STRIKE WILL END SOON
According to Expectations ExpresSedat
HazletOn Tuesday Afternoon.
DATE HAS NOT YET BEEN SET
More Companies Are Posting
Notices.
PREPARATIONS FOR COAL SHIPMENTS

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 23.--There was
not one person around the national
headquarters of the United Mine
Workers today who did not believe
that the end of the strike would come
within "a very short time.
President Mitchell, Notwithstanding
contrary reports, has set no date Tor
calling off the strike. As soon az all
the operators signify their willingness
to pay the 10 per cent advance in wages
until April, the national executive
board will be called into session, ana
will vote to end the contest.
The operators are not posting the
notices as rapidly as the mine workers
officials expected, but the strike leaders
appear to feel confident that all of
them will soon have done SO. President
Mitchell appears tu be more anxious
about the Delaware. Lackawanna &
Western and the Delaware & Hudson
Coal Cos. than any of the others.
These companies have taken such a
prominent part in the struggle that it
is believed that as soon as they post
supplemental notices the other opera
tors will fall in line.
