DEVOID OF
EXCITEMENT
tConcluded from Page IL

ment Of the conditions in the lower
regions. contained in a special to The
Tribune from Hazleton, and reports
from their officers of the closing of
Markle G. Co.'s mines at Jeddo and the
Mocanaqua colliery at Shickshinny
were the causes of this. The latter re-
liable advices to the effect that the
Markle & Co. collieries were at work
as usual had a depressing effect and
tended to cause the men to place more
reliance on the reports that came from
other than what they have been wont
to consider official sources.
The three trusted men dispatched by
West Side miners to investigate the
conditions in Hazleton and Pottsvllle,
independent of the union officers, have
returned and their report is expected
to be heard today.
Eight washeries in Lackawanna
county and two just over the line in
Pittston, and two insignificant drifts
in the vicinity of Carbondale, are the
only collieries in the whole Lacka-
wanna-W Wyoming region now in opera
tion. Less than 300 men are employed
at all twelve workings, so that in this
district alone there are over $4,000 men
on strike.
All Are Not Idle.
All these, however, are not idle.
Many miners have secured work at
harvesting in the nearby rural dis
| triCtS, and others are scattered about
| making repairs and assisting in gard
| ening al private residences in the city
| and suburbs. Hundreds have gone to
the soft coal regions, and large squads
are daily leaving for the west. IL
| SCranton's census was taken now, it is
| safe to say, it would fall far short Of
| the necessary 100, 900 to make it Sec
Ond class city.
The executive board of District No
l was to have met yesterday to on
| slider the Gibbons Coal company's
proposition, but the absence of Presi-
| dent Nichols and Secretary Dempsey
| made it necessary to postpone the
meeting.
The parade committee met and ar
| ranged finally for the miner boys pro-
cession and mass meeting this after
| noon. Organizer Dilcher and Secretary
| Mcclure, of the Carpenters union, are
| expected to be the speakers. President
