Coal company, which supplies much of
the coal for the large buildings in the
down town districts, has stopped de-
livering the commodity in large guam
titles and will only sell the amounts

each day. For the larger buildings
this varies from six to twenty-five

cries, which were started yesterday.
The companies are making no effort to
operate any of their colieries, and
there is no disorder whatever, in fact
the situation is remarkably quiet. The
work of bringing recruits into the
union ranks continues and new
branches of the United Mine Workers
are being organized every night. Two
branches were organized last night
with a total membership of 160, and
$50 names were enrolled at a branch
organized in the Leek Cornet band
rooms this evening. A meeting of the
mine employees in the Eleventh ward
of the city will be held Saturday even
ing. Friday evening the officers OF all
the local unions will meet in Clifford's s
hall, the local headquarters, for the
discussion of the situation. Advertise
ments appear in the local papers an

A meeting of all the trades unions of
this vicinity has been called for Mon

Niagara Engine company, for the pur-
pose of organizing a branch of the

REVOLVER USED
TO INTIMIDATE
Joseph Begos Made Alexander Mons
yock Promise at the Point of a
Gun That He Would Strike.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Wilkes Barre, Sept. 20.-The first ar
rest in connection with the miners
strike was made this afternoon, when
Joseph Begos, a Hungarian, of NGnt-
coke, was taken into custody, charged
on oath of Alexander Monsyock with
pointing a revolver and threatening to
shoot him last night while he was re-
turning from work.
The prosecutor is employed at COM
pany work in one of the mines at Nam
ticoke and when he started for home
last night he met Begos, who asked
him why he was working. Monsyock
did not answer and was proceeding on
his way when Begos pointed his revol-
yer. Upon promising not to report for
work in the morning Begos did not
shoot. The prisoner was brought to
this city and in default of $1,000 bail
was committed to jail.
President Mitchell telegraphed the
officers of the United Mine Workers
that he would surely be in Wilkes
Barre Saturday night to address the
men of the Wyoming Valley

The Tribune's Educational Contest
Is one more day nearer the close and
the standing of the contestants is be-
ing closely watched by many thous-
ands of readers. Yesterday David G.
Spencer, of Rloomsburg, took another
stride forward and succeeded in scor-
ing enough points to place him again
in fifth position, passing Arthur kem-
merer of FaCtoryvilc, who is now
two points behind. This is the only
change made in the standing this
morning, although several of the con-
testants increased the number of
points to their credit. Among these
might he mentioned Miss Grace Sim
rell, of Carbcndale, who is now but
one point behind tenth place. The tie
of Harry Reese, of Hyde Park, and
Miss Mary Yeager. of Moscow, remains
unbrOken.
The Tribune yesterday placed on
exhibition i'm several stores in the
central portion of the city photographs
of 81 900 in one dollar bills, represent
ing the value of the first special re-
ward i'm this Educational Contest. The
bills are i'm packages of 800 each, and
form a very pretentious pile. A re-
ward of this magnitude is well worth
a little hard work, and the one who
succeeds in making the greatest re-
turns is sure to receive it.

NO CHANGE IN SITUATION.
Condition of the Collieries of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.

Philadelphia, Sept. 20.-General Man
ager Williams, of the collieries oper-
ated by the Pennsylvania railroad, in
his daily official statement to the main
Office in this city, announced that up
until noon today there was no change
of any importance in the strike situa-
tion. The Nanticoke and Glen Lyon
colieries are still idle the Cameron
mine at Shamokin, which closed on
Tuesday, along with the Luke Fid-
Ter operation, was working the same
as yesterday, with the combined loyal
force of the two CollierieS mentioned.
The Lykens mine remains idle. and
the Williamstown colliery, which the
Lykens strikers had threatened to
march against is working with a full
force. The William Penn collery, in
the Schuylllill region. he also reported
as working with all Its men on hand.
Mr.. Williams also made report as
to the Lytle Coal company and the
Union Coal company, neither of which
are in any way connected with the
Pennsylvania railroad. The Lytle COL
liery, he said, is in full operation. The
Hickory Ridge colliery of the Union
company, he reported as working
short-handed. The Pennsylvania col
liery of the same company, he said,
was idle as a result of the strikers
intimidating the men so that they
were afraid to leave their homes in
Mt. Carmel. Several of the men, he
added, We're attacked by strikers and
severely beaten.

shipped to the Schuylkill county cor
raj. on Monday the mules will be
hoisted from the Cameron mine, after

thing is quiet and orderly.
Reading, Pa, Sept. 2O.-Philadelphia
ana Reading Coal and Iron company
officials claim today that they took
as much coal out of the mines as if
all their collieries were working full

times in the mines. Orders have been
issued to the men in the train service
that there must be no delay in hurry
ing trains to tidewater. The officials
claim that their inducements to their
men not to strike have had an excel
lent effect

SITUATION

Archbishop Ryan, with a view to ar
rivng at some method that will bring
the opposing forces together. Arch
bishop Ryan, who has expressed him
self as willing to aid in any way to
effect a settlement of the difficulties,
received the priest at the Episcopal
residence and together they went over
the entire situation, denying them
selves to all callers. Before the con-
ference Father Phillips was interview
ed as to the general situation. He
said:
The strikers have the situation well in hand
and are going right along with the strike. The
strikers have gained much greater proportions
than was at first expected. The Wyoming and
Lackawanna coal fields are completely in the
hands Of the strikers and from the hcadway they
have been making would not he surprised If by
the end Of the week they had control Of the
Lchigh district. The trouble has become much
NOR formidable and it is hard to tell what can
be done in the matter of arbitration.
