Shamokln, Pa., Sept. IS. The tie-up of the mines In this section of tho an thracite coal region Is even more com plete than It wns yesterday. Fewer men repotted for work nnd tho breakers could not hav J been operated If the companies had so desired. It Is a conservative estimate to ay that there are now 12,000 men out on strike In this region. Everything was quiet today, with the exception of a few personal squabbles and a slight sensation at Mt. Carmel this morning brought on by some mischievous) breaker boys. A train arrived here at nn early hour thlH morning from the west and proceeded through the regions worked by the Mineral and Union Coal com panies, dropping special deputies at every station as they passed Soma three hundred were thur quietly In troduced before the whistles blew to awaken the men. In this Immediate neighborhood not a wheel Is revolv ing. Several of the operators have ordered thler mules to be hauled out of the mines and have discharged even the few men who were willing to work. In tho north of Mt. Carmel a few mines sent to the surface coal that still remained In the gangways, but the breakers were for the mnt part still. The Franklin mine, at Trevor ton, and the Locust Gap at the place of that name, were the only two In this region that have been running at full blast and it Is reported that many of their men will go out tomor-iow.

Arthur, of tho Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, said today' he did not think It likely the engineers would refuse to haul anthracite coal mined by non-union miners. "The strike, It It continues, will un doubtedly soon result In many railroad men being thrown out of employment," said Mr. Arthur. "This will, of course, lead to dissatisfaction. Under such conditions the engineers might become involved In a strike, but It Is not probable." Grand Master Morrlssey, of tho Brotherhood of Trainmen, Is nt pres ent In Denver. Secretary King, of tho Brotherhood, said today that, so far as ho knew, no official action had been taken by his organization looking tow ard the trainmen refusing to haul non union mined anthracite coal.

The anthra cite coal operators need expect no aid from the bituminous operators In the struggle against their miners. At n recent meeting the operators of this district decided not to meddle in the troubles of the eastern district. They are having plain sailing at present, and do not desire to court trouble. Thoy have all the orders they can fill at present, and some are behind be cause of lack of cars during the sum mer.

Yesterdav was another "banner day" In The Tribune's Educational Contest. It surpassed the previous "high water mark" by a good margin, and the number of points turned In by the contestants was very large. Miss Jen nie Myers, of Lake Ariel, nlone con tributed 27 points and David Birtley, of Providence, was a close second with 21, followed by Charles Rodri guez with 22. Besides the splendid showing made by these three, there v-ore five other contestants who showed that they had begun to feel the enthusiasm connected with nn ap proach upon tho home-stretch, nnd now that the race Is so nearly over they are striving with "might and main" to be well In front when they come sweeping up under the wire. Only ten more dnys remain to get re sults. The closing days of the con test are almost here, and points must be sought for nnd obtained ,ln as great numbers as possible to w In a way Into the ranks ot the successful. There will be no time to relax efforts from now on, and the ones who win can not count on anything but hard work to pull them through. This Is not a chance to demonstrate your luck or your popularity only personal per severance and constant effort will avail. One point may make a vhugo difference In the value of the special reward a contestant secures, and If he by a little extra effort could get tnat point and doesn't, why, then, who will be to blame? The changes made In the standing this morning are numerous, but that is becoming quite the custom these days. David V. Birtley started In upon his third century and is now not far from Rodcrlguez for first place, lie Is S." tallies away from Callahan In third position, but the latter Is en deavoring to recover his lost ground and the three lenders will make a very pretty fight for fifth place. Arthur Kemmerer, of Factoryvllle, In fourth plnce, may be tho dark horse In tho ice. for he Is coming along steadily day by day and hns his eye on a higher position. David C. Spencer, who has hold fifth place since Labor Day, Is this morning compelled to surrender II to Miss Jennlo Myers, of Lake Ariel, who came up with a rush from eleventh place Monday to sixth, and who now takes the fifth place, only two points behind Mr. Kemmerer. Mr. Spencer drops back Into sixth place, but Informs The Tribune that be expects to bo back In his old posi tion soon. Eugene Boland and Harry Reese ar" close behind, however, and it Is a very pretty race between them. Miss Fannie E. Williams supplants Miss Gruce Slmrell In ninth place, the latter dropping back to tenth. For eleventh place. Sidney W.
