[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE ]

Wilkesbarre, Penn July 1.-THE striking
firemen made big stride toward winning this
afternoon when they induced the coal hoisting
engineers to practically join them in their strike

way passed resolutions agreeing to refuse to
work at any colliery where the f1remen are on
strike. A big joint meeting of the two classes
of workmen will be held here tomorrow morn

agreed that they would not return to work un-
less the engineers were also taken back, so to
all intents and purposes the two bodies are
striking together. This will prevent the COM

save their mines from being flooded. and fire
men at went to work to clear them of
the water which had gathered. The Delaware and
Hudson Company is in desperate straits. Most
of the mines are filling with water. and at some
the pumps have not been working since mid
night They have been unable to get men to
keep up the fires. At other mines the conditions
nearly bad, and all the companies are
having trouble. 1t is expected that in the next
few days several will give in.
Some of the big companies, however, to-day
began taking the mules out of the mines, as If
preparing for a long strike, but the strikers
consider this a bluff, and say the mules would
be drowned if left in there very long None OF
the companies made any attempt to work, ana
it is believed the mine workers would refuse 10
go back with non-union men In the boiler room
There has been no official expression OF opinion
on this score however. The officials caution
the men to remain neutral. and they will say
nothing.

MANY MINERS IDLE.
ENOUGH COAL ON HAND TO PREVENT LOSS
TO oPERAToRs-MINEs MAY BE
HARMED.
InY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuSE.1


Scranton, Penn. July 1.-THE close of the sec
ond day of the fremen's strike finds thirty-four
coIlieries closed down and over thirty thousand
men in this district idle. Six mines of the Lack
awanna company. four of the Ontario and West
ern, two of the Temple Iron Company and two
more of the Delaware and Hudson are involved.
The coal operators have large quantities of coal
on hand, and the shutting down of the mines by
the firemens strike means loss TO them. In
the summer the demand for coal is slight and
the working days have been greatly reduced at
all the mines. Several of the Lackawanna COM
pany's collieries have been shut down by the
company for repairs. The real danger is the
flooding of the mines with water and the accu-
mutation of mine gases in the chambers. Unless
the pumps and fans kept going this cannot
be avoided. Where the miners have been forced
to leave the workings. the pumps and fans have
stopped. preventing their working If the water
is allowed 10 make much headway in the under
ground chambers II will take months TO remove
It, entailing loss In property 10 the operators
and wages to the miners.
