STRIKE IN CAIN?
Officials of Union Say Full
Strength Not Reached.
Efforts to Bring More Complete
Tieup Are Continued.

Indianapolis, April 21.-with the
third week OF the nationwide sus-
pension OF work in the coal industry
ended today, officials of the U. NJ. w
A. at union headquarters here, de-
clared that the peak strength of the
strikers had not yet been reached al
tho the number of idle miners had
increased to 6s0. 900, a gain of 10000
during the week
Efforts to bring a more complete
tfeup of the Industry viii be continued
but Officials declined to make any
specific predictions yet; asserted that
they expected further gains and added
no break was Threatened within the
union ranks, which now include many
supporters in the unorganized fields.
Under the unions avowed program
calling for almost a complete suspen-
sion of coal production. any new de-
velopments forced by the union, may
be expected to come in the Pennsyl-
vania bitumfnous regions and also IN
West virginia. the strongholds of the
nonun4on operators. Almost from the
beginning of the strike. these two
states have provided the centers or
play the union has masSed Its ora
ganizers for the attack.
In a score of other states scattered
across the country no important de-
velopmentS have been reported since
operations were brought to stand
still April L In the Pennsylvania
districts a similar quiet has
been maintained. In the unionized
hituminOus fields President John L.
Lewis, the union leader, estimated
that 45O. 900 miners have Joined the
suspension, while in the anthracite
industry he said t55 900 men are at
fected. In addition ne declared that
reports of union field agents show at
least 10000 workers IL. the morgan
lied fields as participants In the walk
out.
In the opinion of coal men here. the
drive in the non-union fields is of
much importance in the settlement of
the strike. The unorganized mines in
central Pennsylvania are regarded as
a stra1 egic factor Il that the output
of these mines may go far toward
breaking the suspension in the cen
trail competitive field, comprising
western Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana.
Illinois. where more than one
third of the unions numerical
is centered.
Likewise, the coal men here assert
that the central Pennsylvania output
can similarly affect settlement of
miner-operators' disputes in eastern
coal fields.
HazeIton. Pa. April 21.-Rush of
alien anthracite coal miners TO their
native homes in Europe, either to stay
permanently or to visit the scenes of
their childhood, is now the heaviest
since the suspension began. according
to steamship agents. From rs TO 80
leave here daily. many of them being
pect to come back after an agreement
IS reached with the operators. They
figure THAI work will be resumed
about the middle OF the end of May.
