BIG WASHERY ONCE MORE UNDER WAY Concluded from lMge 1.1 union is not to bo taken ns an indi cation of de.pcrntlou or anything ap proaching It. the strikers declare. It Is simply n concussion made out of ex treme fairness and sincere solicitation for the general good, they say, and, If not taken advantage of In due time will, In all probability, be withdrawn and substituted therefor will be nn ultimatum to the efTeet that the oper ators will have to deal with the Mine Workers' union direct. With both sides so confident and each refusing to believe that the other Is making, or can make, any decided gains, nnd with not the semblance of ti common ground on which they enn meet to endeavor to amicably adjust their differences, the prospects for a prolonged struggle, Just at this time, are, regretably, very promising. EVENTS OF THE DAY IN THIS LOCALITY All four of the Delaware, I.arka wnnna and Western washerles, the Diamond, Oxford, Uellevue and Hamp ton, .were In operation yesterday. The Hampton had been shut down since 'the llrst day of the strike. The Uellevue, which was badly crippled Monday, by reason of the strikers' success In turning back a crowd ot Italian lnborers from Dunmore, was working full handed yesterday. Twenty-two men from the Hunker Hill region, under guard of six armed watchmen, wete bi ought to the wash ery at davbreak In a caboose and engine, and leturned to their homes In tho same manner at night. There was no attempt to molest Hum, although a good-sized crowd was gathered In the vicinity of the mine and had they attempted to come afoot and unguard ed, as they did the day before, the chances are they would have been turned back. This war the only thing even scenting of trouble that was re ported, Hltumlnous coal continues to come In dally In small quantities. A car load was tecelved at .Sey bolt's mill yesterday, and nufh attention was at tracted by the men bhovclllug the "strange stuff In the coal bins, which never before had hold anything but anthracite. Another carload, consigned to the Scranton Railway company, reached here over tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western road, and was switched on one of the sidings near the Lacka wanna nvenue station. It will be hauled in wagons to the power plant today nnd given a trial In the fur naces. If it proves satisfactory, the company will substitute It for the tin washed culm, which it Is now forced to rely upon for steam power. The trolley company uses thirty tons ot coal p. day. As yet, the Gibbons &.t'o. drift In South Scranton has not resumed, but will likely do so In a day or two. The company closed down voluntarily last Thursday to place itself In a position to negotiate with the Mine "Workers' executive board, this being one of the conditions the board insisted upon be fore It would consider any proposi tion from the company. Now the empany Is finding dilllculty In start ing up again. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company has completed Its pay rolls for the mines nnd will be gin to pay the men In the course of a day or two unless there Is a dellulfe indication that the strike will soon be discontinued. In line with his belief that the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western men. for the most patt, are striking simply because they were forced to by the agitators. Superintendent Loomls gave orders to the accountants not to deduct the month's rental from the wages of miners occupying com pany houses. The idea of compelling strikers to vacate company houses had never entered his head, Mr. Loomls said, until a reporter asked hlni If the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company Intended to follow the exam ple of some operators of the lower districts, who resorted to this mean3 of helping nlong their light. The ac tion of Mr. Loomls In giving the min ers credit on their rent Is an answer as to how his company will comport itself In this matter. District President Nichols last night posted at headquarters the following epitome of u report received by tele phone at 9 o'clock from President Mitchell, at Unvtleton: "Mines ceased In District No. 7 to day: Derringer, Tomhleken, Uckley and Cowan. .N'on-unlon men on com mittee to see Markle. Condition of strike Inipiovlng. District No. !) pro gressing very rapidly. Mlnersvllle will cease tomorrow." AS TO DISPENSING OF STRIKE RELIEF Local officers of the Tulted Mine Workers can give no definite Informa tion as to the matter of distributing the relief the strikers have been led to expect will be forthcoming from the union. Secretary Dempsey, when questioned in tills regard last night, said Presi dent, Mitchell boil the whole thing thor oughly planned, but as yet hj3 not fecn lit to make It public. No relief Is wanted by tho slrlkurs now, Mi. Demp sey said, and It will be some time be fore they will want it. When it is needed, however, it will be given, he said. Personally, lie thought that no at tempt would bo mndu to distribute "strike wager." Such a tiling is hard ly to be thought of in a general strike. The union has no prescribed rules, us far as Mr. Dempsey knew, governing this matter, such ns have the carpen ters, who pay a dollar a day 'to all men on 3trlke, after tho first week of the strike. This rule of the carpenters' or ganization would not be effective, how ever, Mr. Dempsey claimed, In a gen eral strike. In a local strlko such a thing Is practicable, but could not bo attempted In a general strike. It is not unlikely that tho scheme of co-operative stores nnd bakeries, out lined by Organizer Dllcher In ono of his recent addresses, will' bo put into effect. These establishments will be maintained by the reserve fund ot the United Mine Workers' national organ ization, by a weekly per capita tax on the members of the union in nil parts of the country and the contributions thut will come, or nt least that have been promised by other labor organ izations. Yesterday's dispatches told of an an nouncement by President Mitchell tn the effect that the Illinois United Mine Workers had notified him that the S27f.,000 In their treasury was at his dlsposul for carrying on tho light In the Pennsylvania anthracite teglnn, and that their S.'.OOO members were willing to be taxed $1 each por week to see the fight to a finish. STATEMENT FROM SUPT. E. E. LOOMIS In response to a tequcst for a state ment of tho operators' side of the strike question, the following has been given out by K. K. Loomls, superintendent of the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western company's mining depart ment: No fair rnnsldrratlon ol the present trouble In the ioal fields can be Rlim without first eon. sideline the relationship between the anthracite and bituminous minim; tn lions of America. The conditions under ivlilili these two classes of coal are mined aie In no way Identical, and the capi tal Imt'sttncnt teinilrid produce a ton ot an llirneltr Is many times urcater than Is necessary to produce a ton of bituminous coal. l'or yeais the opcratom of tlie anllirncllc and blulumiiious coal fields have been flajhtimc com mercially (or the extrusion of the uie of their product. It Is evident, therefore, that two busi ness which ore so diiectly antagonistic, com mercially, cannot be operated under sn afhlla Hon of their -mplo.ies, for It must be apparent that whatcirr opriales to decicase or slop the (induction of bituminous coal must be udvan tJireous to the pioducei of anthracite coal, or lice lersa. The piesent truoblc In the anthracite coal re gion is the direct tesnlt of organization perfect ed mid carried out by ollirlals of the I'liited Mine W inkers of America, tiho.e Interest, up to this time, has always been tilth the pioductlon of bi tuminous coal. The financial repoit of Ihe Knitcd Mine Woikers of America for tlie month ot July (jives a list of forty-tlx organizers and emplojes who are paid on an atcrage of $ll.Cfl per month, account of salary and expenses. These men, from Presi dent John Mitchell down through the list, with but two or three exceptions, are men ulioae priictlc.il knowledge of coil mining has been rot.flned to tlu' bituminous district. Ilchlnd all the alleged grievances of the miners stand out only two leal demands: l"irt-The reccKnltlon of the fulled Mine iVnikcM of Amcilca ns nn organisation. Second All Increase In the yearly earnings of employes in and about the anthracite mines. In regard trt recognition: The I'liiled Mine tiorkeis, In addition to be being officered and aiHIijt-il ttith the anthracite operators' competi tors, lute shown themseltes thoioiighly Irre sponsible, and hive taken a position that all miners shall icpudl.ite their obligations tu cm ploy era who aie dealing honestly and fairly with (hem, simply for the purpose of crippling a whole iniliiitiy and mining tlie good ns well as the bad engaged in it, and, in the Markle case, some ilats since, tlie labor leaden imlsted that Ihe miners mustVpudlate a contract they had with their employers and gu on strike eten If their demands wer' complied with. Under these ilr riimstuticcs there ought to be no question In the minds of the public why the .inthiaclte operators c-ann' t, under any circumstances, recognize a union of lids character. An increase in yeaily earnings ran be brought about In two ways: 1'irst An increase in the rate to lie paid, which operators claim the conditions it ill not wanant. A careful compilation of statistics indicates that tlie lnlneis and laboiun in the anthracite legions arc being paid, gencially speaking, a fair wage for u fair da's work. In the Hellenic mine (one of the first to go out on stilke), the August pa -rolls show an aieragc monthly earning for the miners of lffi7.3.'i, after all deductions, ac count, powder, oil, etc., or an ateragc of $.1.02 per da.ts worked, while the laborei averaged .fl.'iS per day, and a carefully compiled state ment of all the lklawaie, Lackawanna and West ern mines shows that the ateiage daily net wage of tlie inincis lor the year lS'ii) i;as 2.70 for ten boms work, and Hie minrrs' laborers, $1.8.1. While this wage Is li.ueil on a working day of tin hours. It is u well known fact that the mineis and in'ide laborers do not actually woilc that number nf lioins; eight hums is u leiy lib eral estimate of Ihe time actually wolked. In shoit, it would seem et blent from the above that tlie wages piid mineis nnd laborers in Hie anthiacile fields compaie very favoiably with thoe pihl any woiker in the same general class ol labor. Flegaiding the cry of inhumanity in tlie em ployment of bois In tlie anthracite coal districts then' .lie the facts: Nn boy is employed except upon the written statement of bis parents 1 hat lie Is ahote 12 tears of age, at tvhidi the laws of the slate ot IViins.tlvanlj penult him to become a tvutker out side of tlie minea. To obtain for him a position Inside the mines as mule dritcr, the first step on the road to piomotlon, bis parents must fire sent a ceitillcate to tlie effect that he Is over tlie age of 14 jcars. These bos nil cam 2u per cent, mole for the days they woik than bo.ts of the ftiiiit- age in the gineial Held of employment Ihiotighout tlie couutiy. An increase in the mini' woikeis' income mut come bum an Increase in the number of dais woil.ed. Nothing which Hie I'liited Mine tVoik cis bate jet proposed will hate a tendency to Increase the nuinbir of days woil.ed. On the other hand, the conditions which they hate biougtlt about ate tending daily to decrease the it-ui king ili.vs for Ihe anthracite miners. Th- ciei.ilor, on the other hand, hate been most peisislcnt In their eftoils to cnlaige their market, and the production of amliraute coil Ins steadily Increased duilng the past year; thousand of great industrial concerns hate been Induced to bum aiithiailte coal, but many of thou- Industrial plants are now, on account nt the strike brought tin by the I'liiled Mine Work ers, being obliged to u-iurn to ihe use of bitu minous coal.

"Between freeultig In cold rooms and breathing in black smoke, the board of health may have to take Its choice," said President of th Hoard Michael C Murphy yesterday. "Perhaps it will have to permit the use of bituminous coal In factories that have smoke continuing chimneys, The city's Industries cannot he per mitted to suffer. The health of too many percons Is absolutely dependent upon that." William L, Sweet. snl--fi agent of the Clearfield Bituminous Coal corpoiutlon, said: , "Bituminous coal Is already used In fnetorlts that haye the latest modern nppllanres for the consump tion ot smoke. Tho strike of the an thracite miners has nlready Increased the price of bituminous coal." COAL PRICES SINCE STRIKE, Red Pink Whlto Ash. Ash. Ash.

From towns and cities far and near, theie haB been a continuous Inquiry and demand for coal, from which It is apparent that many dealers have con tinued procrastinating until the last moment and then discovered that the source of supply was closed. The gen eral advance which was put Into effect to deter the trade from ordering coal had the contrary effect and thousands of dealers wanted coal and wanted It In a hurry. It is evident that the giav Ity of the situation Is not fully appre ciated. There are some IWO.000 tons of anthracite on the docks in Chicago which Is normal for this time of tho year, the heavier receipts being ordin arily between October 1 and the close of navigation. Receipts of coal from now on by lake or rail will be nominal, or none at all, for the remainder of the season, providing the strike remains unsettled. This will apply to the upper and lower lake region generally. The current circular Is ii at wholesale for the domestic sizes and f! at letall, with prospects of a further advance shortly. Bituminous coal Is now quite active nnd prlce3 have responded to the Impetus Imparted by the quick ened demand, being much firmer on nearly all kinds. The strike situation In the anthracite districts has toned up the market wonderfully all through the west and on eastern coals there have been some advances, with further rises promised for the near future. Black Diamond. Both the strikers and the operators are confident and neither has yet shown a disposition to end the trouble. The Mine Workers claim that there were great accessions to their ranks yesterday, but they give no exact fig ures. The opeiators, through their mine superintendents, allege that there were more men at work yesterday at the collieries which have kept In oper ation than on any day since tho be ginning of the strike. They, too, fur nish no figures. Lattlmer, which the Mine Workeis say they will tie up this week, was at work, although a num ber of men did not report for dutv. Kckley, also, showed a falling off. Sandy Ilun was closed down altogether and Hazle Brook was badly crippled, the Freeland and the Hazleton men employed there remaining sit homo. There were gains at Cranberry to the ranks of the working men and also at Jeddo, according to the statements of the olflclals at these places. Harwood, which has been practically idle, was kept in operation, although very light handed. An attempt will be made this morning to start up the Larson wash ery at Honey Brook, which has been idle for the lat week. Hazleton Plain Speaker. Attorney L. 1'. Wedenmn was asked yesterday as to how many responses he had received to his general Invitation the public to unite through him. In tiemindlng of the operators that they arbitrate the strike differences. "NHry a one," said Mr. Wedemun, with a dis gusted look on his face. "Some miner roasted my proposition through the newspapers, but further than this It seems to have attracted no very seri ous attention. I find myself In the po sition once occupied by the late It. T. Black. He was on his way to rjreen wood, and encountered a man beating his wife. He interfered and proceed?d to handle the wife beater rather rough ly, when th" rescued woman seized him from behind, dragged him to the ground and held him while the hus band klckji' the studln' out of nlm, as the boys say. I have taken a vow very similar to the one Mr. Black took that day." John Murrln, operator of an inde pendent colliery nt Carbondale, Is reg istered at the Valley hotel. Air. Murrln has granted all the concessions asked by his men, and he was here to confer with President Mitchell for securing the pilvllege ot resuming operations, but as yet he has received no definite answer. Hazleton Plain-Speaker. Farmers are complaining of foraging parties visiting their fields at night, digging up potatoes nnd carrying them away by the wagon load. One party was tired upon by a Do.lt on : fanner Monday anil ono of the foragers re ceived a load of blrdshot In his legs. A monster parade and mass meeting of the Upper Luzerne miners Is being arranged to take place In Wllkes Barie next Tuesday. District Presi dent T. D. Nichols has been chosen grand marshal. It Is expected that President Mitchell will attend. Yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer contained a quarlerpage sketch of V.

EFFORT TO BURN LAFUN BREAKER IT IS THE PROPERTY OF LAFLIN COAL COMPANY. Reese G. Brooks nnd Sons, of Thin City, Ate the Owners of the Stock of the Company Cotton Wnsto Soaked with Oil nnd Half Burned Matches Found nt the Entrance to the Breaker Fire Bugs Seen While at Work. Late Monday night nn effort was made to fire the large breaker of the Lallln Coal company, at Lailln, Lu zerne county, of which lteyse (1. Brooks, of this city, Is president. The colliery Is owned by Mr. Brooks and his sons. About tl o'clock Monday night the watchman, John Morgan, was making his usual rounds when he saw a dick ering light close to the breaker. lie started toward the point to In-v.-stlgute, when there was the report of a pistol and the lantern he car rlotf on his arm was struck by a bul let. He drew his revolver and le plled to the flte nnd iir he did so saw two men run away. Ills shots did not take effect. Morgan made a hurried Investiga tion and found a idle of oll-soakcd cotton waste plied against the entrance to the breaker and beside It several half-burnt matches, which had evi dently been put out by the wind while the men weie trying to fire the cot ton wapte. Had the men been successful, the breaker would most certainly have been destroyed. Five years ago the breaker was destroyed by lire, which Is supposed to have been kindled by an Incenllury. President Brooks, of tho company, said last night I but he cannot con ceive why any person should' drslre to wantonly destroy the company's property. They treat their tnen prop erly, he aald, and since the strike began they have made no effort to re sume operations. They do mot run a washery, or do anything that would be calculated to Incite the feelings of their men against them. THE RECRUITS ARE COWING IN SLOWLY Corporal Farrell Says the Requlte- ments for Marines Are So High It Is Difficult to Get Men. Corporal Joseph K. Farrell, of the United States marine service, who has s-ucceeded Corporal Harry Hansom, at the recruiting station on Wyoming avenue, remarked yesterday that the strike has In no way caused the per centage of enlistments to rise. "We have done pretty fairly this month, however," he yesterday remarked, and showed the foloivlng enlistments so far In September to prove his assertion: Michael K, Dooher, of Niagara Falls, came to Scranton to enlist, this being tho nearest recruiting station to his home and he being anxious to enter l... marines. He Is a veteran soldier nnd has seen service in Cuba with the Two Hundred nnd Second New York volunteer infantry. Henry Lesslng, of Fast Rim street; Rdward Leo O'Don nell, of West Market street; Clarence Snow, of North Washington avenue; Herbert Toomey, of Meridian street, and Joseph Mntowsky, are the other recruits. In speaking about the strike Corporal Farrell said: "We do not expect to do a great deal of business, as a result of this agitation for the reason that the requlre-nents for the service are too high. We have had a large number of miners at the olllce. but none of them weie able to pass the examlna 'on." Corporal Farrell only recently was put in charge of the oince, coming here about tlnee weeks ago, and Corporal Hansom then being transferred to League Island, where he will aid in whipping the raw lecrults Into shupe. The new recruiting officer Is a splen did specimen of the American soldier. He has only been In the marine service a short time, having formerly served In Company K, of the Fourteenth United States regulars, the first regiment In the regular service, to set foot In the Philippines. When the HIspano-Ameiicnn was be gan Corporal Farrell was practicing law In Cleveland, O. He enlisted May 25. 189S, and in June landed in Manila, where he saw plenty of hard fighting and was kept busy chasing the nglle Filipino until he received his honorable discharge.
