ANTHRACITE COAL OPERATORS

The miners realize this and are disposed
to accept it as an evidence that the

SCRANTON, Pa, May 1o.-There IS a
strong sentiment among the miners IN
this district that President Mitchell is
opposed to- a strike, and no matter how
the operators may view IT the Mine
Workers Union can afford to refuse to
engage in the conflict which me men
say the operators are inviting.
Most OF the miners hereabouts had
a half holiday owing to the semi-month-
ly# payday. The miners congregated in
groups and on 'The Pate corners to-
night and discussed the question OF max
ing the strike order permanent. On LIE
Sunday preceding the Monday on which
the 1900 strike order took effect. the mine
bosses worked like Trojans among their
personal friends in the ranks Of the
miners, to urge them against obeying the
strike order To-day the bosses are re-
sIigiously holding aloof from their men
COURT CONFLICT.
There is absolutely no effort on the
part OF the operators. as far as are
apparent here. to discourage a strike.
