IS VERY A SERIOUS QUESTION
Hundreds of the Best Workers
Are Returning to Their

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4.-There were no
important developments during the day
in regard to the miners strike. An in.
teresting feature was the Reading com.
pany's notice to its employees that in
addition to its offer of 10 per cent in.
crease it was ready to enter into
arbitration with them in regard to any
grievances they may have. None of
tho strikers, however, have yet indi-
Gated their intention to return to work.
A rumor gained wide circulation that
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers had been in conference with
the presidents of the coal carrying
roads, and had agreed on terms of set
Element. When informed of the rumor
President Mitchell denied the rumor
and said he had not been in conference
with either railway officials or oper.
ators. He also issued a notice to the
miners that the report that an agree
ment to end the strike had been reached
was untrue. He further notified them
that there would be no settlement of
the strike until the miners themselves
in convention
Decided to Go Back to Work.
The work Of operating the workings
after the strike is settled is now be-.
coming serious question. Before the
strike began experienced men for the
breasters were scarce and for lack of
experienced men many breasters had to
remain idle. Since the strike began
hundreds of the best mine workers
have left the country for Wales. The
places of these men cannot be filled.
Councilman D. w. Jones of this city,
who has just returned from Wales, says
since the great coal strike in that coun.
try has been settled miners are very
scarce. The old hands left for many
parts, many going to the war in South
Africa and others to Australia. There
is scarcity of labor. American miners

American miners are writing daily for

were ordered to slow up rs soon as the
train had crossed the bridge. While
one man held revolver on the engine
crew his companion went back and cut
off the baggage and mail cars, leaving
the day coaches and sleepers standing
on the main line.
Acting under orders the engineer
pulled the train half mile down the
track, where stop was made. Here
the robbers approached the express car
and ordered Messenger Baxter to open
the door. He refused to do SO. Under
compulsion Engineer Donnelly at.
tached q stick of dynamite to the side
door of the car and blew it open. In
the meantime
Messenger Baxter Seized His Gun,
escaped from the door on the opposite
side of the car. AS soon as the door
was opened one Of the robbers entered
the car, while his companion marched
the engineer and fireman back to the
engine.
Baxter crept around in front of the
engine and seeing the robber keeping
guard over the engine crew fired one
shot, killing him instantly. AS soon as
the shot was heard the robber in the
car jumped to the ground and fed
through cornfield.
The dead man was picked up, placed
on board and the train was backed into
this city. The body was searched but
nothing was found on it by which it
could be identified. The robber who
escaped d was larger and taller than the
dead man, being apparently above six
feet in height The men wore masks,
overalls and jumpers.
The door Of the express car was badly
shattered by the explosion of dynamite.
