LAID DOWN THE PICK
Never in History Of the Hard Coal

Being Idle,

Philadelphia. May 12.-Mtne workers
throughout the entire anthracite coal re-
gions of Pennsylvania, to the number OF
10000. formally began their struggle to-
day for increased wages and shorter
hours. Never In the history Of hard coal
mining. has tie-up been SO complete, not
one Of the $50 collieries in the territory
being in operation.
There is every indication for the belief
that the suspension which was to cover
only the first three days of this week,
will be made permanent by the miners
general convention. which will meet At
Hazieton Wednesday.
Absolute quiet prevailed everywhere to.
day. All the local unions throughout the
region met during the day and evening
and eletced delegates to the Haxleton
convention. 1t Is significant that In every
instance where the vote of local be-
came public property. tho ballot showed
a decided majority for the permanent
strike unless the operators grant conces-
sions. Predictions are made that IL 1t is
strike. the struggle will be longer and
more bitter than was that of 1900. which
lasted six weeks.
The coal companies in various parts OF
the region have already made prepara-
tons for a siege. Coal train crews, tele-
graph operators. switchmen, carpenters,
machinists and other employees. number
ing several thousand, not identified with
the mine workers union, have been laid
Off until further notice. Some Of the
companies have also brought their mules
