THIS REGION
EXPERIENCES A
TOTAL TIE-UP
Concluded from Page 1
a few colUetles at nil costs, but some
thing Intervened between Saturday
anil Mondny to chanrrp their plans.
The advices of the likely happening
of the day In the loxviv districts. It Is
understood, was at the bottom of their
change of plant. The operators of this
region seem bent now on playing a
quiet, waiting game, trusting to the
events In the regions below the
Wilkes-Ham- mountains to settle the
stilke question to their satisfaction.
Different Views.
These conditions are viewed eiy dlf
feiently by the contending sides. The
operators say that In the legions be
low the Wllkes-llnrre mountains, and
In various places In the upper Luzerne
district, the strike order was not
obeyed, and that In the I'ottsv llle and
Shamoklu region and it latge portion
of the Hazleton region sc.iici-ly a mine
Isldle.
When the miners of this legion come
tel understand this, the opeiatois aigtie,
the great mass if men who went out
because they wete assuied the tie-up
would be complete throughout the en
tire anthracite belt, will hesitate to
continue a light that tlie'lt leudeis
themselves admitted would be hope
less, when they told of the absolute
necessity of the stilke being a general
one.
The Mine Wot Iters' olllcers scout the
Idea of the strike being unsuccessfully
Inaugurated lit the lower districts and
unreseivedly declare that tin press
reports of luigo nunibeis of collieries
being at woik are untitle. Oiganlzer
Ditcher said last night that he had rp.
eclved official figures from the stilke
managers of all thtee districts and
that it was shown that 133,000 of the
143,000 men were out. He tecelxed .1
short message from Piesident Mitchell
at 10 o'clock, saying that everything
so far was satisfactory.
No one expects that every man Is
going out on strike the first day, Mr.
Ditcher said. In a few days the lower
districts will be tied up as tight as 1
the? Lackawanna district, he prophe
sied. nxecutlvo Committeemen Heniy Col
lins, of Caiuond.ile, and John Kearney,
of Arehbald, weie nt the heademai tis
In the af let noon, and were kept busy
answeilng the anxious fiuetJes i eg.it d
Ing the lower dlstilets. They claimed
that all the mines of Lackawanna and
all of Luzeme, include in District No.
1. were tied up tight, with the excep
Hon of a couple of PennsyU unl.i Coal
company collieries at Inkeimun and
tome few openings at Shickshinny.
The Inkerman collieries, it was i ex
ported, were gradually losing men
each hour, and would not be able to
open up this morning. They weie con
fident of being able to close the Shick
shinny colUetles today or, at the least,
tomoi row .
Their Contention.
To a Tribune reporter Messrs. Col
lins and Kearney pointed out that this
district, which Is admittedly tied up,
contains 75,000 miners, or 50 per cent,
of the whole force of the entire region.
If only those weie out, they argued,
the stilke could be said to be success
fully Inaugutated.
When the miners of the lower dis
tricts hear of the unanimous action
of their bretluen of the Flist dlstilct,
the committeemen confhnded, they will
hasten to place their dlstilct on the
same footing. Once the three districts
aie tied up, victory Is assuied, they
averred.
The miners from all the subutbs were
In the central city In laige numbers
during the afternoon and the istrlke
headquarters on Lackawanna avenue
were crowded till late at night with
anxious seekers for the latest from
"down below." This morning's Asso
ciated Press dispatches, printed exclu
sively In The Tribune, will be eagerly
devoured by the men of this teglon.
Shaft SInkeis Quit.
Eleven men employed In sinking a
shaft to attack the the In the old
"Cot It and Bottle" workings under the
Jetsey Central yard, ye.steid.iy morn
ing quit work when some one passing
along the Linden stteet bridge yelled
something that they consoles ed oppio
brlous. The contractor pleaded and
leasoned and almost swore, but It was
In vain. They didn't propose to tun
the ilsk of being called that name
again. In distress the contt actor pie
senttd himself to the sttlke headquar
teis and laid the case befoie Organizer
Ditcher. He received a note addressed
to the men advising that they might
continue at work.

ple's Coal company and paid by the
day for cleaning up and tepalrlng th
old Off old shaft, which the People's
company soon expects to operate, tie
cllneel to work yesterday. In fact,
some of them quit Saturday.
All the culm dumps were attacked

There will be a parade and mass

stated and 110 new members enrolled.
Organizer Dllcher made the state
ment last night that of the 149,000 men
employed hi the anthracite coal mines
132,000 were on strike yesterday.
Swearing in Officers.
Chief of Police Robllng yesterday
afternoon swore In ten men as special
ofllcers, who will bo utilized around
the collleilcs and washcries as watch
men. A large number of men working at
tho Spencer mines In Dunmore and
the Nay Aug mine, owned by the
Pennsylvania Coal company, left the
city by the 10.31 train on the Delaware
and Hudson rallrond last night, and
nro now on the road to Anthony,
llrltlsh Columbia, wheie they will
work In a mine owned by C, W. Wil
son, of Pittsburg, and where James
Wilson, formeily foromnn of No. t
shaft In Dunmore, Is now employed
In a si ml hit capacity. Pome time ago
these men determined that In case of
ti strike thry would leive the city, nnd
yesterday morning, John Newton, one
of tholr number lecalved n letter from
Foreman Wllt-on. nnd this decided
them to 170 to llrltlsh Columbia. They
loft last night for Wllkes-Harre,
whence they go to Iluffalo. N. Y., then
to Hamilton, Ont., and then to An
thony, their terminal point.
MASS MEETING IN
THE AFTERNOON
A conservative estimate of the num
ber of mine workers who attended
the mns.s meeting In thp open flelel
near the Cayuga mine yesterday af
ternoon can bo placed tit about 4,000,
anil In addition to Hint number there
weie present many women and work
eis In other blanches of trade, who
came to llst'n to the nddtesf.es de
livered by Timothy D. Hayes and Na
tional Organizer I'ledetlck Dllcher.
The spctacle was dramatic The
men were seated comfortably anil
quletlly on the hillside, while the
speakeis on a raised platfotm at the
base of the hill, had p colliery for n
1 nckgiouuii. Kvery now and then u
trnln would thund,r nlong on the
Delnwnie, Laiknwantia and Western
load, Just above.
It Is doubtful It, during all the time
leading up to the stilke, that so much
Interest was manifested In a mass
meeting as that dlsnl.tjrd yesterday
afternoon.
Mr. Hayes preceded "Little Freddie"
In addressing the crowd. He hpld the
attention of the mpn for ome time.
Among other things he nld the men
ate willing nnd cnpali'e of r-itrylng
on their own business w ithotlt any In
tel feienco from outsld Inllueives, and
in Justlcp to the United Mine Workers
and their leaders, he asked that other
people mind their own business.
"We are Intelligent enoufjli to tran
sact our own business nnd no one
knows our condition butter than our
selves, nnd we should be allowed to
peaceably settle our differences
nmong out. selves. If this Is clone, the
strike question will lie settled In a
shott time," he declared. Continuing,
he slid:
Time to Perpate.
There Is an old having, "In time nl pen e. pie
pare tor war." and I till ou, ,im IrlcneN, if we
luil prepared for war in lime of pcaie llnre
would not hue been a stilke dicl.md In th"
anthiacile region on pt. 17. II we Ind be.-u
organized tdx months ago as wo are todn there
would have been no strike deeliied 'Hie npira
tois would then have known our stietieclh and
conceded to us our dcmaniN.
Hut the did not conceive ol the possibility
ol such a gt neral tie up aa now- pievilN Wp
hold vou men. a well as the operatoi. iepun
ible for tids strike, because von hive no! been
sulhciently organised, and I um glad in know
that the people have nt hit nallred the neces
sity ol unification in this mattei
Voti men know why the conditions which now
csist do exist. Will ou hied anv inrluene lo
persuade ou from the ionise Jim have nlcn"
Tho ipiesllons of religion and polities hum be
kept out of this fight and I caution vou neirr
to allow them to intluence vou Iteim mber that,
united we stand, divided we fall.
There was a time when It wis an honor for a
man to be a miner. Twenty ear ago Ihe con
ditions were much dlffeiuit that what Ihev are
today. At that time no sire lcs than chestnut
coal was sent to the niaiket. but now there ate
several sizes smaller than that. I understand
that in Philadelphia the piiee ol mil has in
creased from $3 to fS a ton.
The operators sav the cost of production has
iniieascil We know whether tint is Irue or not
ju-t as well as tin do, but has nut the cot of
living increased also, and lias the wages of the
miner been incieued?
The Philadelphia and Heading rtailinad oiu
panv has been selling puwel.r at 1 10 a keg for
the last thliteen veurs, nnd hive been coinpl.vliig
with the semi monthly uv law ever since it was
put In force. Are we asking too much when we
ask for llie-e conditions, which rightfully and
lawfully belong to us? N'o, mv friends, all we
want is the icuporatlons to eomplj with the
law, then we will get our pav eveiv two weeks

Docking System.
Hefeiilng to the docking system, Mr.
Hnes said that no clocking boss has
a tight under the existing contiacts
I to dock a car of coal unless it has
mote than ".00 pounds of ditt and
culm In It, and less than six Inches of
topping at the breaker. "I hae
loaded cats with less than fifty pounds
of dltt In them and over K Inches of
topping," he said, "and yet I have
been docked."
He gave as the reason for the exist
ence of this injustice that It Is be.
cause th' men did not know the con
ditions villi h they have allowed to
exist In conclusion, Mr. Hayes spoke

Organizer Dllcher was then Ititto
ducer, and he was accorded a heaity
welcome by the assemblage. He began
his remarks by saying that he was
very much pleased to sec so many mill
ets nnd mine laborers at the meeting.
"1 desire to say emphatically," he con
tinued, "that District No. 1 has TB.COO

Theie wete several nipmbeis who x
piessed theimelves n opposing the
xiaduct oidlnance hut they did not
ote when thp motion to adopt the
t psolutlon was put.
The point was raised eailv In the
discussion that the plan of building the
viaduct without knowing what h.
damages ate to be. and whether the
city will be able to pay them, was all
wtong. Colonel F. L. Hitchcock, the
chairman of thp committee which In
ttoduccd the tesolutlon. said that th"
only way of getting n xiaduct was to
accept the offer of the t eunpanlos nnd
build It Inline dKilelx "The danriyp
will then becieated and must be paid,"
silel he
AN'OTiinn vmw of it.
Colonel iiporgi' Sanderson took Issue
with this view. "The city has got to
be considered," said he. "Suppose the
damages amounted to $20.000 or J'100.
000. how do we know the city can meet
them. This may be a shatp way of
getting this Improvement, Uut If we go
at this thing willy-nilly, who Is going
to glial d the Inleiests of the general
city?"
Colonel Hitchcock said In leply that
there was a gi eater consideration than
money, and that that was the groat
danger to human life. He laised the
new point that the ten feet on each
side of the stieet now used as side
xvalks would go to the piopptty own
ers and would tend to gieatly lessen
tiny damages.
Mr. Keller said the oidlnance didn't
pioxlde foi that, nnd then gave his
leasons for opposing the present plan
substantially as he did In council last
Thursday night. "We shouldn't allow
the Sci anion P.nllway companv to con
ttibutp one cent tow aids the erection
of this stiueture," said he. "If we ac
cept this otfer we know very well that
we shall hear nothing else In councils
for yeais but the liberality ol" the
stieet lallway company, when we In
troduce any measuie providing for a
tux upon that coiporatlon."
Mr. Dunning said that the oidlnance
could be amended in council to pin
vide for the giving of the ten feet on
both sides of the stieet to the prop
el ty owneis, nnd this suggestion
piompted Common Councilman H. K.
Paine, who was piesent, to Jnake u few
lemaiks.
Mr. Paine said he seilously d ubted
us to w hether any amendments could
be adopted. "111111 you been piesent
last Thursday night." said he, "and
seen the way they anted to rush the
thing tlnough xou wouldn't be very
hopeful of getting any amendments
considered. The copies of the otdin
nni'e xvere on our desks only fifteen
minutes befoie we voted on it, and
they wanted us to pass It on two read
ings. The dispeiiseis of the wherewith
for both companies wete right on the
spot to see that enough votes weie se
emed." MOTION CARItir.D.
