THE SITUATION
AT SHENANDOAH
Local and District Organizers on the
Alert to Keep Men from Work.
ing-strikers Ugly.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Shenandoah, Oct. 3.-The only i'm
portant development in the strike situ-
alton today was the posting of notices
by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company at all Of it's collieries
and in conspicuous places in ,the towns
and mining patches announcing a
net increase of 10 per cent. in wages
and a willingness to hear the griev-
ances Of it's employees.
The local and district organizers were
on the alert, and in less than five min
been placarded, warning to the mine
workers was circulated. In this town
and vicinity Organizer c. S. Potter
distributed circulars printed in the
English, Polish and Lithuanian Ian
guages, calling on the strikers to pay
no attention to the company's offer,
but to wait for the decision of the Mine
Workers convention. The impression
here tonight is that none of the strik-
ers will attempt to return to work un-
til so ordered by President Mitchell.
There are no indications of trouble
in the Panther Creek valley. General
Goblin has been informed that a big
meeting of mine workers will be held
at Lansford tomorrow night. A large
number Of Hazleton strikers are ex-
pected to attend. General Goblin says
he will be ready If troops are needed.
The Eighth regiment is tonight maxi
ing preparations to break camp. Cen
eral Goblin late today ordered the regi-
ment to start for home tomorrow. Com
pany I, of the Twelfth regiment, left
today. Major Farquhar, provost mar
shall, has ordered the guard to diligent-
ly patrol the eastern sections of the
borough, near Indian Ridge colliery.
He says the strikers there are showing
an ugly disposition.

Wilkes Barre, Oct. 3.-Neither the
operators nor striking miners expect
any change in the Wyoming valley
until the United Mine Workers take
official action on the ten per cent. in
crease in wages offered by the big coal
companies. The talk about the indi-
vidual operator objecting to the offer
made to the men by the companies Is
not taken seriously by the trade here.
The representatives of the Delaware
and Hudson, Lackawanna, Lehigh VAL
ley, and Lehigh and Wilkes Barre
companies say IL the strikers consent
to go back to work at the terms Of
fered, the individual operators will not
stand in the way. In fact, 1t would do
them no good to stand in the way.
They would have to pay the miners
the same wages as the big companies.
or allow their mines to remain in idle
ness. This they are not willing to do,
as was judged from the actions of
certain operators the past week. They
have been grumbling great deal he
cause the big companies do not do
something and get the men back to
work. And If the representatives of
the big companies are to be believed,
the individual operator is not the op-
pressed man he would have the public
believe he Is. He gets his share of the
sales, and In many cases his operating
expenses are a great deal less than
those of the big companies.
The question of manning the mines.
should work be resumed at an early
date, Is now becoming serious. Before
the strike was begun experienced
miners were scarce. and for the want
of competent men many breasts" in
the mines which the operators wanted
worked had to remain idle. Since the
strike began hundreds of the best
miners have left the country for Wales.
The places Of these men cannot be
filled at once.
