DYNAMITE AT HAzLHT0N.
Attempt Made TO Destroy the Home
of Michael ZuIick.

Hazlston, Pa, Oct. 3.-There is no ma
terial change in the strike situation here
abouts. The collie1es which have been
working since the inauguration Of the
strike are still in operation. The mine
workers have completely ignored the no.
ticss of the Lehigh Valley and the Leh gh
and Wilkesbarre Coal companies to the
effect that an increase OF 10 per cent had
been granted in wages and that the price
of powder would be reduced, and so far
as can be learned about the same number
of men are idle.
An attempt was made to blow UP with
dynamite the house occupied by Michael
Zulick, mine worker, in the eastern
part of the city, but no extensive damage
was caused. Zulick has been working
since the strike went into effect. No
other case of violence has been reported.
As yet there has been no move on the
part Of the individual operators who are
still holding out against the pig coal
mining and coal carrying companies to
post notices of an advance in wages to
the men in this region. One of the min
ing superintendents, speaking for an in
dividual operator controlling several col
leries in this district, said that he did not
think that any notices of an increase
would be posted at his mines, no matter
what the big companies do, unless the
railroads made some concessions az to
tonnage rates.
Two marches took place, one from
Milnesviile. near here, and the other from
Crystal Ridge. The Milnesville march
ers. loO strong, went to Lsttimer, but
NOT being allowed on the company prop
erty they could not reach the worknen
there, and nobody stopped work. Cran-
berry was the objective point of the
crystal Ridge marehers. They numbered
only 70 men and did not succeed in ac-
complaining anything In the way Of In
uueisg men TO refrain from going into
the Pardee mine at that place.
President Mitchell and the ofic;.Is :,
the United Mine Workers orsaniyat;on
who went to Wilkesbarre to particinsts
in the labor demonstration have returned
TO headquarters here. The action OF ~.
local union at Shenandoah in slectiuv dol.
sgntes to the joint convention which the
strike leaders say will be called before
the strike can be terminated was NOT
dictated by the officials at headuua rters
they say. President Mitchell sai0 that
the local did 1t probably through a mis-.
understanding or for the purpose of be-
ing prepared IN case convention is sud.
denly called. The basis of represent.
tion In the convention, Mr.. Mitchell said
has not yet been considered, but il would
be fully set forth in the call for the con.
vention.
w. b. Farley of Alabama, Georr,
Purcell. Indiana; Fred Dilcher, Ohio
and Benjamin James, Pepnsylvania
members Of the national executive hoard
held a private conference. The question,
which were under discussion have mo-
yet been made known, but it is believe,
they relate to relief measures. Contrar,
to the general impression, the strikin,
mine workers will not be given cash i,
the way Of relief, but will be proyidet
BY the union with provisions and cloth
ing for every member of each famil,
needing assistance.
It is believed the plan to be adopt.,
viii provide for the esta blishmens of sup
ply depots In each mining town, in chars
Of the local union officials, where th
needy men can be provided for upon sp
pscstion. The, Unissd Milne Worker
will pay for the supplies. An oniclai o
the union said that the hitr.ninous mt,
