man, A duplicate order has been re-

has since gone out of business their
entire plant having been completely de-

)mals out at the ring entrance at the

came confused. The double four-horse

lady and her horses were crowded

There are no new developments what
ver in the strike situation here today.
All the washeries closed down yester-
day. This morning about 125 of the
Pennsylvania Coal companys mules
from the Barnum colliery were taken
to the companys farm at Inkerman.
The Barnum colliery is to be closed
down completely. The fires in the boil
er room will be drawn and the mine
opening and entrances to the breaker
boarded up. This action is taken at
this colliery because there is little or
no water in the mines there and it is
unnecessary to keep the pumps run
ming. There seems to be some dissatis-
faction among the pump runners and
engineers employed at the small COM
panies in regard to the action by the
executive committee meeting at
Wilkes Barre on Wednesday. We have
it on good authority that these men
would be better pleased If a uniform
wage scale was adopted, that is, If they
would be paid the same wages as are
paid by the large companies for the
same class of work. A meeting of the
pump runners, engineers and flremen
will be held in st. Aloysius hall here
