IN SCRANTON FIELD.
Operators Say They VIII Resume
Work at Galleries This Week.


Scranton, Pa, Oct. 12.-This is the
beginning of a week which it is gem
orally believed will put to a test the
claim OF the operators that they will
be enabled to start up their collieries
if given protection, and the counter
claim of the United Mine Workers as
expressed in Wednesdays resolutions
that the strikers will not return to
work without concessions, even though
the entire military of the United States
should be sent here to protect them.
With determination to prove their
claim the operators have been during
the past week making a supreme eff
fort to secure men. That they have
succeeded in some extent is evidenced
by announcements made with some
positiVenesS that various collieries will
resume operations in the course of a
few days. The Delaware and Hudson
Company will make a start tomorrow
morning at the Bellevue. The Green
Ridge Coal Company will open up it's
Green Ridge colliery, probably to-mor-
row or the next day, but assuredly
some day this week. Other companies
say they are figuring on a resumption
at certain collieries, but decline to say
the location. Claim is also made on
the operators side that the forces at
collieries already working are to be
largely increased during the week.
The United Mine Workers leaders
continue to assert that the military can
do nothing towards inducing men to
return to work, and that all the men
who could be induced to go back to
work without concessions are already
back.
Strike disorder is now almost wholly
wanting. During the past two days
the soldiers have had nothing to do
further than their regular patrol duty,
not a single call having come to any
of the three regiments in this county
to deal with disorder or threatened dis
order.
