OF the city today while attempting to
rescue his son, William Sheuch, a
non-union workman, employed at the
company's No. 40 coliery, FROM mob
of about 5000 strikers, who had
gathered from all parts Of the Hazel
ton region on the roads leading from
the mine, to Illustrate the plans OF
the company fora partial resumption
Of operations with a non-union force
Of $50 hands,
A majority Of the non-union men
we're. taken to the workings in spe.
cial train, with which the strikers
did not attempt to interfere. Will
lam Sheuch, who lives In the city,
walked from his home toward the
colliery and thus fell into the hands
Of the pickets. Most Of the clothing
was torn from his back in the strug-
gle which followed. When Sheuch IS
father rushed to his aid the mob set
upon the elder Sheuch, who was d.
nally rescued by mine foreman and
removed to the miners hospital.
Sheuch was stabbed Ia the breast
and on each hip, kicked In the alb
domen and struck on the head with
stone. His injuries are not very
serious. The knife which was sunk
into his breast struck rib and that
fact probably saved his life. The
effort to prevent work at the mine
was successful.
The report OF resumption at the
Cranberry colliery of A. Pardee & Co.
caused about 500 men to gather near
the mine today, but no attempt was
made to start work.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 26.-Much
Importance is attached to the calls
General Goblin receives from coal
mine operators, who spend hours
with the general in going over the
strike situation.
After having met a number OF OPP
orators, General Goblin said today
that he does not see any signs Of a
settlement. In fact, he states that
all indications point more deiinate-
ly to prolongation Of the strike
now than they did when he first
reached here. He keeps in touch
with the strikers as well as the oper
ators and may be seen daily riding
over the hills with members Of his
staff.
Along the road he frequently holds
conversations with miners, all Of
whom display friendly feeling to-
ward him personally. There is nc
Ill feeling here against the soldiers,
and the militia has become so popu-
lar that movement has been set
afoot to start company in this
town.
Individual operators are beginning
to display willingness to end the
strike if method could be shown
them how they could make concess,
ions to the men without supplying
themselves. In speaking with mem.
bers of the staff at brigade headquar
tiers some have within the past few
days stated that if way could be
suggested whereby they could give in
without placing themselves in a bad
light they would favor settlement
General Goblin is using his good
offices toward settlement, and he
allows no opportunity to pass when
in conference with operators to make
a conservative plea for the men on
strike.

ey says he was followed through the
sreets by crowd of strikers and
sympathizers, who jeered and booted

Tamaqua, Pa, Aug. Pinot since
the inaug uration of the anthracite
coal miners strike have the united
mine workers had so many pickets
patrolling the Panther creek valley
as today. Every road and path lead
ing to the GOLFERS were engaged in
an effort to persuade non-union men
not to go to work. No new recruits
were added to the working force and
quite number. were turned back.
The extra vigilance was due to the
rumor that it is the intention OF
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
company to cut coal as soon as suf-
ticient men can be secured.
