LONG STRIKE PREPARATION.
Companies Have Sent About 5000
Mules to Pasture.

Mules to Pasture.
That the coal companies do not an
ticipate an early ending Of the strike is
indicated by the fact that they are
sending their mules to pasture in the
| country. The Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company has secured
pasturage at Factoryville, Wyoming
| county, and Hanover, Luzerne county
| The Erie is sending it's mules to Wayne
county, in the region of Lake Ariel
The Delaware and Hudson company is
| looking for pasturage in the neighbor-
| hood Of Carbondale. Five thousand
| mules are used by these three COM
| panies alone. Some of them were born
| in the mines, and not few of them
saw daylight for the first time when
| the strike of 1900 was on. 1t is usually
| about three days before they become
used to the light. For the first day or
SO they wander around as blind as bats.
colliding with one another and the
fences of their corrals and kicking VIC
iously at every collision. The mules, at
all events, will be benefited by the
strike.
Recorder Emil Bonn yesterday re-
corded the commissions of slxty-seven
of the 3S7 coal and iron police commits
stoned by Governor Stone, last Satur-
day. to guard coal companies property
in this and Luzerne counties. Those
whose commissions were recorded yes
terday are employed by the Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware and Hudson. Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western and
Sterrick Creek companies. The COM
missions were sent direct to the COM
panies. They will have the men sworn
In and the commissions recorded as
fast as they deem it eXpedient.
Yesterday afternoon the wholesale
grocers decided to exact cash pay
ments from the retailers during the
continuance of the strike. Last night,
the Retail Merchants association de-
cided on similar policy. This means
that while the strike is on all grocery
business in the city will be done on a
cash basis. The suburban storekeeper
it is likely will follow suit.
An effort is to be made today to stop
operations at the Delaware & Hudson
company's Grassy Island washery. The
Olyphant strikers propose to put out
pickets and endeavor to dissuade the
men from going to work.
AS yet there has been no violence re-
ported in this region. However. trouble
is expected any day as a result of at
tempts to close down the washeries.
