NO ACTION TAKEN
Demands of the Scranton Com
yention Not Brought Before
the Operators.
Latter Assert They Will Only
Deal With Their Miners as
Individuals.
Fifth Week of the Strike Opens
With No Practical Change
in Situation.

WILKFsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 16.-Opera-
tors who were interviewed regarding
the prospects of the anthracite strike
being settled, said the men can return
to work again as soon as they accept
the offer of the companies to increase
their wages 10 per cent. Officially they
do not know of any overtures by the
strikers for settlement on any other
basis. They have read of the action of
the convention at Scranton, but it was
a convention of United Mine Workers
and they do not and will not recognize
tie union.
Their first official knowledge Of any
proposals by the strikers will be when
the men Of each company, represented
by committee, call on
The Oniciais of the Company
and declare the men have agreed to go
back to work if the operators will grant
their requests, and then they will SUBJ
NIT the resolution of the convention
their proposal for a settlement. This
is the only way in which the operators
will receive any communication from
the men. Superintendent Lathrop of
the Lehigh Vall,y company said:
1.-THE operators will not agree TO con-
tinue the payment of 10 Per cent in
crease for any fixed time. The other
demand-abolishing the sliding scale
does not apply to this region, although
the Lehigh Valley company has one
collieries in the Lehigh and Schuykin
region which Fay by this system.

NO MORE MEN AT WORK.

Fifth Week OF the strike Opens With the
situation Unchanged.
HAZLETOy, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE fifth
week of the coal miners strike opened
quietly. The few collieries that have
continued in operation since the strike
was inaugurated are working as usual
with the same number of men they had
in the mines last week. Not one of the
collieries, however, is working full
handed. At the Cranberry mines of A.
Pardee & Co., more men are at work
than at any of the other mines. The
company claims to have more than half
of its men at work.
Two crowds gathered during the
morning, one at No. 40 shaft Of the
Lehigh Valley Coal company in this
city, and the other at the Cranberry
mines on the outskirts of the town, but
they dispersed before daylight without
causing any trouble.

When all have arrived, a grand march is
formed and each child repeats the rhyme
corresponding with the character taken
as he or she pays the compliments of the
season to the host or hostess.
When refreshments are served, little
Jack Horner must be asked to preside
over his famous pie, which is made as
follows: Take the largest tin pan pro
durable or a small wooden tub. Fill with
fine sawdust and tiny souvenirs for each
child, wrapped in tissue paper, tied with
ribbon, with one long end placed in the
pie pan" Over the top stretch two
thicknesses of tissue paper; paste around
the edge; first draw the ribbons through
the top of the paper with steel crochet
hook so they will all lie on top. Cover
the top with crfnkled fringes of tissue
paper SO it will look pretty. At a given
signal each child is to take hold of a rib
bon, and all together they will sing Lit
tie Jack HOrner," etc. When the line

are pulled and each child is wild with
