Also a Falling Off, it is Said, in
Relief Funds.
TROOPS SENT TO PANTHER CREEK.
The Railroads are Employing Extra
Brakemen.

Tamaqua, Pa, Sept. 30.-After
lapse of several days troops were
again sent through Panther creek
valley this morning. This action
was taken because the turbulent ele-
ment has been acting in boisterous
manner in their effort to intlmidate
nOn-unionists on their way to work.
The presence of the soldiers had
quieting effect, and although striker
pickets were out in fource, there was
no disturbance.
1t is asserted that the strikers in
this vicinity are showing little in
terest In their union as compared
with few months ago and that tin e
distribution of relief funds is far too
small to meet the demand made dur
ing the past few days. Two hundred
extra brakemen have been hired for
the Shamokin division of the Phila-
delphia and Reading railroad. Strike
leaders claim that the reason the
company is hiring so many men, is
IN urtler to be prepared In case some
OF their crews refuse TO handle nafd
coal. Railroad officials say the
extra force is being hired because
the company expects the coal traffic
to gradually increase.
