Philadelphia, April 3-There was a
complete suspension OF mining opera

cordance with the order issued last
week by President Mitchell OF the
United Mine Workers OF America
and the scale committee of that or
ganiZation, with the solitary exception
OF The Oxford colliery, a small indie.

Every colliery was opened as usual,
and in readiness for the workers, but
there was no response TO the blowing
OF the whistles other than the appear
ance OF the engineers, tiremen, pump
men and others whose presence at
them from injury and who were eX-
empted in President Mitchell's order
The action OF the miners occasioned
no surprise on the part of the oper-
ators. who, while they offered work
ami protection TO any who might de-
ticipaIe the. acceptance or their offer.
The best OF feeling between operators
and miners is reported from all Sec
lions and the hope that a satisfactory
agreement may be reached at the con-
ference in New York today is expect
ed on both sides. Significance is at
tached by the miners to the fact that
there is no apparent attempt on the
part of the operators to import non
union laborers, which they regard as
a favorable sign. The mine leaders
are careful to assert that no strike
has been declared the suspension,
they claim, being merely business
necessity, as the miners have no
arrangement with the operators until
the scale is adjusted by the commit
tee.
There are 400 collieries in the an
thracite region, employing 10000
men and boys. Miners officials esti-
mated the number Of mine workers
who obeyed the order to suspend OPP,
erations as follows: Carbonate, a.
600; Scranton, 10000; Pittston, 49,
600; Wilkesbarre, $4,000; Hazeton.
10000; Shenandoah, 10000; Shamo-
kin, 10000; Pottsville, 5000; total,
$4,000. This leaves 10000 men who
are permitted to continue at work to
prevent the mines from flooding.
Although it is the greatest suspen-

fields show that many of the leading

whom. "oases," 1t had an encouraging effect
Visitors to the shop invariably express sur
prise at the excellence OF the work "Of
course" the managing physician explains.
from the craftsmans point of view it would
seem foolish to expect good work from un-
skilled workers. These patients do not, how
ever, attempt the whole thing. but under care
ful teaching they soon master certain details
and thus have definite part and lot in the
game. Clever women learn to build pottery
In few weeks. and, with some one to correct
their mistakes and do the more difficult parts,
they are very profitably occupied. 1t takes a
long time to learn textile designing and to set
up a loom, but the novice can soon learn the
art of following pattern. Many of the pupils
stop with these rudimentary stages, but some
who have the right spirit and sufficient taste
and education keep on, making of themselves
skilled workers In the best sense of the world
1T is difficult to describe the charm Of work
In clay continued the physician. when one
has fairly mastered the simple technique he
may give full play to all his knowledge and
appreciation of form and color The weaving
has turned out to be comparatively simple and
certain parts of it may be done at once with
quick and tangible results. Basket making and
cabinet work have been introduced recently
and are proving very useful. These four crafts
have so completely fulfilled the requirements
that nothing else has been attempted, though a
number Of allied crafts. such work in metal
and leather, may time be added The
products of the patients are not trivial in any
sense, and therein lies q great hope for the
future, for any industry the output of which
IS cheap or trashy must surely come to naught
and must just as surely exert an unwholesome
effect all concerned.
when the shop had been proved practicable
for the mildly affected, the next step was to at
tract and hold the more serious cases of nervous
prostration at the same time eliminating the
usual consequences of exert1on. The fatigue
symptom, which is OF the most familiar ac-
compartments OF extreme nervousness, is often
brought about merely by the anticipation OF
any change or task To meet this difficulty a
certain system is observed at the shop.

INVALIDS CRAFT SHOP.
Where Nervous Wrecks Work Their
Way Back to Health.

Arts and crafts for the nervous wreck-there
is something very attractive in the idea, Pot
terry, weaving and basketry have for years been
recognized instruments of value in the manual
training of children and the rehabilitation of
street arabs, but no one seems to have thought
nerves or the cure Of insomnia till a Massa-
chusetts physician conceived the idea
Starting out with the hypothesis that some of
the simpler handicrafts, in themselves sug-
gestive of well ordered. peaceful mode OF
living could be utilized to Danish nervous dis
orders, he succeeded in establishing a handi-
craft shop school at Marblehead, where mind
and body work together intelligently and
actively for ct least portion of the day. and
SO, step by step, straighten out the tangles and
build up the foundation for healthier life
There is not a suggestion Of the sanatorium
about this school. The pupils-not patients-do
not all live in one house but scattered about
in private homes and in boarding houses. They
meet only on the common ground of work AL
though under medical and nursing direction and
resident physician-it is the group of skilled
craftsmen who claim the patients attention
chiefly and who direct the work in pottery,
weaving cabinet work and the like.
There many discouragements and trials"
said the head physician and founder of the
school, but the whole the thing runs smooth
ly, and for patient nurse and physician life is

much more bearable than It is under the ordi-
nary sanatorium conditions. We neglect no le-
gitimate methods of treatment using medicines
baths. etc. but We aim TO have the work the
main thing and to make the life as normal and
natural as possible. The reason why physical
rest is so often the only available treatment ia
that most nervous invalids work too hard or
play too hard. The plan here is to grade the
work carefully that fatigue does not appear
while strength is being gradually restored"
1t was the growing interest IN the arts and
crafts movement that suggested the plan of
having shop where nagvous invalids could
work side by side with normal students and
thereby gather from the contact hope and IN
spiration for the future. The school was
started about two years ago, with a complete
equipment for the manufacture OF pottery and
the production of variety of fabrics by means
or hand weaving. It took some time to get g.
