on-Nerchants oppose a strike.

SCRANTON, Pa. Sept. "a mass meeting
OF all the United Mine Workers OF the Lacka-
wanna and Wyoming regions was held on a
common on Washburn street, near the central
airshaCt, this afternoon. Representatives
Of nearly all the towns, up and down the valley,

2eus vitality Interested in the question Of @
strike were present TO aid by their voice and
counsel q pacific policy that would make a
strike impossible. The miners maniieStod con
siderable enthusiasm during tle speeches
aud showed how much they have been stirred

and the operators.

Nicholas I, Burke. "A local lender, presided
and speeches were made by several prominent
mine workers. All were quite conservative
in tone. but displayed much bitterness TOWARD
the operators. At the end John Dempsey,
secretary of the local branch of the Mine Work
ers, read the statement given out by President
announced that the question Of declaring q
strike had been postponed for a few days pend
lug negotiations.
The miners about Scranton in the main view
the PROSPECTS, OF u strike with great uneaSiness,
There l. no question, however, that many OF
them will comply with the order TO strike. This

great danger here Is the fact that owing TO re-
cent strikes several OF the mines are either be-
ing operated by nOn-unlon men or by men who,
having recently been ON strike. will refuse TO
GO out again. Conflicts at these c~ollieries with
the other strikers are feared, and ali the moro
SO because these mines are in districts where
the preservation Of law and order Is more DIM
