IN THE ANTHRACITE REGION.
The Strike of Engineers, Firemen
and Pumpmen Employed at
the Mines Begun.
TEMPORARY SUBSTITUTES EMPLOYED.
The Miners are Keeping Quiet, But
There is No Telling When an Out
break May Occur-The Companies
VIII Keep Special Officers At the
Different Mines.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 2.-The
strike of the engineers, firemen and
pumpmen employed in the anthracite
collieries for an eight-hour day at
present wages was inaugurated at
seven o'clock Monday morning.
There are conflicting reports as to
the number of men at work
The mine workers claim 90 per
cent. of the men obeyed the strike
orders. The mining superintendent
of the big coal companies say that
reports received show that the
pumps, as a rule, are in operation.
They admit that a great majority of
the firemen quit work, and that large
numbers of pumpmen and engineers
also refused to report, but they adj
that in nearly every operation
enough men were on hand to fill the
etrikers' places. The entire region
was reported to be very quiet, which
condition greatly relieved the appre-
hensive feeling that has prevailed for
the last few days. 1t is the belief
of both sides, however, that the
struggle has just begun, and there
is no telling when or where on out
break will occur. That there will be
some disturbance is not doubted.
a local authority says there are
employed in the 357 collieries in the
anthracite region 1,07O engineers, 81
600 firment and 1925 pumpmen.

FEMININE FINERY.
Dainty Bits of Dress That VIII he In
Vogue for the Warm
Weather.

Very gayly lowered machine
printed organdy is very much util-
lied for the making of pretty odd
evening waists.
Shirt waist frocks are to be ex-
plotted for summer rough and
ready service in place of the short
wooden skirt and the separate shirt
waist, says a fashion authority.
Stiff linen collars and starched
cuffs are things of the past. In
their place are soft tucked bands or
bands of lace edged with a tiny lace
ruffle.
Belts of brocaded satin ribbon are
in vogue. They fasten with a Jewel
or art nouveau buckle, and some
times have short ribbon ends.
Short sleeves are now worn. These
are not always accompanied by long
gloves, some women preferring to
show a well-shaped arm.
Pure white laces are used on tan
and biscuit gowns, while ecru and
string colored laces adorn toilets of
pure white silk, poplin, satin and
louisine.
The blue linens bid fair to be
among the most popular suits for all
outing purposes. They are mostly
severely tailor made, with strappings
of white linen or some slight touches
of embroidery.

LOST JURISDICTION.
The Fence Broke Down Under Judi.
cial Weight and Changed the
Laws Mandate,

Some of the supreme court just ices have
an inexhaustible fund of humor, and they
frequently intersperse funny anecdotes
with their solemn deliberations, once they
are inside the sacred domain of their pri-
vate session chambers, affirms the Washing
ton Star. Justice Brewer is one of the most
inimitable story tellers among them, and
he told one the other day that amused his
colleagues immensely. Out in Indiana, he
said, there was justice of the peace who
owned farm. One line of his fence formed
the boundary of the states of Indiana and
Ohio. Like others in rural districts who
hold that Office he had an abnormal appre-
citation of the responsibility of the office,
and never lost an opportunity to exercise
his prerogative of demanding that the peace
be preserved. One day his son and his hired
man got to fighting on stretch of the farm
near the boundary line fence, and the justice
of the peace rushed out and mounted the
fence. Then, with head cooked high and
the air of one who has but to command, he
shouted: 'In the name of the state of In
diana, 1 demand the preservation of the
peace!" Just then the fence gave way I'M
der his weight, and as he went down with
the fence topping over to the Ohio side he
shouted to his son: Give him the mis-
chief. Jim: I've lost my jurisd iction"

Ninety Per Cent. Responded to the
Order and Quit.


Shamol1in, Pa, June 2.-Miners
made no demonstrations at any Of
the 10 collieries within n radius of II
miles of this place, Monday, other
than to collect in groups on public
roads endeavoring to learn whether
pumpmen, fremen und engineers
would report for work. At least rs
per cent. of the three classes of work
men went on strike for the eight
hour workday. When fremen
ceased work their positions were
filed by company hands, principally
substitute bosses. Rather than take
the places of strikers a number of
sub-bosses resigned. Strike leaders
say they are highly gratified over
the situation. officials of coal COM
panies also declared they are pleased
that enough men were found to keep
up steam in most of the fire rooms.
1t is the intention of the strikers to
persuade men now at work to quit in
order to make the tie-up absolute.
No policemen are guarding any of
the collieries and strikers remain
away from the mines.

THE HAZLETON DISTRICT.
A Unanimous Response To the Order
to Strike.


Hazleton, Pa, June 2.-There has
been unanimous response in the
Hazleton district on the part of the
engineers, firemen and pump runners
to the strike order of the executive
board of the United Mine Workers.
AT the offices of some of the compa-
mics whose operations are in isC lated
portions of the district the officials.
when called up by telephone, said
they did not know how many of their
men had quit. The mine workers
have not yet received any definite fig
ures at their headquarters, so Ger
rect estimate of the number of stril1-
ers can not be given. All the compa-
MES whose men deserted their posts
promptly filed the places of the
strikers with non-union men brought
here from Philadelphia, and their
agents say the operation of the
pumps will not be interfered with by
reason of the strike.
Everything is quiet in the region
thus far. There Will he special
meeting of the clerks protective as
sociation to urge the local merchants
to offer their sympathy and support
to the strikers. The merchants will
also meet. 1t is stated that resolu-
lions will be adopted condemning all
business men who furnish supplies to
the special officers and non-uniOn
men, hundreds of whom are stationed
at nearly every colliery. In order to
avert trouble, the coal companies Will
keep their special officers at the
mines until the strike IS over. The
situation is so acIUe that the pres
ence of these men in the city, es-
pecially at night, is liable to be the
cause of an outbreak.
Colliery clerks who refused to take
charge of fire or pumps were dis
charged.
