ANOTHER GREAT STRIKE.
FIFTY Thousand Men Idle in the wyomln
Valley.

Fifty Thousand Men Idle in the wyoming
Valley.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 16.-The
strike Of the stationary firemen, inaugu-
rated today, has tied up nearly all the
mines In the Wyoming Valley, and a
conservative estimate places the number
of men idle at $4,000. This includes
the men out IN the Scranton district.
Only about 800 OF them are tiremen.
The balance 10 made up OF miners,
laborers, engineers, breaker boys and
machinists employed in and about the
collieries. Every mine from Pittston
TO Nanticoke ia affected.
When the whistles blew at 7 O'Clock
for work, the firemen refused to report
for duty, and orders were then issued
by the superintendent TO close down.
The striking firemen thereupon re-
turned to their respective headquarters.
where thay held meetings and discussed
the situation.
President Muilahy OF the State As
ISOLATION told The Associated Press
correspondent that up to 10 q. m. he
had received reports from the entire
Wyoming district Of the antharcite
region, and only five collieries we're
working. He estimated that so, 900 men
were idle.
The coal companies have pressed into
service their forsmen and five bosses,
who will be employed as firemen for
the time being. This is necessary In
order to keep the pumps running and
the mines free from water. At some vi
the collieries, hoisting engineers who
were asked to work with the new men
refused and quit their posts. At other
mines, the engineers remained on duty.
The Lehigh Valley 90. is operating
its Malt by colliery, hosting the usua
quote OF GOAL. This Delaware & Hudson
Co. has two mines working and the
officials say they have enough firmen tc
keep the pumps running.
Several manufacturing concerns CAV,
into the demands Of the firemen THU
morning. The Wilkesbarre Lace Co.
employing 1900 hands, was amont
those that capitulated. The Hazard
rope works, employing LOCO men, fol.
lowed shortly afterward. The Wilkes
barre Il Wyoming Valley Traction Co
officials told their firemen to 60 t,
work at the increase A number o
smaller plants also acceded to the de
mands short while after starting time
The officials OF the various coal com
panies, when interviewed, said the,
mad no plans for the future, and hat
NO idea how long the strike would last
One superintendent, however, said hi
company had plans on foot by whicl
they expected TO get enough fremen t
allow them to resume operations in
day or two.

The Robbers Escaped AFTER Standing on
Crowd for an Hour.

attempt to loot the Ressler Il Ashhrooke
Bank was made early today by gang
OF men. Nothing was secured, however,
and, after standing OIL a crowd Of citi-

the robbers escaped in stolsn buggies.
A loud explosion, about a. m.,
awakened Cashier Buxton, who has
apartments over tho bank. Other per-
sons living nearby hastened to the
seems. 1t was found that tho outer
door Of the bank had been forced open,
and that six or seven men were ut work
on the strong box inside the vault.
The outer door of the vault had been
torn to pieces with charge of
dynamite.
Several shots we're fired into the
bank, but they only served to draw a
misdirected reply from tine robbers.
Meantime, the citizens were debating
rlans to effect capture. Suddenly,
shooting right and left, the robbers
rushed from the building, ran through
eide streets, lesped into buggies. which
had been conveniently PLACED, and
made their eecape.

PAYING COUNTY TAXES.


Property Owners Object to Higher Rate,
But There Ia No Help For Il.
The county tax office is taking in q
good deal of money on account Of taxes
for the new fiscal year which began
the first OF this month. About the
same number of persons have paid as
paid up to this date year ago, but
the receipts are larger. because the tax
rate is 33la per cent higher, or so cents
on the sl00 instead OF 60.
Many of the taxables complain to the
clerks in the office concerning the high
rate but it is useless 10 complain, for
the clerks cannot mend it. The taxa
bles are unable to see what benefit
comes to them from the payment of IN
creased amounts to the county.
