Scranton Pa.s May i2.--There will
be no coal mined in the Scranton end
of the anthracite region to-day. Even
though the strike order was not GER
tain of being religiously obeyed, there
would be no mining, as the companies
agreed at a meeting Of the general
managers and superintendent Satur-
day that no attempt would be made
to operate. Some of the companies,
however, propose TO keep a few, at
least, of their washeries running to
insure a supply of culm for locomo-
tives, hosting engines and the like.
The companies will not admit that
the agreement to refrain, from an att
tempt at operating is eventually,to
resolve itself into a lockout should
events at Hazleton make such thing
possible. ''''''>
The strike has already made itself
seriously felt in other lines Of work.
The railroads have laid off four.fifths
of their coal train crews, in all
about eight hundred men, and the
Erie shops at Dunsmore, where mine
cars and machinery are repaired, will
shut down indefinitely, beginning to-
day, throwing 800 men ont of EN-
