STRIKE'SSIXTHW WEEK
Various Disturbances Report
 sd, but None Serious.
4 FEW MORE FIRE BOSSES QUIT.
International Tenm Drivers Offer Help = President Mitchell Says the Situation Shows No
 Change.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 1.-The sixth week of the anthracite coal min- CTS strike began without q ripple to disturb the calmness of the situation. Rain fell nearly all day, which helped to keep the more than 150,000 idle men and boys indoors. Several reports of assault on workingmen and coal and iron policemen were received here from different sections of the region, but no one was seriously injured. Most of these attacks occurred under cover of darkness or at starting time in the morning. It was expected that the day would witness the refusal of large number of fire bosses and other mine bosses to go to work, but the best in- formation obtainable shows that the number of men who quit was not large. In fact, several of the mining superin- tendents in this region asserted they had more men at work at the engines and pumps than they had last week. President Mitchell and other labor leaders question this assertion and, on the contrary, claim that nearly half of the men who were at work on Satur- day refused to go into the collierieS yesterday. Neither side gave out any figures.
 Casper Clark of Toledo, O., president of the International Team Drivers as sociation, came in for some attention by labor leaders He submitted to an interview in which he said his organi- Zation would do all it could to help the striking miners. He said he will make a thorough canvass of the region to learn the sentiment of his men, which will help to guide the national associa- ton if the miners should ask the team sters for help.
 There is q revival of the story that the central Pennsylvania soft coal min CTS will be called out very soon, but President Patrick Gilday of the central Pennsylvania district reiterates what he had previously said, that the central Pennsylvania men will not be called out except as an extreme measure.
 Nothing has been given out at state headquarters, President Mitchell mere ly saying there was no change in either the anthracite or the West Virginia strike
 A dispatch from Scranton says that Charles Robinson, the Delaware and Hudson watchman who was shot at Olyphant Saturday night, will recover. He is unable to throw any light on the mystery as to who did the shooting. All he remembers is that he felt a stinging sensation in the breast and then lost consciousness. The coal com panies continue to cause arrests of strikers who molest their workmen.

BERLIN, June 17.-Queen Wilhelmi- ma of Holland is convalescing at Castle Schaumburg, in the valley of the Lahn. She drives out daily with the queen mother and is recovering her color.

BALTIMORE, June 17.-A number of Baltimore manufacturers are using oil in place of coal to furnish heat for the boilers at their plants. They al- lege that they find oil less expensive than coal, more effective and much cleaner and that it does away entirely with the great clouds of black smoke and the Soot and dust.
