Whole District Picketed.

Tamaqua, Aug. 26-Not since the in
auguration of the anthracite coal miners
strike have the United Mine Workers had
so many pickets patrolling the Panther
Creek district as Monday. Every road
and path leading to the colleres was
guarded in an effort to persuade the
nonunion men not to go to work. No new
recruits were added to the working force
and quite a number were turned back.
The extra vigilance was due to the ru-
NOR that 1t is the intention of the Lehigh
Coal & Navigation company TO cut coal
as soon as sufficient men can he secured.
An official Of the company admitted to-
day that practical miners are hard to
procure and that none OF the coal com
pancs Is able 10 operate any of the
mines for this reason.
