SETTLE STRIKE.
Men Asked to Return to Work Under
Protection-Reported Division
OF Coal Market.

Shenandoah was one of the most
peaceful of the cities of this com.
monwealth Sunday. although blue
coated guardsmen of the National
Guard patrolled its streets with ball
cartridges In their rifles. People
gathered here and there on the
streets and watched without comment
the soldiers as they patrolled tho
town. During the morning Colonel
Rutledge granted passes to about 200
members OF his regiment who wished
TO attend church in Shenandoah. In
all the churches the blue of the
guardsmen could be seen, but more
particularly in the Roman Catholic
church of the Annunciation, of which
Father II. p. O'Reilly is pastor. He
told the miners of his congregation TO
return to work. and scored President
Mitchell. The Erie Company posted
notices at it's collleries at Pittston
requesting all the striking employees
to return to work. The company as
sured all men who returned ample
protection. This is believed to be the
first move on the part of the coal
companies to break the strike under
the protection of the troops. General
Wiley. since taking command of the
brigade. has issued an order to the
command advising that the soldiers

strike has not yet been settled, per.
sons in authority say there is every
prospect for 1t at any moment. II is
said that the coal operators have d.
vided the country into districts, and
will attempt to equalize the supply

Secretary Root was in conference
for five hours Saturday with j. p.
Morgan on board Mr.. Morgan's yacht

much dissension among the operators
and that some of them are desirous
of resuming mining by granting some
portion of the strikers demands.
