MINERS P|L|NG Up
BIC DEFENSE FUND
HAVE ALREADY MORE THAN 2,
100000 IN BANK.
All Indications Point to Strike in
the Anthracite Region )
Next Spring.

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 3.-The question
of whether or not the coal miners in
the anthracite region will strike next
spring, so soon as the agreement which
followed the end of the strike Of 1902
comes to an end, is becoming more and
more the question of the day through
cut the hard coal region, and, judging
by present indications, a strike is GER
tain.
The men, headed by President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America, are firm in declaring that
they must be given an eight-hour day
while the operators are firm in assert
ing that under no circumstances will
they consent to any further shortening
of the hours of labor.
Tomorrow's Labor Day demonstra-
tion throughout the anthracite district
will eclipse anything in the history of
the coal mining industry in the United
States, even the great John Mitchell
day, which followed the settlement OF
the last strike. The miners are losing
no opportunity to solidify their ranks
and bring into the fold of unionism all
non-union miners. AS an instance of
this, 1t is stated upon excellent author
ity that within the last three months
hundreds of men who had been barred
by the labor union becaues they worked
as strike breakers in the last strike,
have been permitted to join the union
and are now full-hedged union men.
In the meantime the operators and
railroads have not been idle. Millions
upon millions of tons Of coal have been
scattered among the various storage
places along the Reading, the Lehigh,
the New Jersey Central, the Lacka-
wanna, the Erie, the Pennsylvania and
other coal carrying roads. 1t is esti-
mated that there is at present in stor-
age some 100000 tons of anthracite
coal. But, even with this enormous
quantity of coal on hand, the railroad
companies will have their hands full
should the miners succeed, as they de-
clare they will, in tieing up absolutely
all of the mines of the district. The
miners declare they don't want much
They are satisfied with the present
wage COuNlLiOl anu l"O
propositions to the operators-recogni-
| tion of their union and an eight-hour
work day. This, through their spokes-
man, President John Mitchell, they de.
clare they must have. The miners can
60 into a strike better equipped than
ever before for such battle. In the
bank at Indianapolis where their funds
are kept are deposited more than ST.
900, 900, and this sum is being added
to weekly through the Strike emer-
gency investment" levy the last con-
vention. BY the time the strike Is ac-
tually ordered the officials Of the union
claim they will have defense fund"
of more than $5,000,OO0. The strike
will cost the miners s25,000 day, so
they will have six months fund In
hand before hostilities actually begin.

crook, who was concerned in the rob-
berry of the American Express Office in
Paris in April, 1901, when the safe was
dynamited and over 100000 francs was

years penal servitude on Devils ISL
and has escaped from the French penal
station off the coast of Guiana, is con-
firmed. Guerrin got away five weeks

naturally reticent as to how the bold
American crook made his get away"

riers of DEVILS Island, 1t has been
learned that he escaped in rowboat
which had been cached" on the coast
by his friends. Guerrin was we'll sup

it is believed that he succeeded In cor
rupting some Of his jailers
Guerrin originally came from Chi
cago and was pal of Clark Parker,
alias William Stetson and Bill the
, Brute. They quarreled after the rob-
berry in France, and Parker shot Guer-
rim, dangerously wounding him. They
became reconciled and went to London
where after another quarrel Parker
"peached" on Guerrin, who was taken
back to France and sentenced.
The police of New York and London
have been warned to be on the lookout
