"Hazleton, Pa, Sept. IS, $40 p. M,

Reports received at our office from
districts No. /, No and No of the
anthracite coal regions show that there
have been great accessions to the ranks
of the strikers today. In district No. Z

the same as the first day Of the strike,
only 200 men remaining at work. The
total number of men idle is lis, 600
From every section of the anthracite
region reports indicate that much dis
satisfaction prevails among those who

in the strike and we confidently expect
that the number at work will grow less

Now, if Russia assents to the German
note, she will be unable to continue, says
the Daily News, to pose as Chinas len
lent and forgiving friend, while, if she
dissents, Russia will lay herself open to
the charge of reducing the punitive ex-
pedition to farce.
The London morning papers have little
but praise for what is called Germany S
admirable note. The Times goes so far
as to wish that the credit for making
such a proposal belonged to Great Brit
ain. The Morning Post alone, in cogent
and we'll reasoned editorial, points
out that if the real authors
and instigators of the uprising
should prove to be identical with
the personnel of the Chinese Govern
ment, it can hardly be expected that
they will deliver themselves up, and
that if the Chinese Government should
be designated as guilty it would be un-
der the ban of the powers, condition
of things only terminable by the con-
quest of China or a revolution producing
a new government.
Therefore,, says the Morning Post,
"The powers should carefully weigh the
matter before committing themselves. >"

OPERATORS DOUBT THIS
Bitter Feeling Develops Between Un-
ion and Non Union Men.
THIS OCCURS IN THE LYKENS DISTRICT
Numbers Of Unorganized Men Say They Have
no Grievances and Refuse 10 Strike.
Price Of Coal so Cts Higher
on the Ton.
(By the Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Sept. 1S.-The leader of
the strike says at the end of the second
day that $4,000 of the 141 900 mine work.
ers in the anthracite coal fields are idle.
No representatives of the mine operators
makes a statement for their side of the
matter, but individual mine owners dis
pute the strikers figures, saying there are
more men at work than the union lead
ers will admit.
The first advance in the price of coal
as result of the strike was made by the
Philadelphia and Reading Company to-
day, 25c per ton being added. This ad-
vance was promptly met by the local deal
ers who increased the price to consumers
soc. ton.
cloud appears on the otherwise peace
full horizon in the shape of a report from
Harrisburg that a bitter feeling is de-
veloping between the union and nom union
men in the Lykens district, located in the
upper end of Duplin county and involving
about $500 mine workers.
A concession was voluntarily granted
the 5000 employees of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company in the region west
of Mauchchunk. who will hereafter work
10 hours a day with an increase in earn
ings. These men were unorganized and
had not presented any grievances.
True to its declaration made before the
strike was ordered the Philadelphia and
Reading Company today brought it's mules
to the surface in two mines near Shamokin
that had been closed by the strike, and
announced that they were permanently
abandoned. This action makes it neces-
sary for the miners who formerly worked
in these collieries to seek work elsewhere.
The action of the 400 or more employees
Of the West End Coal Company at Mocana
qua. near Wilkesbarre in sticking to their
work, stands out prominently as the busy
feature of an otherwise idle territory.
They say they have no grievance. have al
ways received kindly treatment from their
employers and therefore resist every eff
fort to induce them to strike.
Father Phillips, the Catholic priest, who
has been an interesting figure in the
strike, both before and after. made a
statement to the public tonight, present
ing an argument of arbitration and urging
both sides to get together.
