Tamaqua, Pa, Oct PIN the
Panther Creek valley several pumpmen,
fifemen, and fire bosses reported to the
superintendent this morning. 1t is ex-
pected that by tomorrow every man will
be back. The Lehigh Coal and Naviga.
ton Company will give work to all who
apply. If their positions are filled by
non-union men, positions equally as
good will be found for them and this is
calculated to satisfy union and non
union men alike. Number Six colliery,
at Coal Dale, will start in full operation
tomorrow morning. This is the largest
breaker the Lehigh Company has. AT
Lansford and Summit Hill, mass meet
ings, parades, and bonfres were in iull
sway nearly all night. AT Coaldaie
during the celebration a soldier got into
an alteration with non-union men, and
was MORALLY shot in the neck. John
Markle, of Hazelton, is reported under
the ban of the union, and the fact that
only one foreman reported for work at
Greenwood colliery tends to give the
report stinge of truth. President
Reilly of the Lehigh Coal and Naviga-
ton Company, has issued statement to
the effect that under no circumstances
will any nOn-union man be discharged
to made place for strikers. In few
days the company will post notices
admonishing the union men against
abuse to non-union men and any one
violating the notice will be discharged.
At Glberton during the night the
homes of two non-union men were
partially wrecked by dynamite. Both
families were in bed at the time but
escaped injury. Scores of steammen,
blacksmiths and carpenters returned to
work through this valley this morning.
A general resumption will be effected to-
morrow at most of the collieries.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 22.-It is
estimated that by Saturday night more
than 200, 900 tons of coal will be shipped
from the anthracite coal mines. Next
week it is estimated that more than
700. 900 tons of coal will be mined and
shipped
Wilkesbarre, Pa. Oct. 22.-Prepara-
tons for general resumption of work
in all the collieries of the valley are
being made and an air of hustle and
hurry is noticeable about the works.
The large force of deputies which was
brought here by a Pittsburg detective
agency are being paid off today and
leaving for their homes. The soldiers,
it is learned, in anticipation of trouble
between the strikers who return to work,
tomorrow, and the non-union men,
will no doubt be retained here and in
other localities for several weeks.
Hazelton, Pa, Oct. 22.-Engineers,
firemen, pumpmen, blacksmiths, car
penters, ETC., who were on strike, re-
ported for work this morning. The ma
iority were taken back, but many were
told that when wanted they would be
sent for. No trouble occurred anywhere,
the strikers evidently expecting such a
movement. All but two of the collieries

morrow. Operators of Silver Brook
coliery have served notice on the strik
ers that all non-union men now working
will be retained and fully protected.
Trouble is expected tomorrow and two
companies of the Third regiment have
been stationed near the colliery. The
firm of G. B. Markle & Co. posted a
notice this morning notifying employees
to apply individually for work tomor-
row. The order has created the greatest
excitement among employees, who fear
that they will be required to renounce
the union before being taken back. A
company of the First regiment was
called to Cranberry last night to sup
press a riot in which a non-unionist was
badly beaten. Strikers showed fight and
revolyers were displayed. Two ring
leaders were arrested and placed in Jail.
