COAL FIREMEN GO OUT.
MANY MINES CRIPPLED-DURATION OF
STRIKE DEPENDS on MINERS.

wikesbarre. Penn, July 16 (SpeciaD.-The
stationary fremen in the Wyoming Valley
obeyed the strike order this morning and went
cut Some of the largest manufacturing plants
In this city conceded the demands of their fire
men, and they continued at work. The mines
were the heaviest sufferers. The firemen failing
to report for work caused many Of the big col
lieries to suspend operations for the day. 1t is
estimated that twenty thousand miners and
breaker boys are idle by reason of the strike
Some of the coal operators secured enough COM
pany hands to go into the boiler rooms and keep
up steam for the running of the pumps and fans.
The Delaware and Hudson. the Lehigh Valley.
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre and the Lackawan-
Ia companies were badly crippled. Some OF the
individual operators conceded the demands or
their fremen condition that the short hour
was not to hold good unless the big companies
acceded to the demands of their employees. Presi-
dent Mullahy said tonight that the outlook for
the strikers winning very good. He was
much pleased with the action of the hoisting
engineers. who thus far have stood by the fire
men and refused to take their places in the
boiler rooms when asked.
1t is known, however, that several engineers
did take the places of the strikers. 1t is also
said that there is break in the ranks at Nanti-
coke The United Mine Workers there are not
altogether satisfied with the strike. They claim
that when they went out on strike last fail the
iremen remained at work, although requested
to quit 1t is rumored that some of the miners
Nanticoke will take the places of the strikers
tomorrow. The operators say they do not pro-
pose 10 surrender to the strikers, as their de-
mands are out of all reason. Many of the COM
panieS have contracted with lot of Hungarfans
and Italians to take the places of the strikers.
The duration of the strike will depend on the
strikers If they refuse to so TO work pending
the settlement of the strike, ii may bring the
companies TO terms. But if the miners return
to work when men take the places of the
strikers, then the firemen are beaten.

his rudirnentary education. He took up alone

Stone began by shooting Il little
sarcasm at his rival, who, he al

for the senatorial nomination.

Mr.. Stone, has practically stated
that he is IA candidate. He has

that the Missourians di dn't ow
him anything, that he has been
generously paid in advance for all
that he had done or ever could do,
and that it would take Il lifeti me

Mr.. Clark came next, and the
