NEAR SHAMOKIN.

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated rrass
Shamokn, Pa. Sept. 1S.-The tle-up
of the mines in this section of the an
thracite coal region is even more COM
plete than it was yesterday. Fewer
men reported Cor work and the
breakers could not have been operated
if the companies hal so desired. 1t is
a conservative estimate to say that
there are now 1900 men out on
strike in this region. Everything was
quiet today, with the exception of
few personal squabbles and a slight
sensation at Mt. Carmel this morning
brought on by some mischievous
breaker boys.
A train arrived here at an early
hour this morning from the west and
proceeded through the regions worked
by the Mineral and Union Coal COM
panies, dropping special deputies at
every station as they passed Some
three hundred were thus quietly in
troduced before the whistles blew to
awaken the men. In this immediate
neighborhood not a wheel is revolv-
ing. Several of the operators have
ordered thier mules to be hauled out
of the mines and have discharged
even the few men who were willing to
work.
In the north of Mt. Carmel few
mines sent to the surface coal that
still remained in the gangways, but
! the breakers were for the most part
| still The Franklin mine, at Trevcr-
ton, and the Locust Gap at the place
of that name, We're the only two in
this region that have been running at
! full blast and it is reported that

closed yesterday, n number OF men reported for
work but not sufficient to start up. number OF
the remaining colheries are working short-handed.
The average daily output OF our collieres yes
terday was little over 100 cars less than usual.
This condition can be attributed to the closing
Of the Burnside colliery and the extent to which
the remaining colieries are running short
handed.
George II. Ross, secretary of the col
lieries operated by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, in a statement to
the Associated Press today, said;
The situation today in our collieres is about
the same as yesterday with the exception that
the Lykens, Luke Fidler and Cameron coleries

were inclined to doubt that Mr.. Gamer

they were informed that he was an

position. Then they began to give the
matter more attention, and it is said

NEW YORK VIEW.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Dress
New York, Sept. lS.--The represent
tatives OF the coal operators general
ly agreed today that the situation was
no worse for their side. There was no
tendency, however, to congratulate
each other on the fact that fewer min
ers had gone out than the union lead
ers expected. In fact, it is said by
several men closely in touch with the
situation that the strike Is no less
serious than has been anticipated.
William V. S. Thorne, vice presi
dent of the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany. said that corporation, though
included in the hard coal district, is
not wholly tied up. One thousand
tons of coal were mined in the two col
lieries which were in operation yes
terday and one mine is still working
today Mr.. Thorne said that eighty
per cent. of his men We're anxious and
willing to get back.
7. +. Torrey, sales agent of the Della
ware and Hudson company, today is
sued a statement to the coal trade of
this city in which, after announcing
that the strike has caused tempor-
airy suspension at the mines of the
company, he said:
50 far as our own employees are concerned We
have never had from them any expression Of dis,
satisfaction or any request for a change in the
existing conditions. We have reason TO believe
that the more conservative among them do not
sympathize with the strike and that their infue'
ence will eventually prevail and work be re-
resumed
II seems proper Tor producers and dealers in
coal to carefully distribute the coal now in
stock so the general public may not be incon'
vcnienced. We propose to make every possible
effort in this direction and hope that all Of ouI
customers will cooperate with ris
