WORK RESUMED AT
BELLEVUE MASHERY
Burned Building Has Been Replaced
in Just Thirty-hve Days--Mass
Meetings Daily.

True to its announcement, the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany yesterday started UP the Bellevue
washery. All the woodwork was not
| in place. but the plant was In shape
for operation and the great need of
| coal prompted Il start at the earliest
possible moment.
The washery was destroyed by fire on
the night of Friday. August /. While 1t
was still burning, Superintendent Phil
lips set about the task OF replacing It..
Ordinarily it takes ninety days to build
a washery. Superintendent Phillips de-
clared the washery would be rebuilt
inside of sixty days. Yesterday was
the thirty-fifth day since the fire. 1t
was August 8 before the first timber
was delivered on the ground. On three
Of the four intervening Sundays work
was shut down. Twenty-Five days were
actually spent in construction.
The company claims 1T has It's old
force of forty men back at work, and
that it could get many more If it needed
them. This makes five washeries the
company now has in operation.
Assistant Superintendent Tobey stated
yesterday that there is mining going on
at nearly every one of the companys
twenty-four collieries. At six Of them
coal is being hosted and run through
the breakers. At the others coal is be-
ing cut and loaded or set aside ready
for loading after the available cars are
all filed When sufficient coal is ready
for hoisting at any place, the breaker
will be started.
Some of the miners now at work in
collieries where the breakers are in
operation are making small fortunes.
One miner is given three, four or five
chambers, with a laborer for each
chamber and all the cars he can fill.
He simply attends to the blasting and
such other duties as only certificate
miner is allowed under the law to do.
At one coliery in this district a num-
Der of rockmen have turned in at min
ing and are receiving a fixed wage of
$l2 a day. This, it is said, does not be-
gin to compare with the money being
made by some miners who are being
paid by the car.
The strikers mass meetings continue
daily, and all the leaders are busy at
tending them, speaking words of en-
couragement to the men, and urging
them to do all they can In the way of
making themselves self-supporting, so
as to relieve as much as possible the
drain on the unions treasury.
A big meeting was held at Archibald
yesterday afternoon and another at
Glen Lyon at the same time. Secretary
Dempsey, Vice-President Ryscavage
and Board Member Healey were among
the speakers at Archibald. President
Nichols attended the Glen Lyon meet

in profitable day by picking coal from
the "bony" that was hauled thither for

There was a further settling, yester>
day, of the abandoned workings of the
old Trip slope, and the twenty five
acres OF Trip park which were so Sc
verely disturbed u week ago, suffered
another collapse.
The greatest damage was done at the
eastern and western eXtremities of the
disturbed district Several houses near
the western end sank three to five feet
and the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western tracks, on the eastern end,
were depressed for a distance of fifty
feet, the center of the depression hav-
ing settled fully five feet. 1t appeared
from surface indications that the work.
ings which caved in last week settled
some more. yesterday. and also that
new cave-ins occurred along the edge
of the old.
The center of the disturbance is in
the neighborhood of the intersection Of
Sumner avenue and Bulwer street. just
north of the culvert through which the
trolley cars formerly ran beneath the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
tracks. The extent of the depression
is most apparent on the railroad, where
the telegraph wires skirting the road
bed which were formerly at the normal
touched by a man with Il cane. Seven
feet of filling was used to bring the
tracks to their proper level after last
weeks cave, and six feet more had to
be put in yesterday.
