrange
ments were made for holding labor
demonstration In this city mex. Mon
day.
The feature Of the demonstration will
be parade, followed by 4 mass meet
Ing. Mt which President Mitchell will be
the principal speaker. The mayor OF
this city. who refused to allow the str!-
kers to parade two weeks ago. has
granted permission for the demonstra-
tion next week.
