NEITHER sIDE is WEAKENING
Both the Miners and Operators Are
strong TO All Outward
Appearance.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Sept. i4.--Tomorrow
will begin the nineteenth week Of the strike.
The time in which Senator Platt predicted
that the strike would end has passed and
the feeling here is that the end is still
far off. The reiteratlon by the coal presi-
dents during the week that no concessions
would be made and the resolutions passed
by nearly all the local unions OF the mine
workers, renewing their allegiance to their
officers and pledging to continue the strike
until concessions are granted show that
neither side to the controversy is weaken
ing. General Goblin, in charge OF the state
troops, encamped in this county, denies
that he is preparing to remove the troops
at an early date, or that he expects an or
der from the governor to withdraw the
troops He does not anticipate an order
OF that kind until there is a settlement OF
the strike.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE entire con-
gregation of the First Union Presbyterian
church of this city light at services
| voted on and adopted resolution calling
| on the coal operators and miners to end
the strike. The resolution reads in part:

| ana we earnestly request in the interest
| of the general welfare that they al once
| endeavor to adjust their differences and we
! recommend that If they are unable to come
10 any agreement among themselves they
| submit the matter for final and peaceabIe
adjustment by arbitration
In his sermon on Christ and the Re.
| ligion of the People," Rev. George Lor-
inner pastor Of the Madison Avenue Bap-
tist church. discussed the coal strike. The
refusal of the operators to listen to arbi-
tration, DR.. Lorimer said, would awaken
the people to speedy action.
Rev. Walter Bentley in All Souls church
talked on the strike subject and he thought
President Roosevelt ought to act.
