COAL MINERS
HAIL STRIKE
AS VACATION
Suspension of Operation
Hailed AS An Oppor-
tunity for Holiday At
ter Eight Years Hard
Work-Many Planning
On Returning To Eu-
rope for Visit

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 5.-Suspen-
sion of operations in the Anthracite
coal fields of Pennsylvania was hailed
by the average mine worker as an OPP
portunity for a vacation and most OF
them are planning thoroughly to en-
10Y the holiday For eight years the
colleries had been operated on almost
a full schedule, the war period being
marked by unusual activity. The
miners, therefore, leaders said today,
were glad that for a time, at least,
they would not have to answer the
early morning whistles, now silent.
Younger men and boys made idle by
the suspension have turned to ath-
letics as a means of breaking the
monotony. Baseball, handball and
quoits appear to be the favorite di-
versions. Baseball leagues are being
formed in the three districts and regu-
larly scheduled games are planned.
Other men are planning long fish
ing trips into the Pocohono mountains
when the trout season opens April Is.
Large parties are being formed to live
under canvas while in the woods.
The streets of the larger cities in
the hard coal region daily are crowd
ed with idle miners and business is
reported brisk. Theaters and motion
picture plays are playing to capacity
houses and the department stores re-
port an unusually large spring trade
Believing the suspension was newt
able, union leaders said, most of the
miners started weeks ago financially
to fortify themselves against it, and
that most of them are prepared for
at least four weeks idleness In some
places, chiefly heads of families, are
seeking work in other industries to
conserve their funds, the leaders said
In the Shamokin district hundreds
of the idle men are preparing gardens
and truck patches for spring planting.
Many are going into the gardening
projects on large scale, and in event
of protracted tie-up hope to realize
a substantial sum on their vegetables.
Some of the miners located on prop
erty owned by the coal companies, the
officials of which have indicated that
they will not interfere with the gar.
dening.
Large numbers of the $4,000 idle
miners have left for their old homes
in Europe which they have not visited
since the war.
The exodus is still on, but it was
said that 80 per cent of the men had
bought round trip steamer transporta-
ton and that they would hurry back
to the coal fields as soon as the sus-
pension was lifted. Practically all of
them are certified miners, a qualifica-
ton necessary to Anthracite cullers
and union leaders said they would
have no trouble in finding places on
their return.
Columbus, o., April 5.-Southern
Ohio coal operators will meet here
late today to formulate some answer
to the request of the House commit

ton was forthcoming from w. d. Nc
