THOUSANDS RETURN TO WORK.
Many Non Union Men Give up Their Jobs and
Leave.
(By the Associated Press


Wilkesbarre, Pa. Oct. 22.-Thousands
of men began work today repairing the
mines and placing the collieries in con-
dition for the general resumption of coal
mining which will take place throughout
the anthracite region tomorrow Those
men who are directly engaged in cutting
and handling coal will not under the de-
cision of the cnvention return to the
mines until tomorrow While there were
thousands of men who were able to again
begin earning their daily bread tomor-
row, there were hundreds who were dis
appointed when they applied to the su-
perintendents of the collieries where they
were formerly employed They were prin-
cipally steam men, engineers, flremen and
pump runners who struck on June End
for an eight-hour day and also to help
the miners win their battle These men
wanted their old places back. but in many
instances the company officials refused
to discharge those who stood by them
during the strike. There were many in
the Wyoming Valley, however, who are
fortunate enough to find employment. The
company officials maintain they will not
discriminate against union or non union
men and that work will be given all men
when there are vacancies.
Although the strike is over, the path
of the non union workman is still
thorny one They are disliked by the
unionists and it is not expected the re-
lations between them will be improved
when they get into the mines together.
Reports were received here today that
scores of the non union men have given
up their positions and are leaving the
region.
President Mitchell today began the
work of preparing the miners side of
the case for presentation to the arbitra
ton commission. He will be the lead
ing representatives of the workmen be-
fore the tribunal and will gather around
him such experts in anthracite mining
as will be necessary to properly present
his case to the commission. He said to-
day he did not know when he would make
his first appearance before the commits
sion.

sand Persons
(By the Associated Press.)

Charleston, S. c., Oct. 22.-Nathan
Weiss. Vice President of the American
Cigar Company, has submitted PROPOSE
tion to the business people of Charleston,
which may result in the opening of a big
cigar factory in this city, where not less
than 1000 cigar makers will be employed.
Mr.. Weiss came here today and had a
conference with Mayor Smyth and promi-
nent tobacco men, and while nothing Off
cial was given out for publication, it was
stated that satisfactory negotiations are

There are certain concessions asked of

these will be granted. The question of
labor has been considered, and only white
persons will be employed. The American
Cigar Company, Mr.. Weiss says, is ready
to come to Charleston as soon as the
pending negotiations are successfully car
ried through.

The explosion occurred just before

dust, which thickly overhung the mine,
to explode with groat force. Some
idea of the force Of the explosion can
be learned from the fact that all those

was fired.

New York, Oct Is. The regular
weekly meeting Of the coal operators
yesterday was preceded by a confer
ence with a committee of the Ma
tiOnal Association Of Manufacturers,
and at the conference thesalient points
Of plan to settle the anthracite coal
strike were submitted by the manu-
facturers. The operators will consider

proposal Of arbitration submitted by
the operators.

the manufacturers) secretary, at the

Mitchell agreed to forego the recog-
milton Of the union In his demands
upon the operators if there was gen
eral advance in wages Of 10 per cent.
The operators began their meeting
Immediately after the conference with
the manufacturers, and at the close of
the meeting President Baer, Of the
Reading, said that no statement would
be given out regarding 1t. All of the

operators would talk.
A copy Of resolutions adopted at a

Washington, Oct. Is. - President
Gompers, Of the Federation Of Labor,
with whom Mitchell has been In con-
slant communication and consultation,
declined all requests Of newspapers for
an expression Of opinion on the propo-
sition of the coal operators, but last
night stated his views to the Asso-
ciated Press. Gompers aid: "You can
readily understand that want to leave
this whole matter in the hands of
Mr.. Mitchell and his colleagues. 1 am
particularly anxious not to say any
thing that might be construed other
wise. 1 will say that In my opinoin
the proposition made by the opera
tors, at least so far as their designa-
tiOn of who should be invited to go on
the commission of arbitration Is con-
cerned, is an insult to the president of
the United States" From which 1t
will be correctly inferred that Com
pers sees little good in the PROPOSE
ton.
New York, Oct. 15.-One of the men
prominent in coal circles said yester-
day: 1.-THE arbitration proposition now
before President Roosevelt was for
mulated by the men whose names and
interests are appended thereto. 1t is
only fair to say that Mr.. Morgan took
an active part in the proceedings, and
his suggestions were most valuable.
The operators realized that matters
had reached the stage where some
body had to give way. As men Of COM
mon sense they knew that they could
not freeze the American public.
We believe we have been
more than fair in our position. Un-
til we know how it has been received
we can say nothing more"
