effect that large numbers of those who
went to the mines today will join IN

fident that the entire number of men
employed in and about the coal mines
CT the anthracite district will be idle
in the next few days. The men appear
determined to continue on strike until
their demands for justice have been
acceded to. The number of men now
on strike exceeds that of any other in

Situation in the Districts.
The great struggle between the an
tracite coal miners Of Pennsylvania
and their employers was begun yes
terday Each side is confident OF Win
ming, and neither Of the cOntending
forces show any disposition to yield.
The district south Of this place, known
as the south side" was tied up COM
pletely with the exception of Coleraine,
Beaver Meadow and Carson's wash
cries. In this territory the United
Mine Workers are very strong. On
the north side," the Upper Lehigh,
Milnesville, Ebervale and Drifton No.
/ cOllierieS, employing about 1,5OO men,
are shut down: the mines at Lattimer
and Pond Creek, employing 1,2OO men,
are working full, but every other mine
in that big territory is working with
badly crippled forces. Three of the
Markle mines, over which there has
been so much contention, worked all
day with about 65 per cent. of their
men. On the "west side'' every col
liery started up minus it's union men
except at the Halle mines, where the
union miners went to work in cOnse-
Quence of a misunderstanding
Mitchell Rules OH "a Point.
Mitchell yesterday decided an i'm
portant point in the matter of arbitra-
ton. Last week the miners employed
by G. =. Markle & Co. decided not to
strike until the firm had passed upon
set of their own grievances, which
differed somewhat from those of the
United Mine Workers. The firm has
an agreement with it's men that if any
differences fail of adjustment then the
grievances shall be arbitrated. John
Markle, of the firm, Sunday agreed to
have Archbishop Ryan. of Philadel-
phia, arbitrate the differences if the
mediators already decided upon by the
firm and the men cannot come to sat
isfactory agreement. Markle gave out
an interview to newspaper reporters
to this effect and suggested to the re-
porters that they go see what President
Mitchell would have to say to the prop
OSitiOn.

WHAT MITCHELL SAID ABOUT 1T.
VIII DO All He Can to Bring Markets
Men Out of the Mines.

Men Out of the Mines.
When Mitchell was asked about the
matter he said: II wish to say that
we intend to ask the men employed by
Mr.. Markle to cease work. We intend
to use all lawful means to induce them
to join the strike This strike is prob
ably different from any other strike in
the anthracite region before. If the
miners employed by one big company
in the anthracite fail they all fail.
They may prove successful in some
companies for a brief time, but the
rate of wages in the entire anthracite
region will get to a certain level. Ii
we succeed at one place and fail at
another the low wages must be brought
up to meet the high or the higher must
come down to meet the low; so that |
will not now, and do not propose to,
officially accept or reject for our Or
ganiZation any proposition for set
Element that is not made either by the
company or by some other person to
whom they will give authority to act
as their representative"
Father Phillips, who suggested the
idea of having Archbishop Ryan
brought in as arbitrator on behalf of
the men, would not talk on the decision
of President Mitchell, but in speaking
on the subject of an early settlement
of the strike he still hoped that arbi-
tration would be accepted.
