10000 MINERS DUE
TO STRIKE TO-DAY
Delaware and Hudson Walk
out Not Authorized by
Their Union.
10000 MORE AGGRIEvED
Trivial Disputes Lead to Sc.
rious Conditions in Hard
Coal Region.

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept with 10000
mine workers employed by the Delaware
and Hudson Company under orders to
go out on strike tomorrow morning. and
Delaware, LackawaAna- and Western EN-
ployees to the number of 10000 also dis
cussing a general strike. labor conditions
in the Northern anthracite field are very
much unsettled.
Neither the Delaware and Hudson
strike nor the one proposed for the
Lackawanna miners are authorized by
the union, the men having taken matters
they are tired of waiting for adjustment
of their grievances.
The proposed suspension of the Del
aware and Hudson men is over, petty
grievance that could easily be adjusted
by the colliery committees and the Del
aware, Lackawania and Western strike
threat arises from an equally small COM
plant.
At the Archibald colliery of the latter
company, where the men are now on
strike, il is claimed that men are being
laid Off without good reason. Men at
this colliery have appealed to the gen.
eral grievance committee to back them
up and a meeting of the committee has
been called for tomorrow night. u
Inasmuch as this committee is con-
trolled by the insurgent faction of the
United Mine Workers similar action to
that taken by the Delaware and Hudson
committee is expected, a general strike
being the easiest means of proving that
the district officers of the union are
not really in control of the men.

SOVIET GAINS IN GERMANY.
Political Issue Carried Into the
Trades Unions.

BERLIN, Sept. THE struggle be-
tween the Independent and Majority
Socialists has been carried into the
ranks of the German trade unionists.
and Germany's once Incompatible or
ganization OF labor declarations, which
for discipline and unity has been likened
to the German army. has been made the
battle-ground of politics, which hereto
fore has been excluded from the trade
unions.
The latest development is the action
taken by the Wood Workers Union,
which recently adopted resolution to
Gust Karl Legien, head of the Commits
sion of Labor Federations and member
OF the Assembly. The Independents
plan is to replace all union members
belonging to scheidemann's party and
permeate the unions with the So~ie. sys-
tenn. This campaign is viewed with the
gravest apprehension because, although
the leaders OF the Scheldemann party
are ready to take up cudgels, they are
aware that they are pitted against a
group OF crafty political strategists in
Haase's faction.

Hungarians Climb 10000 Feet
Three Lose Lives.

GENEVA, Sept. Five Hungarian SOL
diers. prisoners OF war who escaped
from Italy, recently entered Switzerland
across the mountain pass "Aiguilles
vertes," more than 10000 feet high.
They descended the Wonadan glacier,
where they suffered terrible experiences.
The men were hungry and frozen and
were compelled TO slip and slide down
precipices, as they were wearing boots
without nails. They became lost among
the pinnacles and peaks.
One of the Hungarians fell into a
crevice and was killed. Another, who
was injured, managed to crawl into the
village of Bourg, from which place
twelve Alpineists and guides set out to
search for the other three men. One was
discovered half frozen, but no trace could
be found of the other two. These men
are believed to have lost their lives, but
the search for them Is continuing. The
Hungarians said that they had never
climbed mountains before. They de-
olared their only idea was to walk
northwards toward liberty.
