Lykens and WicOnisco are on strike
and threaten to compel the Williams
town men to quit work. A meeting of
the WilliamstoWn men was held to-
night at which it was decided to stand
firm against any attempt on the part
Of the strikers to force them to Join
the strike.
Sheriff Reiff today sWore in $50 depu-
ties who will act in conjunction with
a double force Of Watchmen on duty at
WilliamstoWn colliery.
\ meeting of the strikers was also
held tonight at Lylzens, at which it
was resolved to stand firm for the de-
n1ands made by the miners union, and
use every honorable effort to induce
the WiliamstoWn men to Join them.
Organizer Miles Daugherty, Of Shamo-
kin is working among the miners in
that region and District President
Fahey is expected on the ground to-
morrow to help him.
Rev. Father Logue, rector of the
Catholic church at WilliamstoWn, is
working among the mine employees
there to induce them to stay at work
Some of the strikers at Lykens and
WiconiscO threatened to drive out the
men at WilliamstOWn before Saturday
and serious trouble may be expected
at any time. There has been bad blood
between the Lykens and Wiconisco
miners and the men at Williamst0Wn
ever since the refusal Of the former, in
1886 to join the latter in their strike
against a reduction in wages.

ter however won over the gathering.
He told them the company stood ready
to arbitrate any differences with the
men and proposed that the company
select one arbitrator and the men choose
one. If the two fail to agree these
two men could invite a third man to
join them in considering the matters
before them. He said the company has
such an agreement of long standing
with the men and that he would live
up to it and expected the men to do the
same. He also said that he would abide
by the decision Of the arbitrators no
matter what the award might be. Mr.
Markle concluded his address by pay
ing his respects to the United Mine
Workers officials calling them agita-
tors and charging them with being re-
sponsibe for ali the turmoil in the re-
sion. Mr.. Mitchell then got on the
steps and standing beside Mr. Markle
told the crowd that the United Mine
Workers would not accept arbitration
on that basis. It would be the whole
region and not part Of it.
Mr. NarI>Ie Again Addressed
the men and reiterated what he said
last Sunday that he would accept arch
bishop Ryan Of Philadelphia as an ar
bitratOr to which Mr.. Mitchell replied
that he would accept thk archbishop
on the basis that the United Mine
Workers proposed arbitration for the
whole region at one and the same time.
Rev. Father Phillips was called upon
and advocated arbitration. President
Mitchell and Mr.. Markle again spoke
and Benjamin James asO addressed the
men but their remarks were largely of
q personal nature. The meeting lasted
two hours, breaking up at twilight.
The strike leaders claim that as re-
suit of the meeting the Markle mines
viii be closed tomorrow while the firm
claim that the meeting was a peacked
one and that their mines will operate
tomorrow as usual. 1t remains to be
seen which side is right.
The McAdOO marchers to the number
Of 250 marched to COleraine this after
noon where they gathered quite

IN LAcKAWtNNt DISTRICT.
Not One Pound OF Coal Is Being
Mined There.

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 1S.-Condi-
tons in the Lackawanna district today
were practically the same as yesterday
in the miners strike. Not a pound of
coal is being mined and the number
Of culm Washeries at work remains un-
changed.
The Columbus washery which sup
plies fuel for the electric light, city
steam and trolley plants and which
shut down yesterday, resumed today
by permission of the strike leaders
who do not desire to cripple the public
utilities, but the strikers evened I'D
things by inducing the 20 men at the
adjacent Carbon Coal company's
Washerv tC turn out.
This washery was bent on working
night and day. Late last night the
men were stoned from a hill overlook
ing the culnl piles and driven to seek
shelter in the engine room. but when
the assailants dispersed operations were
resumed. At O'Clock this morning a
crowd Of more than 100 men and
women assembled near the Washery
and by jeers and threats induced the
whole force to quit work and go home.
The strikers persuaded a Delaware,
LackaWanna & Western crew to go
back to the yard without the train load
Of coal which they were sent to take
out Of the switch Of the Diamond
Washery, one Of the three Delaware
LackaWanna e Western places which
are keeping at work. Later the en-
gine and crew returned carrying a
squad of detectives and a case Of rifles
The strikers had gone away in the in
ternl, and the coal train was taken out
without incident.
Benjamin Davis, a superintendent CT
the Clark tunnel in the northern end
OF pointing firearms, preferred by a
striker named Frank Payne 1t is al
legged Davis invaded the public high
way with gun, halted Payne who
was peacefully coming from his home
to town, and threatened to shoot him
ii he did not turn back. Later the
case was settled.
The operators say they are not MAX
ing any particular effort to work any
OF their mines. and have no immediate
intention of importing men to take the
strikers places.
Binghamton and Syracuse customers
or the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western company are, it is stated, can
ceiling their contracts and entering
into long term contracts with soft coal

CLASH WAS AVERTED.

Strikers Abandoned Attempts To
Make Miners Quit work.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 19-The
expected clash between the union and
non-union miners in the Lykens Val
ley region was averted by the strikers
at Lykens abandoning their proposed
march to Williamstown tonight to at
tempt to force the miners there to Quit
work. The feeling beween the Lykens
and WilliamstOWn miners is so bitter
that the strike leaders were induced
this afternoon by the borough authori-
ties Of Lykens to persuade their fol-
lowers not to invade the territory Of
the non strikers. Several hundred
strikers We're to have started for Will
Jamestown at 6 o'clock with two bands
of music and they We're much cha-
grined when the proposed march was
called off. small delegation Of strik
ers went there this evening and held a
meeting in the public square at which
speeches were made by three strike
leaders,. There was no disorder and
this has encouraged the authorities Of
the neighboring borough to believe that
the danger Of trouble between the
strikers and non strikers is over.
The mules have been removed from
the Lykens mine and the colliery will
be suspended Indefinitely if the men
are not at work next Monday morning.
About fifty bumpers, engineers and
firemen are at work and they will not
join the strike unless called out by the
miners union Twelve hundred men
are working at the WilliamstoWn col
liery and about fifteen hundred at
Tower City. The Lykens and Will
Jamestown collieries are controlled by
the Pennsylvania company and the
Tower City colliery by the Philadel-
phia & Reading company. This is the
first time in 25 years that there has
been strike at Lykens. The Will
Jamestown miners have not been on
strike since 1856.

HAZELTON, Pa, Sept. 1S.-Follow-
ing is the statement issued by Presi-
dent Mitchell on behalf Of the strik-
ing mine workers:
HAZELTON, Pa, Sept. is, $40 p. NJ,
No. 8. Reports received at our office
from districts Nos. /, 7 and of the
anthracite coal region show that there
have been great accessions to the ranks
of the strikers today. In district No. Z
(Hazelton region) not less than l,5OO
mine workers who mined yesterday
failed to report for work this morning
thus increasing the total number on
strike from 10000 to 1880 today. F.
In district No. 8 (SchuylkilD our
forces have been augmented by 4,50O
mine workers in addition to the 10000
| reported yesterday.
The situation in district No. l Lacka-
'wanna-Wyommg) is practically the
same as the first day Of the strike only
| 200 men are remaining at work. Total
number of men idle 11S,0o0.
From every section of the anthracite
region reports indicate that much dis
satisfaction prevails among those who
have up to this time failed to partici-
pate in the strike and we confidently
expect that the number at work vii
/ grow thus With each succeeding day
grow less With each succeeding day
/ closed.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 1S.-Grand
Chief P. NJ. Arthur Of the brotherhood
of locomotive engineers said today he
did not think it likely that the
engineers eWould refuse to haul
anthracite coal mined by non-union
miners. ''The strike, if it continues,
will undoubtedly soon result in many
railroad men being thrown out Of en-
ployment,, sair ~ Arthur '"Thij
will, of course, lead to dissatisfactio
and unrest among them. Under such
changes the engineers might become in

possible. Grand Master Morrissey Of

he knew no official action had been

Sti1i Far Apart.
HAZELTON, Pa, Sept 18.-The
second day Of the anthracite coal
strike has failed to bring forth any,
thing that would lead to- the coming
striking mine workers. Neither side
has approached the other and as far
as could be learned tonight there is
no such move contemplated by either
the operators or their employers. I'm
less there is a break in the ranks Of
either it seems tonight that a third
party will have to step into the breach
and try to bring the two forces to-
gether Who that third party will be
and what methods will be pursued Will,
that end in view no one in touch with
the situation can at this time say.
Six Thousand More Strikers
President Mitchell IN his statement
today on the situation throughout the
anthrac cite region estimates that about
5000 additional mine workers laid down
their tools today, making a total Of
11S,0C0 mine workers idle.
Not one operator was reported to
have increased his working force over
that Of yesterday. President Mitchell
in his statement made today which was
based on reports received from his men
in the field makes the claim OF not
less than 1850 men who had entered
the mines yesterday failed to report
this morning. Although the majority
of the operators and mine superin-
tendents give no figures they insist
they are holding their own.
All Quiet IN sEazeltnn
today. with the exception of a few
petty cases Of breach of the peace. A
crowd of mine workers, numbering
about one hundred, marched from
but caused no trouble. At Jeansville
Is men at work fled upon their ap-
pearance. ...e.
District No. Z which includes all the
Hazelton region held a secret confer
ence today to devise ways and means
of furnishing the interests Of the
strikers. A central committee compOs-
ed Of two delegates from each Of the
local unions in tbs district was ap-
pointed to gather information for the
use of President Mitchell. Mine work
ers in large numbers came to Hazel
ton today to hear the latest news.
Tonight meetings We're held at Stock

SHAMOKIN, Sept. 19.-The most i'm
portant development of the coal miners
strike which occurred since it's incep-
ton is the effort made today by COM
mittee of miners employed at the Ma
talie cOlliery, Mount Carmel, who are
in close touch with the operators who
control that mine-all New York capt.
talists-to secure a settlement. They
came here this afternoon to consult
with several leading mine officials.
They said that the operators are Will
ing to adjust the principal grievances
embodied in the demands of the Hazle-
ton convention and they are anxious
to get their proposition to National
President Mitchell. It is believed that
if they can effect their object other
operators will follow in the same line

ALTOONA, Pa, sept. 1S--The
anthracite coal operators need expect
no aid from the bituninous operators
in their struggle against the miners.
At a recent meeting the operators Of
this district decided not to meddle in
the troubles Of the eastern district.
They are having all the orders they can
fill at present and some are behind
because of a lack of cars during the
summer. The strike will divert the cars
to the bituminous field and the oper-
ators are looking for the best business
in their history this fall. All the
miners are at work and there is no
talk of a sympathetic strike.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-The effect Of

raised the price today for all grades of
hard coal from S6.25 to S. This is only
the beginning Of what is expected if
the strike continues as the Wholesale

KANSAS GOLD FIND.
1t Has Not Brought "a Great Influx
of Gold PrOspectors.

OF Gold PrOSpectOrS,
GALENA, Kan, April 16.-The alleged
discovery of gold-bearing ore in this vi
cinity has not provoked the wild en-
thusiasm that usually attends such finds.
There is plenty of excitement and in
terest manifested, but there is not rush
of prospectors. This is to some extent
due, however. to the fact that the pros
pectors have kept the location of the re-
ported find secret.
Expert miners and assayers agree that
the formation in Kansas is not favorable
to the carrying of gold in sufficient guam
tity to make mining profitable, but the
knowing ones recall Cripple Greek, where
experts contended that it was impossible
for gold to exist in that formation.
H. r. McCielland, of Denver, who. with
Harold McDougall, also of that city, has
leased 500 acres of land in the vicinity of
the alleged 11nd and who claimed that as
says of the Kansas ore showed $41. go gold
to the ton, are now in Denver, said to be
