600 mine workers IS at least complete as

strike, claimed at any time. Companies
and individuals owning mines who had
claimed that their workings would operate

the attitude of their men. 1t is true that
some operations in the Hazleton region

idle.
In the Scranton and Wilkesbarre districts

PottSville for a central point, at work
with very few defeCtiOns. These men have
not the same grievances that prevail in the
other districts, and if they go strike it

and the third at MOnett 1t was barely

Notwithstanding, there was a large crowd
awaiting the arrival Of the train, and they
cheered Justify when Mr.. Bryan came into
view. He did not speak to exceed five
minutes 1t either Springfield or Aurora,
but at Monet he left the car and addressed
the crowd from the elevated porch Of a
nearby hotel. His talks were all along
general lines. referring principally to the
trusts and TO Imperialism and suggesting
questions to be put to republican opponents.
AT Monett he referred to the disposition
possible, saying: II agreed to make two
speeches day, but find it difficult to re

suburbs of this place, and employing be-
tween $500 and 10000 men and boys, We're
completely tied up this morning by the
mine workers going on strike. In the
Mount Carmel and Locust Gap districts it
is at yet impossible to give the exact num-
Der of men on strike, owing to the col
lieries being widely separated. At the
United Mine Workers headquarters the
leaders claimed 80 per cent of the men in
the above districts did not report for worn.
The operators had no figures to give out
They say large number of men here and
between Mount Carmel and Centralia were
intimidated by strikers stopping men near
and at the collieries and inducing them to
go home. Large numbers of strikers re-
mained awake all night in order to argue
with men going to work at daybreak. Sew
eral fist fights occurred between strikers
and men going to report for duty.

NO POLITICS IN STRIKE.
PRESIDENT Mitchell Declares Emnhat-
icnlly This Point,

HAZLETON. Pa, September 17.-In
speaking of the charge that politics might
have something to do with the present
strike. President Mitchell today said
Politics will not, cannot and must not
enter into the strike. Personally l ap-
proach the contest as a mother would her
babe in its first illness. The sole object of
that mother is restoration of her baby s
health. The men who are called leaders in
this strike are animated with the same con-
sideration. There cannot be and shall not
be any contention i'm political sense as
the declaration of the strike. The leaders
feel, and they want their men to feel and
they want the public to know that this is q
fight for human liberty. 1t would be nom
sensical. it would be cruel for any one to
inject politics."

HARRISBURG, Pa, September 1.-THE
miners at LykenS and Wisconisco went on
strike this morning in obedience to the or
der Of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea. About fifty out of the 1000 employees
of the coal company went to work, but not
enough to start the breaker, and 1t is said
the collery will close down. The union has
a membership of GOO at Lykens and Wis
conisco, and a meeting was held yesterday,
at which it was decided to strike.
The men at Tower City and Williamstown
are working, and no trouble is anticipated.
Meetings were held last night at these
places to try to persuade the men not to go
to work, but the speakers apparently made
no impression upon them. The colliery at
Lykens and WisconiSco employs l 100 men
and boys and that at WilliamStown about
LOO. Both are controlled by the Pennsyl-
Vania railroad, and have been working full
time for many years. Tower City employs
