mine workers in the anthracite coal regions OF
Pennsylvania, which President Mitchell Of the
United Mine Workers Of America has officially
ordered to begin tomorrow morning will be
one Of considerable magnitude seems certain to-
night from reports received from the regions
affected It seems equally certain that a num-
Der OF operators will make an effort to run their
collieries, even though they may be short
handed, but whether they will be successful only
can be determined when the breaker whistles
sound the call 10 work. The operators gen.
orally viii have their coIlieries in condition 10
begin operations and the whistles viii blow as
usual but large number of the employers
admit that there is but little hope Of being able
to start.
To-day was one of quiet throughout the entire
coal district The mine workers were orderly
and their leaders were busy addressing meetings
TO encourage and inspire the members of the
union and TO win over such Of the non-unlon
men as they could Many Of these latter. al
though not favoring a strike will it is, the gen
eral opinion, remain away from the mines rather
than bear the criticism and reproaches Of their
fellow workmen.
