WILL CONTINUE WORK.

Shamokin, Penn. September %. When
the North Franklin cOIHery at TrevortOn
closed down this evening q number of
men who are not on strike, decided that
they will continue work next week and
that, meantime they would hold them-
selves aloOT from strike agitatOrs. The
latter are putting forth their best efforts
to induce the men to tie up the coIliery.
The Reading company deputies Will not
permit strikers to assemble near the col
l1ery to hold up men on their way to and
from work and solicit them to strike.
The real reason of the Trevorton men
for not having struck long ago is the fear
that the company Will close the mine for
an indefinite period The oolliery is the
only industry in the town.
Everything was quiet in this region to-
night. Strikers continue to refrain from
commenting on what they shall do in
case an increase of ten per cent is granted
with the understanding that the opera
tors will not recognize the United Mine
Workers as q union.

permit it to take place. He would give
no reason, but it is believed he took this
step to avoid disturbance.
Speaking on the general strike situa-
tion tonight Mr.. Mitchell, said;
Ih1s has been the greatest Industrial
contest between labor and capital in the
history Of America, The manner in
which the men have voluntarily re-
sponded for the strike demonstrates be-
yOnd the possibility of a doubt, that the
conditions under which they labored so
long were so unbearablo that to continue
working meant to surrender absolutely
all hope OF maintaining themselves and
families as the American citizens believe
they hOuId.
''The number of men who responded to
the strike order is fully up to anticipa-
tions.
'If the ten per cent increase mentioned
in the newspapers is correct, While far
from satisfactory, it is the greatest VIC
tory ever achieved by organized labor and
won under the most adverse circum-
stances. I, of course, have nothing to say
as TO what action will be taken as to the
acceptance or rejection of any PROPOSE
tiOn. This must be determined by the
whole body Of anthracite miners them
selves. Our organization viii not make

other organizations of assuming the pow
er to determine through It's officers the
happiness or misery, the veal or woe OF

pendent upon the anthracite coal indus

''We take the position in this contest as
we have in all others that capital is en-
titled to fair compensation on honest IN
vestment, but that no institution has
legitimate right to exist which does not
afford labor sufficient rate OF wages to
enable those depending upon it to earn q
fair living. aEa--

A Diplomatic Official Explains What

Berlin, September 2S An official OF
the foreign Office today called attention
to the statement Of a London paper that
''the view prevails IN the United States
that Germany, in Issuing her. recent note,
was trying to take the diplomatic lead
in the China question:
This assertion he emphaticaIIy denied,
declaring that, on the contrary Germany
was merely endeavoring, by means OF her
proposal, to restore harmony among the
powers.
Conditions are not ripe," he said,
s'fOr beginning peace negotiations, al
though the only obstacle is China herself
The recent acts Of the Chinese govern
ment show that it is still far from re-
speoting the viii of the powers. If it
should show change OF spirit by deliver
ing some of the guilty mandarins for
punishment, that would be the time to
talk of making peace
When the attention of the foreign office
official in question was called 60 the ex-
treme difficulty of capturing the guilty
person in such a vast, rOadless country,
even supposing that an agreement had
been reached as to who they are, he re

It Is He Who Is Engineering Settle
memt Of Strike.

Scranton, Pa, September 28.-Opera-
tors here admit that Senator Hanna IS
the central figure in the negotiations for
a settlement of the strike and, while they
profess to be at sea as to the details they
are confident that he knows beforehand
what will be acceptable to the mine IS
and that whatever conditions he has ex-
acted or is exacting from the coal men in
New York will be nothing less than what
will be fully satisfactory to-the miners
This confidence is. heightened by q gen
orally credited story that the delay in is
suinggthe strike order was to give Pres1-
dent Mitchell time to interest Senator
Hanna in the efforts affecting a settle
ment. Nothing would be given out by
the local operators as to what trans
pired at the WiIkesbarre conference today
further than thats they discussed the pro-
posed settlement Action on their part is
not called for, theysay and ii they are con
sidered in the matter at all, it will only
be out of courtesy.
stWhere New York leads we must fol-

The strikers are jubilant over the new
turn in affairs and will gladly second
any reasonable concessions by way OF

John Jernyn of Jernyn g Company,

quoted in the settlements matter. lie
said 1t was Mark Hanna who was eng1-
