TROUBLE AT SHAMOKIN
An Uprising Was Averted by Cool
 Heads Among Miners

Shamokin, Pa, October 4.-An uprising of strikers in this region seemed imminent for several hours late today, and there were forebodings of a serious clash be- tween armed deputies and a large body of striking miners. Prompt action of some of the cool headed officials of the miners the threatened conflict
 Three thousand strikers, headed by a band and thee hundred slate pickers boys, the latter carrying small American flags, left Mount Carmel at o'clock this even ing to march to Treverton, sixteen miles distant, to compel the workmen of the North Franklin colliery to remain at home tomorrow. Then the Franklin operation had not ceased work since the strike start ed, and strikers from all over the region were angered over the failure of the Tre- verton men to tie up the colliery, hence as the Mount Carmel marchers swung along the highway they declared they would not be baked in their effort to take the matter up themselves. Meanwhile the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company had rushed a special train con- sisting of five carloads of deputies from Schuylkill County to the scene. General Gobin, at Shenandoah, had also been asked to hold himself in readiness to send troops
  the sheriff should call for military aid. President Fabey of the Ninth United Mine Workers district, telephoned from Potts- vile to George Maritime, secretary of the district, to stop the march.
 Maritime, accompanied by several local members of the executive board, hurried up the road, and at Greenridge, three miles out from Mount Carmel, came upon the marchers. The committee mounted a plat form, and Maritime, in five-minute ad- Gress to the highly excited men, persuaded them to go home. Then he hurried to this place, where 5000 miners were gathered, on Shamokin and Commerce streets, awaiting the arrival of the marchers. From hotel balcony Maritime told of his successful mis- sion and pleaded with his auditors to dis perse. They did so. Some time later off, cials of the North Franklin announced to prevent trouble the colliery would not be operated until the strike was settled.
 At 1:30 o'clock tonight General Gobin rescinded the order sending Battery c home. He said that owing to the unsettled condition in the Shamokin region he thought 1t wise to keep the battery here for time.

Detective John Hall viewed the place

crooks did the work. Sergeant Reynolds,

present at the investigation. and said that
a similar case has come to his notice in
Newport News recently. and that the work
