Davis paid the costs. Xo attempts were made by any of the Lackawanna opcrtors yesterday to do anv mining. Their present policy W to simply sit by and nwalt developments. All declar", howevei, that If any men come nround to go to woik tht'.v will he supplied with place. The Idea of Importing men to lake tho strlkeis' place has not a jet been discussed at any considerable length. The operators seem to think that the condition of affairs in the lower district will, In the course of a few days, muse the strike to go to pieces theie. and that when this happens, the men of this region will leturn to woik In a bodv. Base of Opinion. They base their opinion on adt Ices fiom the operators of the lower dis tricts. It was stated at Superintend ent Looml' office that a telephone message had been lecelved fiom the Philadelphia and Heading officials jesterday aftprnoon ntatlng that theie wns no truth In the minor of a gen eral tie-up In that .'ompany' mine. Two places that weie worked shoit hiinded on Monday had been shut down and all tho other places were bfin, operated with stionger forces than on Mondav. Piesldent T. It. W-itUlnx. of the Temple lion company, Mild he had talked with numerous operators In the lower distilcts during the day, and the uniform statement of yesterday's con ditions was that while a few collleiles that were, badly crlppM tho day be foie had been added to the list of Idle places, tha collleiles that were work ing were invariably operating with laigely Inci eased forces, In most cases with a full complement of old employes. The same Information had come to f C. Rose, superintendent of the min ing depat tment of the Delaware and Hudson, and Alexander Hryden, su perintendent of the Pennsylvania Coal company, reported the Ewen and Xo. 11, at Tnkennan, still at work despite the concentrated energy of the mine workeis of the district to throw them Idle. In Schuylkill County. Infouuation has also come lo the operators, they say, to the effect that the Schuylkill miners, who refuse to go out because, as they claim, they have no grievances, will continue to lefuse to go out, no matter how much it may be aigued to them that It I their duty to do ho out of sympa thy. Thev are saying, so the opera tois' informants declare, that they owe nothing to the Lackawanna mln- eis, except n-taliatlon for the action of the Lackawanna men at the time of the Schuylkill strike in 1&S8. when Le high Valley cars were taken Into the Lackawanna region even as far as the Kdgerton, at Aichbald, and loaded w Ith coal to fill the orders secured by the opeiatois whose men were on strike. The Mine Workers' ofllcers. on tln othet hand, claim, with posltlveness, that the lanks of the strlkeis In tho lower districts weie expanded by the addition of teveu thousand lectuits in the Ila'-teton and Shamokln and Schuylkill districts yesteiday, and that befoie manv days are past the entire lower region will be tied up com pletely. Oiganlzer Dileher fcald last night that he had been in communication with President Mitchell during thp evening, and was told that eveiythlng was sat isfactory In that teriltory. 1I com municated back to President Mitchell that the I'"lrt district t!e-up was now absolutely complet", the Mocnnoriun collieiy at Phlckshlnnny and the two mines of the Pennsylvania Coal com pany at Inkcrman Inning lietn closed tlown during the day. This latter news was conveyed to the local head quarleis by District President Nichols. The conflicting utoiies of the condi tions existing In the lower legions Is causing the mlneis mudi woniment. A committee was sent yesterday by the memheis of local unions to make Investigation and lepot't the ease as they actually find It to be. They im instiueted to visit the collleiles In person, wait on op-'ratois. consult newspaper coi iespon.Lnts, and get the statements of the Mine Woikeis' offi cers. When they letuin they oie ex pected to have exact ilgures and he In ii position to advise their brother membeis as to what the prospect leally ni'e.
