OPERATORS DESPERATE.
VIII Make Determined Attempt TO
Start Up Part OF the Mines.

Scranton, Pa, September 26.-The
gains that the strikers have been making
in the SchuyIkill region, has had the
effect Of urging the operators OF this
(Lackawanna) district to activity The
plan of the operators is to have each of
the big corporations start up a few mines
and keep them going at all costs. 1t is
confidently expected that employees of four
and possibly five, individual collieries,
will resume work when the big companies
begin to get under way and with good
proportion of the men back at work, it
viii not be long before all win have re-
turned. Commissions for 400 coal and
iron police issued by Governor Stone
were received today by Recorder Of Deeds
Warnke and distributed among the five
big comp anies.

COMPLETE TIE UP.
The Last Gallery In Shenandoah Re
glon Closed.

Shenandoah, Pa September 26.-The
closing tonight of the Cam bridge colliery
operated by the Cambridge Coal COM
pany, completed the tie up in the Vicinity
of this borough This was the only col
liery working today between Hazleton
and ASH nd. ID. r. James, a member
of the firm says that the company decided
to suspend operations to insure the safety
OF the employees. Brookwood washery
was working with a full force this morn
ing when a number of strikers visited the
place and induced the men to return to
their homes. At Ashland tho east col
liery resumed today with almost It's en-
tire force The Petts colliery at Locust
dale, and Locust Spring colliery at Lo-
Gust Gap are also in operation, There is
no change in the situation at Mahonoy
City.

Complete Tie Up in The Shenan-
dOah District.

Hazleton, Pa, September 26.-The re-
quest made yesterday by Sheriff Harvey
for troops, although not refused, was not
granted by Governor Stone. The sheriff
and state officials at Harrisburg, however,
have an understanding between them
and If the necessity arises soldiers will
be thrown into this region in short order.
There were no distuI Dances reported in
this region today Rumors OF oontem-
plated marches OF strikers are constantly
in circulation, but as far as can be
learned, there is no truth in any OF them.
The crisis at the mines OF G.. b.
Markle q Company has been
1ea ched. There were many expressions
among the men today of dissatisfaction
against some of the firms answers to
their demands. The principal grievance
OF the men is the wage scale.
They ask for only about half of what
the United Mine Workers are demanding.
Operations at the Markle collieries
were suspended today, so that the en-
pIoyes could hold meetings to discuss the
firm answer. The meeting was held
in the forenoon and CHS afternoon the
committee composed of employees Of
the several Markle mines, with the ex-
ception of Ebervale, (Which is completely
tied up) made known to the firm the
decision of the employees They accept
the FIRMS proposition in regard to
the hosting of men from the
slope, acquiesoing in the refusal to pay the
engineers by the hour and want to arb1-
trate all the other grievances, excepting
those relating to semi-monthly pay, and
the location OF powder houses, which have
been adjusted by the answer of Markle
and company.
Inc men also decided to remain at
work pending the arbitration negotia-
tions.
The firm, for the time being, refused to
discuss anything in connection with its
future actions.
With regard to the general strike situa-
ton In the Lehlgh valley it cannot be
said that many great gains were made on
either side today. The labor leaders claim
accessions to their ranks from both the
mines at Eckley and Lattimer. The daily
production of coal in the district is stead
lily decreasing.
