Government Of the hopeless condition Of
the district in consequence Of the last
eruption OF the volcano. They appealed
for food and. shelter especially for their
terrified wives and children and begged
to be removed from the northern quarter
of the island to form a new settlement in
another locality whore they could safely
and conveniently start life afresh.
The administrator expressed his hearty
sympathy for the sufferers and promised
to communicate the facts to his chief, to-

he hoped the Government would soon be

Result of the PrOtracted
Strike.
ONE AcclDEr{ REPORTED
Coal Taker : ut Not 0ne-half
NorrS Production.
Numbers Steam Men Who Apply
for Work are Told That
There Are No
Vacancies.

Wiikesbarre, Pa, Oct. 2s.-The resump-
ton of mining throughout the anthracite
region was not as general today as ex-
pected.
Unlocked for difficulties were encoun-
tered in the shape Of water. and accu-
INFLATED gas and dangerous roofs which
threatened to fall and entomb the work.
era were also discovered In many Of the
collieries
The mine supcrintendents would take
no chances and the mining OF coal was
put Off until all parts Of the underground
workings can be made safe. This will
take a few days yet. and in some cases
II will take weeks.
Although work was carried on in some
mines which are not considered in the
best of condition. no accidents were re-
the machinery and everything else con-
badly and it was found necessary to close
down after steam had been raised and the
miners were ready to go to work. From
reports received from the entire anthra-
cite region, the number OF mines In opera
ton is given as q little less than two
thirds Of the total number, but the output
of coal was less than half the normal.
As was to be expected, there was more
or less dissatisfaction among the old en-
ployes over the reopening of the mines.
Where 1t was decided not to resume work
for a few days, the men took II that the
coal companies did not want their SER
vices and many complaints reached Pres
ident Mitchells headquarters.
Better Feeling All Around.
But as the day wore on and the true
situation became known, there was bet
ter feeling all around. President Mitch
ell expects that when all the mines set
in operation, there will be less complaints
Until all the collier1es do resume there
will be more or less idle men airing their
discomfort.
It looks as though the union engineers
were going to have some difficulty get
ting book their old places. At nearly
every mine where the striking engineers
made application for work today, they
were told that there were no vacancies.
A large number of carpenters are also out
in the cold. A delegation of carpenters
waited on President Mitchell today and
told him of their grievances. He advised
them to wait a few days and see II en-
ployment would not be offered them.
President Mitchell believes that when
general resumption takes place there will
be a few of the mine employees Idle.
The firemen are being taken back in
larger numbers than any of the steam
men. That is because they are expert
enced and the men who took their places
are not so capable.
The only friction reported between union
and non-union men was at several col
lieries in the Wyoming region where the
miners objected to being lowered in the
mines by non-unlon men.
President Mitchell was busy at head
quarters today getting the miners side
of the case ready for presentation to the
arbitration board.
