FIRE BOSSES STICK
That's What the Anthracite OPP

ton at the Mines.
STRIKERS SAY THAT MANY ARE OUT
q Matter of Fact-Warmer
in Virginia.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, June 1.-THE
sixth week of the anthracite coal
miners strike began yesterday with
out Il ripple to disturb the calmnesS
of the situation. Rain fell nearly all
day. which helped to keep the more
than 100000 idle men and boys IN
doors. Several reports of assaults on
wOrkingmen and coal and iron police
men We're received here from differ
ent sections of the region. but no one
was seriously injured Most of these
attacks occur under the cover of dark
ness or ut SSarting time in the morn
ing. 1t was expected that yesterday
would witness the refusal of Il large
number of fire bosses and other mine
bosses TO go to work, but the best
information obtainable shows that the
number Of men who quit was not
large.
They Differ q "A Point.
In fact several of the mining super-
intendents in this region asserted that
they had more men at work Mt the
engines and pumps than they had last
week. President Mitchell and other
labor leaders question this assertion.
and declare that nearly half of the
men who We're at work on Saturday
refused to 20 into the collieries yester-
day. Neither side gave out any fig
ureS.
Talk OF n Soft Coal Strike.
There was revival Yesterday of
the story that the central PennSylva-
mia soft coal miners will be called out
very soon. but President Gilday. of
the central Pennsylvania district.
threw cold water on the proposition.
He said that the central PENNSYLVANIA
men would not be called out except
rs an extreme measure. He thought
n curtailment OF soft coal production
in his district would be a more likely
action. Some of the miners in his re-
gion. lie said, have already suggested
to him that the number Of days of
work each week be cut down to three.
four or five. thus cutting off q con-
siderable supply of soft Coal that is
coming east.
More Intense In the Kanawha Field.
Charleston, w. Va. June 1.-THE
strike situation in the Kanawha fields
is more intense. The Winnefrede min-
erS struck yesterday. This miae has
had more men working than any other
mine IN the Kanawha field sincc-the
strike was inaugurated. None of the
men Showed up for work yesterday
morning. Three mines of the Kama
wha and Hooking company accepted
concessions. and are working. Orders
Were issued to close all other mines
Of the company. The company oper-
ates all the mines on the north side
of the Kanawha river. The company
has sent all its empty ears to Ohio,
where ii has mines running.

To reaffirm or not to reaffirm the

Advocates of absolute silence on the
Kansas City platform and of a brief

to themselves until yesterday. The

Senator Bailey. of Texas. and Con-

advised their Illinois colleagues to
insist upon reaffirmation. Congress
