CAUSE GENERAL STRIKE
Reports From All Parts Of the Anthracite

QuIet--Matter Of Calling Out the BIZ
luminous Miners viii Not Be Acted
Upon at the Present Meeting.
Icy ASSOCIATED pREss.I

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 2I.--The three
executive committees Of the United Mine
Workers of America, today began their
first formal session since the great coal
strike was naugurated.
The most important matter for consid-
Grafton is the proposition to call out the
engineers, fremen and pumpmen.
1t seems likely that the prescIycrs of
the mines will not be called out for the
present
A committee will consider the matter
of calling out the bituminous miners, but
in the absence of the petition from two
other districts necessary to make up the
five that are required to call special ses-
sion, it is believed no action will be
taken.
There is rumor current that the rail-
readers at a meeting here decided to re-
fuse to handle bitumnous coal destined
for the anthracite market, and If neces-
sary, to cause general strike.
President Mitchell said this morning
that he knew nothing about such meet
ing.
Reports received from all parts of the
coal field show that everything is quiet.

Castries, St. Lucia, May ai.--Reports
received here today confirm the dispatches
announcing that panic prevailed at Fort
de France, Martinique, yesterday.
The town was covered with ashes,
stones were falling and tidal wave added
to the terror of the population, which was
fleeing to the hills.
Three hundred refugees have just ar
rived here and thousands have gone to the
neighboring islands.
Governor L'Hucrre of the island of
Martinique, in a cable dispatch from Fort

saying that at Sis o'clock yesterday
morning the same eruption occurred as
on the morning of May 8--a rain of
stones, flashes of light and soupds of ex-
plosions in the direction of Mount Pelee.
The population OF Fort de France was
pancstricken and later dispatches under
yesterdays date say that fire was falling az
lie Carbet and that the inhabitants and
troops had evacuated the place. No fur
ther fatalities had occurred.
Worst Not Over.
The dispatches received in Paris also
refer to the departure of Governor
L'Huerre, accompanied by Senator
knight, president of the legislature OF
Martinique yesterday morning on the
French cruiser Suchet to reconnoitre in
the direction Of the volcano.
The officials of the ministry of the colo
nes were much disturbed by this morn
ings dispatches from Fort de France.
They thought the worst was over, but
the cable messages seem to indicate that
another disaster is impending.
No confirmation had been received here
of the dispatches reported that Fort dc
France is being evacuated.

Fort de France, May 2I.-Ycsterday's
eruption from Mount Pelec was violent
in the extreme. Colossal columns of vol
canlc matter were elected from the vol
cano, which raincd huge, red hot boul,
ders, many feet in diameter, on the ruins
Of st. Pierre and the country near il,
from an enormous elevation and with
fearful velocity. The volcanic clouds ad-
yanced until they reached Fort dc France.
The spectacle was appalling and beyond
description. The whole population of
Fort de France was thrown into a frenzy
of panic, during which police, men and
women all terrified, frantic, weeping and
praying, rushed through the streets while
overhead the glowing, fiery clouds rolled
relentlessly and rained down stones, still
hot, amidst the swirling ashes.
The steam launch and cruiser Cincin-
natl took some refugees to the French
cruiser Suchet and nearly hundred per-
sons sought refuge on the Cincinnati and
on the Potomac.
At 10 o'clock the Potomac went to in
vcstigatc matters, and all reports agree
that Lieutenant Benjamin B. Mccormick,
the commander of the steamer did great
work. He went in close to St. Pierre
and found that city had been bombarded
and the ruins left standing after the
first great disaster had been nearly razed
Millions of tons Of ashes covered the
ruined city.
Further south, smaller stones had de-
stroyed the houses OF the brave villag-
ers who had stuck to their homes.

IN DENVER NEXT WEEK
lSPECIAL TO INTER MOUNTAIN,

lsPEcIAL TO INTER MOUNTAIN.
Denver. May 2I.-Figuratively speaking,
there will be an eruption in labor circles
in Denver next week, which will make
Mount Pelec look like cigarette, II senti-
mcnt were tangible commodity. Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, will reach the city Satur-
day, accompanied by Thomas l. Kidd and
James O'Conncll Of the executive board of
that body, ostensibly to take hand in
mediation of the long standing troubles be-
tween the big organization and the West
ern Labor union.
The reception which will be rendered
these men when they apply for admission
to the conventions OF the Western Labor
union and the Western Federation of
Miners, will be anything but pleasant An
element exists in both bodies which is
bitterly opposed to even allowing the
American Federation of Labor leaders
within the meeting hall, much less to hear
the mspeak for harmonious action be-
tween the Eastern and Western bodies.
A few of the Western Labor union
leaders will advocate giving Gompers
hearing, but that merely out of general
respect of man toward man, and the pulse
of the convention will decide the qucs-
ton.
Throwing Gompers Out"
There is even open talk of Throwing
Gompcrs OUT if he appears at the conven-
ton hall. The most conservative leaders
in the Western Labor union and the West
ern Federation of Miners would not ven
ture denial of the ultimate drastic meas
ures If Gompers seeks to face the Western
bodies saying it is a matter to be decided
by the conventions. All, however, hurl
defiance at the Eastern man and declare
him the foe Of organized labor.
Gompers will be present at the mass
meeting at Coliseum hall under the aus
pices of the Western Federation of Min
ers, at which addresses will be made by
Eugene v Debs and the Rev. Father T.
J. Hagerty of Las Vegas, N. M. II is
said that part of Gompers' plan, upon
being refused admission to the conyen-
tions, is to rise in the audience at the
mass meeting and demand hearing.
Chance for Gompers.
The Western Federation of Miners will
probably declare for Socialistic principles
This will be just what Gompers wants az

r. Augustus leinzc, his superintendent,
T. II. Welton, and his foreman, John
Kane, of the Minnie Healy mine, were
before Judge Clancy today to answer TO
the eharge OF contempt recently prefer
red against them for the alleged viola
ton of an order OF the court
They were charged with contcmpt of
court by the plaintiff in the suit of Miles
finlen against lleinzc and the Iohnstown
Mining company over the Minnie Ilealy
mine. The alleged contempt consisted in
the'r refusal to permit party OF survey
ors OF the plaintiff to survey and inspect
the mine in compliance with an order
Of the court.
Judge Clancy made an order several
months ago, allowing the plaintiff to in
spect and survey the mine. The supreme
court upheld the order on appeal. only
modifying II TO the extent OF excepting
those openings running from the Minnie
lfeaiy boundary into the Tramway mine.
Excluded From Mine.
The surveyors sought To carry out the
order oi the court last Friday and Sat.
urday, but found the drifts barricadcd OH
the BOO and 900 levels Of the mine, and
that prevented the survey. The charge
OF contempt followed.
When the case opened IIcinzcs attor-
ncys sought TO stop the proceeding by OBJ
Jccting to the introduction OF evidence on
the ground that the aiiidavits in the case
did not charge facts that would support
contempt proceeding. Attorney l.. o.
Evans, for Finlen. argued that the aAida-
wits made dozen charges that would
support it.
Samuel Barker had been put on the
stand to testify in support of the ailida-
Wits charging llcinze, Wilson and Kane
with contempt for excluding the agents
OF finlcn designated to survey the Minnie
licaly mine from certain workings, and a
long argument for and against his testi-
mony was made.
Attorney Denny for lIcinzc admitted
that under the order Of survey and in
speciion the plaintiff, Finlcn, in the suit
was entitled to examine, inspect and sur
yey all workings in the mine upon veins
developed in the Minnie Hcaly, excepting
the opening leading into the Tramway

that the drifts barrcaded in the mine by
lleinzc lead into the Tramway and were

City Council Schemes to Confine the

At last nights meeting of the city coun-
Gil the question of placing restrictions on

ter was left in the hands of the judiciary
committee. This committee will make its
recommendations to the council at the

1t is significant fact that every mem.
Der of the council expressed himself in
favor of either abolshing the tough dis

cupants to such stringent rules that re-

Alderman Doull's views on the question
were generally accepted as the most prac-
