FIRST BLOODSHED Civil Engineer Shot By Striking Miner at Moosic. Scranton, Pa. April 3.—The first bloodshed of the anthracite strike of 1906 occurred at Moosic, where John Shepherd, civil engineer at Consoli- dated colliery of the Pennsylvania Coal company, an Erie working, was shot in the hip by Anthony Coplosk, a striking miner. There is a stockade about the breaker, and guards are patrolling in- side. Coplosk had some words with one of the guards, and Silas Randall, gon of the outside foreman of the lat- ter, came towards the striker in a threatening manner. Coplosk drew a revolver and fired at Randall. The bullet struck Shepherd, who was standing by. The wound is not se- rious. The man who did the shooting escaped. As was expected, there was practi- cally no mining of coal at any colliery in the Lackawanna region, except at the one non-union mine of the whole anthracite region, the Oxford colliery of the People’s Coal company. The Erie worked seven washeries; the Lackawanna five, and the other companies one or two apiece. The washeries worked full-handed, or near 1y so. “We are going to have a strike,” sald the superintendent of one of the largest operating companies in the en- tire region. “It will be even more bit- terly contested than was the strike of 1903, and it will last just as long, in my opinion. 1 do not think that any- thing whatever will result from the conference to be held in New York. That is my firm conviction.” WILKES-BARRE REGION QUIET Men Think Agreement Will Be Reached, But Operators Are Gloonry. ~ Wilkes-Barre, Pa., April 3.—In ac cordance with the order issued by President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, and the district presidents, not a colliery in the Wyoming Valley is in operation. The suspension is general, and no effort has been made to operate any of the large collieries. The Pettebone washery of the Lacka- wanna company near here was oper- ated with a reduced force, with no in- terference. Outside of this, the strike order was generally observed. The conditions in this city, Ply- mouth, Nanticoke and Pittston were extremely quiet, no outbreaks being reported from any of these places. The number of men affected by the suspension in this city will reach 16,000. AP ———— ~—Bay seed corn on the ear, when i¢ can be obtained in that way. Sr A WEEK'S NEWS CONDENSED. Wednesday, March 28.
