BOYS May CLOSE DOWN MINES:
HIGH RATES ANGER BRYANITES
Many COllereS in Scranton District May Have to SuS-
pend indianapolis May Lose Bryan NOtii-
cation Because Of RaiIrOadFarVS

Scranton, Pa. July 27.-As yet the
miners and laborers have not quit
work at the four North Scranton col
lieries of the Delaware and Hudson
company, but it will be impossible for
them to continue more than another
day, or at the most two days. as they
will refuse to turn in and do the work
of the striking runners and drivers.
The company expects to handle the
cars with their general utility men,
but these it is thought will not con-
sent to become "scabs" by taking the
strikers places.
The grown up men who comprise the
miners and laborers advised against
the strike, but now that the boys have
gone out they propose to stand by
them. BY continuing TO cut and load
coal as long as cars are supplied to
them they escape being listed as
strikers, and at the same time succeed
in accomplishing the shutting down of
the mines, for it is as good as certain
that the general utility men, common
" called company hands. viii take the
same course as the miners and la
borers.
General Superintendent Rose insists
that the demands will not be granted,
The boys, he says, are receiving rs
good wages as are paid for the same
class of work by competing COM
panies. and his company cannot af-
ford 20 pay more than its competitors
The increased demand averages ten
cents a day.

in PittSburg
DISCOVERY WAS ACCIDENTAL
Earth Gave Way and PreeiPiiated Peni.
tCntiary Official Into Under
ground Road to Freedom

Pittsburg, July 27.-The Western
penitentiary authorities discovered
through accident yesterday a plot TO
release prisoners confined in the West
ern penitentiary in Allegheny by tun-
neling into the institution. The tunnel
extended from two story house across
Sterling street. a distance of over 200
feet, $50 feet being inside the prison
wall. The discovery was made by the
earth giving way and nrecipitating a
penitentiary officer into the tunnel
The authorities express the opinion
that the intention of the tunnelers was
the release OF j. c. Boyd, imprisoned
on the charge of real estate swindling.
Boyd, it is alleged. is wanted in every
state of the union. lie is serving a
seven years sentence In the penitenti-
ary, and is reputed TO be wealthy.
The first theory advanced when the
matter was discovered seemed to point
to the release Of Alexander Bergman.
the anarchist. who is serving a 22
years sentence for the shooting of H.
c. Frick, the steel magnate during the
big HOMESTEAD strike in 1892. but
Bergman's friends could not afford the
expensive outfit which was used In
this instance and their resources could
not possibly equal those Of Bsyd's con
federates.
The elaborate arrangements that had
been made for completing the tunnel
and for providing for safety of the
diggers is source OF amazement &C
the authorities. An electric bell. con.
nected with the entrance of the tun-
mel in the cellar, was used in givinl
the workers and watchers an instan
signal in case of alarm and an ali
pump had boon used TO keep the tunne
free from gas. IL is estimated that IN,
electric plant and other apparatus
used cost the liberators at least 50. 600
