LITTLE OR NO INCREASE
 IN PRODUCTION EXPECTED,

Wilkesbarre Pa, October 12.-Nothing new developed in the strike situation here today. Not one soldier was sent out from the camp located in this city To- night 1t looks as though there will be very little or no increase in the produc- tion of coal during the next week. The miners are as firm today in their declara- tions not to return to work until they eet some concessions as they have been here tofore.
 The appeal issued yesterday by the American Federation of Labor was re- ceived with considerable satisfaction by the strikers, but there was considerable discussion over the paragraph in the ap- peal which asserted that the miners would be willing to leave their case into the hands of J. Pierpont Morgan. When Mr Mitchell's attention was called to it last night he said it was an error. To- dav he refused to discuss 1t. It is evident there is some mistake and that he does not care to call attention to it by dis cussing the matter

THIS WEEK WILL PUT
 OPERATORS TO TEST.

Scranton, Pa, October 12-This is the beginning of a week, which it is general ly believed will put to test the claims of the operators that they will be en- abled to start up their collierles if given protection and the counter claim of the United Mine Workers organization as expressed in Wednesdays resolutions that the strikers will not return to work without concessions, even though the en- tire military force of the United States should be here to protect them.
 With determination to prove their claim, the operators have been for the past week making a supreme effort to secure men. That they have succeeded to some extent is evidenced by announce ments made with some positiveness that various collieries will resume operations in the course of a few days. The Dela- ware and Hudson company will make a start tomorrow morning at the Bellevue. The Green Ridge Coal company will open up it's Green Ridge colliery probably to- morrow or the next day, but assuredly some day this week. Other companies say they are figuring on a resumption at certain collieries but decline to give their location. Claim is also made on the operators side that the forces at collieries already working are to be largely in- creased during the week.
 The United Mine Workers leaders con- tinue to assert that the military men can do nothing towards inducing men to return to work and that all the men who could be induced to go back to work without concessions are already back
 Strike disorder is now almost wholly wanting. During the past two days the soldiers have had nothing to do further than their regular patrol duty, not a single call having come to any of the regiments in this county to deal with disorder or threatened disorder.

DROUGHT IN ARKANSAS.
Section of State Where There Has
Been No Moisture Since
Last April.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 24.-In an
effort to relieve the condition of set
tiers in the drought-stricken section
of northern Arkansas steps were
taken Saturday at the live stock ex-
change to raise contributions to pur-
chase provisions for the suffering peo-
pie. A general appeal is to be made
to the people of Kansas City.
A deplorabIe story of want and des-
titution was brought from Arkansas
by A. L. Doss, of Handy, Sharp county,
one of the five counties in which the
suffering is most intense. He says:
"Since last April there has not been a
good rain in our section. What little
vegetation the sun did not dry up was
nipped by the fall frosts l myself tried to
raise peas, kaffir corn and turnips, which,
better than corn and wheat, can stand a
drought, but even these were a failure.
The kaffir corn grew only foot high and
the peas not more than six inches. The
people had absolutely no source of income.
They have had neither food nor water for
their stock and finally, when reduced to
the extremity where they had no food for
themselves, were forced to sell their cattle
horses and mules. Their present condition
can hardly be described. Many families
have subsisted for days on acorns alone.
The drought condition extends
northward across the Missouri line
from Arkansas.
