NOT A BREAK IN
RANKS OF MINERS

Shenandoah, Pa. August s.-Today
marked the close of the thirteenth week
of the coal miners strike and not break
has occurred in the ranks of the men.
Rumors that collleries are about to start
work are heard, but no coal company
official will publicly say they are true.
The mine workers officials continue to
express themselves as confident of sue
cess. They are in the field working to
keep the men together and prevent a pos
sible break.
The likelihood of the strike continuing
for some considerable time has led the
officers and men of the National Guard
in camp here to believe they are in the
geld for long period. 1t is probable the
militia will be kept on duty till the end
of the strike. This is not welcomed by
the citizen soldiers because they are sac
rifcing personal interests in being COM
PEELED to remain away from their busi-
ness.
District President Fahris was here to-
day consulting with local leaders Mr..
Fahris says there is very little distress
among the strikers.

Scion Jacobs, Robert C. Redus, A. L,
Fulenyider, w. C. shackleford.
Mr. London's friends who have taken
his candidacy in hand have entered him
in the race and declared that they will
conduct his campaign for him to a sue
cessful conclusion. Mr.. London Is not
expected to return to the city for sew
eral weeks, but it is probable that if
he accedes to the demands of his friends
and make an active campaign through
out the county.
Mr.. Lonodn for some time past, has
taken an active interest in matters per-
tanning to the public welfare of the
county and 1t is but natural, so his adj
mrers assert, that he should be the can
didate of the business and public spirit
ed citizens of the county.
Mr.. Burkhalter, when seen last night
regarding his reported entry in the legis-
nounced his platform as follows II am
for General Pettus for the senate Re-
garding an elective railroad commission,
this question will be submitted to the
voters In the coming primary, and If the
majority vote for an elective commission
I will not only vote for the measure, but
will give 1t my hearty support"
The announcement of Mr.. Burkhalter's
candidacy was the subject of much dis
cussion among local politicians last night,
as was that of Mr. London's.
II is rumored that one or two other
well-known citizens of Birmingham Will
enter the race for the legislature today.
