Mining Unions Reatfirm Allegiance to
Their President.
SETTLEMENT OUTLOOK DARK
Mae Workers' Chief Now Announcer
That There IL Nothing to In.
dictate u Speedy End
to the Strike.

Tamaqua, Pa, Sept. 13.-Nearly all
the locals Of the United Mine Workers
n this vicinity have held meetings at
which the strikers reaffirmed their al
IRiance to President Mitchell and
pledged themselves to stay out until
the coal companies granted conces-
dons, no matter how long it may be.
The men apparently have little hope
that the meeting of Mitchell and Gov
Gnor Stone in Harrisburg will have
much effect on the strike situation.
1t is known that in response to a
message sent by the Indianapolis News
Mr.. Mitchell replied as follows from
Vilkesbarre, 'There is nothing to indi-
cate an early settlement of the anthra-
cite strike"
A number of local branches of the
United Mine Workers in the Pottsville
district at their regular weekly meet
ings have adopted resolutions express
Ing their intention to remain on strike
until ordered back to work by National
President Mitchell or by convention
Of mine workers. Among these locals
Is that at Donaldson, near which place
rs the Good Spring colliery, which is
operating with large force Of men
ard is shipping coal.
Claims by Mine Omcials.
1t is claimed by the mine officials at
Pottsville that number of union men
who live in Ashland are employed at
the Good Spring colliery. This claim
10 denied by the union leaders.
Officials of the coal companies state
that on Monday two more breakers in
the Tamaqua section will be converted
into washeries one in the Panther
creek valley and another on the out
skirts Of this place. 1t is expected that
the two plants will ship over 100 tons
Of coal day. A force Of deputies is
being secured to guard the operations.
A Wilkesbarre dispatch says that
there was some trouble at the Prospect
mine of the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany during the morning. While a
number of nonuniOn men were on their
way to work they We're attacked by a
mob and two of the men were knocked
down and several shots were fired, but
no one was injured Sheriff Jacobs
sent number of officers to the scene,
and order was soon restored.

troleum. soon exploded. Others were
in direct line of the fire, which spread
rapidly in all directions. The ground
was saturated with oil, and there was
little chance Of stopping the flames
with the means at hand.
At o'clock the large tanks belong
ing to the Higgins property We're re-
ported burning. Runners were sent out
in all directions I'd summon the owners
or their representatives..
Great Excitement In Beaumont.
The streets of Beaumont are crowd
ed with thousands of persons running
about in wild excitement and endeavor-
ing to obtain means of conveyance to
the scene of the fire.
At l 80 a. m. the telegraph operator
at Gladys reported that he feared he
would soon be compelled to leave his
post. At $50 O'Clock the wire failed,
and further communication with
Gladys was severed. Before the wire
was lost the report was in circulation
at Gladys that two men had been Sc
riously burned. The workmen on Spin
die Top hill were standing about I'M
able to do anything even toward pro
tecting that portion of the field which
was not yet on fire.
At 2:3O o'clock Gladys reported that
the flames had ceased to spread and
that if there were no further explosions
of tanks further damage was unlikely.
The tank known as the Higgins had
blown it's top off, and the oil inside was
burning.
Just before communication was cut
off the fire was reported to be burning
only in the Higgins tank and in the
Keith Ward tract. A large number of
derricks and several pumping plants
had been destroyed, much oil had been
burned. and one gusher was shooting
ND flames. The extinguishing OF the
fire in this we'll was believed to be the
hardest task before the fire fighters.
A statement just issued regarding
the Spindle Top oilfield shows that
there are 40 wells in the belt. Some of
these. the report stated, were buried in
earth in fear of just such fire as the
one now burning.
