SIXTH WEEK OF MINE STRIKE.
Effort to Bring Out Fire Bosses Not
Complete Success.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 1.-THE
sixth week of the anthracite coal
miners strike began yesterday without
a ripple to disturb the calmness of the
situation. Rain fell nearly all day,
which helped to keep the more than
100000 idle men and boys indoors.
Several reports of assault on working
men and Coal and Iron policemen
were received here from different sec
tions of the region. but no one was
seriously injured. 1t was expected
that Monday would witness the re-
fusal of large number of fire bosses
and other mine bosses to go to work,
but the best information obtainable
shows that the number of men who
quit was not large. However, Presi-
dent Mitchell and other labor leaders
claim that nearly half of the men VINO
were at work on Saturday refused to
go into the collieries Monday.
Casper Clark of Toledo, president of
the International Team Drivers asso-
citation, came in for some attention
by labor leaders. He submitted to an
interview in which he said his organi-
zation would do all it could to help
the striking miners.

1t was the only thing that could be
done.
"a fair estimate of the number Of
natives killed by the men of my COM
mand would be 400 to 500. These
were all killed in battle with the ex-
ception of eleven carriers, ins,irrectos
at heart, who were tried by court
martial and shot. There was only
one woman shot and she was only
slightly wounded. She happened to
be in the breastworks of fort my
