Miners in tho Wyoming and

Firomou Tho Largor May En

n.r Exclusive Wire from The Associated Trrs.
WllkevHarro,.Iuly IS. Tho coal oper
ators and the striking stationary en
gineers of thr Wyoming valley take
opposite views of thp action of the ex
ecutive committee of tho fnltert Mine
Vorkets, which mot In Pcranton today.
The committee decided that nil firemen
who are members of tho United Mine
Workers' organization must return to
work.
The operators think this Is a severe
hllw to the men on strike and one from
which they cannot lecovor. On the
other hand, the strikers claim that It
v Hi not nffect them much, as only u
comparatively few tiremen belong: to
the United Mine Worker. The gteat
majority of them are members of a sep
arate organization, the Stationary Fire
men's association. It would seem as
though the settlement of the stilke now
rested Mlth the mine employes them
relves and not the operators. The I'nlt
ed Mine Workers have apparently cle
larcd for one polloy. and the statlon
iry engineers another. Theie are TO,
W) miners In the Wyoming .mil Lark,
wanna region, and only about l.Rff)
remen. The difference In the force. Is
gieat that It can easily be seen how
he small organization can be engulfed
y the larger.
If the coal companies can secuie
nough firemen who are members of
ne United Mine Workers to do their
ork In the hollpr rooms, there Is
J.othlng to pievent them from starting
up their collieries. A great many of
the operators are confident that they
can secure the required number of men.
The strlkeis, however, hold that they
cannot, and that the stilke Is as for
from settlement as ever. To an Impar
tial observer, however. It must be plain
that the tiremen of the Wyoming valley
cannot win out If the mines in the
Lackawanna region continue to work,
which they undoubtedly will. That
would mean prosperity for the Lacka
wanna region and gieat depiesslon In
the Wyoming region. The miners In
this section would soon tire of such n
Mate of nffalis.
Statement of Firemen.
The hoisting engineers, at a meeting
held In this city today, voted to stand
with the firemen in their strugcle,
and engineers employed at collieries
where non-union men are nt work
were requested to quit their posts.
There was some trouble nt the Malt
by colliery of the Lehigh Valley Cool
company thts afternoon. A number of
men and boys assaulted a non-union
fireman named Martin Murray. The
man was badly beaten. Two other
men who wanted to take the places
of tho strikers were followed by a
noisy mob. A number of special
nrmed olllcers were sent to the scene
and they soon restored order. At
the office of the Susquehanna Coal
company it was stated that 'nearly all
their firemen had returned to woik
and that they o.Npeetc to resume wotk
nt their Olen Lyon mines tomorrow.
The following official statement was
issued by tho striking firemen this
evening:

RIOTING AT MALTBY.
First Trouble Since the Striko Opened
Takes Place at the Lehigh Valley
Colliery.
Fpeelal to tho Rcranton Trlhune
Pittson. July IS. One of the most
Important developments hero todav
was tho posting of the following notice
by the Krle Coal company:
I'llttton, July is.
I have Jut rompUted an eiamlnitlon of tlr
aorkinea of Sn. 8 colliery of this company a
find the water and gas it entirely nut. The col
liery will therefore resume work tomorrow.
Alevmder Thompson, foreman.
This will mark the first move on the
part of the operators to resume woik
without granting: the demands of the
'WK'ng firemen. Just what effect It
will have Is simply conjecture. No one
doubts but that the members of the
United Mine Workers will report for
duty as usual, as they have only been
foiccd Into Idleness by the lack of
steam power to inn tho plant. Then
again, there Is an absence of a unani
mous sentiment In favor of the attitude
of the tiremen nt this time; and be
sldcA the United Mine Workers have
not Wen nuthotized to tcmaln nway
from Wot k. The company In its notice
does iot say whether ot not the dc
tnnmlil of the firemen will be granted,
but tile Inference Is taken that they
will not, and this means that an effort
will bo made to operate the colliery
with non-union firemen. Whether the
englnoeis will consent to use what Is
Known as "scab steam" or not Is n
point that Is receiving much discussion.
Some contend they will not, while
olhers argue they will, because their
union has as yet only decided they shall
not take tho firemen' places, but shall
lemain at their own post. Humor has
It that a prominent olliclnl of the Krle
company Is ctedlted with saying that
an attempt to start No. s tomotrow, If
successful, will be followed by tho
gradual resumption of work at the
other collieries here.
Tho first trouble of any kind since tho
strike opened up took place tills morn
ing at the Malthy colliery of the Le
high Valley Coal company. The en
gineers, who have been taking the llre
mon'splaces, weie nttaokod by a large
crowd of striko sympathizers, while on
their way homo this morning. The men
wore called "scabs" and given other In
sulting epithets pelted with stones,
and compelled to beat a hasty retreat
to inside of the high board fence which
the Valley company has duiinu tho past
year taken the precaution to place
around all of Its collieries. At head
quarters this morning It was denied
that the trouble was made by firemen,
but was tho work of outsiders over
whom the strikers had no control.
Tho mules were removed form tho
Heidelberg collieries today and driven
back to West Httstnn. This Is taken
as indication that tho company expects
the trouble will last some time. A
prominent Valley official told Tho Tri
bune man today that tho strike could
not have struck his company nt n bet
ter time. If they can continue the
pumps and fans In operation, and they
are sure they can, it will make but lit
tle difference to them If the men re
main on their vacation for the entire
summer.
District President rierrlty said today
that unless thp Valley company took
some action toward granting the eight
hour day nt other of their collieries as
they ore doing nt their Seneca mine,
here, which has been working over
since the strike was declared, tho tiro,
men nt the Seneca would bp called out.
When the Volley company purchased
the Seneca mine a few weeks ago the
firemen had been working for several
months only an eight hour day, and
when the Valley took hold it con
tinued the plan, and Is still doing so.
although refusing to grant a similar
condition to the firemen nt Its other
collieries.

Buffalo. July IS. Ohio Day will go
down In Pnii-Ametiean exposition
records ns one of the- biggest days
nt the exposition. It will be niemor
nble In several ways; chiefly because
of the distinguished men nnd the mul
titude of representative citizens that
Ohio sent here to celebrate for her.
It Is doubtful If the Iluckeye state
ever on any other occasion, received
tho applause and praise which were
showered upon her at the exercises
held In the Temple of Music, nnd It Is
certain that no finer praise has been
bestowed upon the exposition man
ncoment. Promptly at 11 o'clock, liovernor
Nash, with his party, under th fscort
of the Klghth Ohio regiment, arrived
nt the Lincoln parkway gate nnd en

Senator Hnnna walked beside J. N.
Adams, chairman of the committee
on stntp and foreign representatives.
The building was filled. The aisle
anil the galleries were crowded. The
appearance of Oovornor Nash set the
Ohio people cheering. Senator For
aker, to the great disappointment of
inimv, did not come. Seats on the
platform had been reserved for the
Ohio party, and nil were soon seated.
It was 11.30 o'clock when David J.

day. advanced to the front and Intro
duced Illshop Arnet, of Wlllierforco
university, who made the opening
prayer.

Buchanan delivered a short address
of welcome. Governor Nash was the

Governor Nash's Address.
fiovernor Nash responded briefly, nnd
turned over the Ohio building to the
Pan-American, expressing at the same
time his "sincere hope that the exposi
tion may have the gieat eiueeoss which
efforts so magnificent and wonderful in
results as are tho.se made by the offi

of Buffalo deserve." President .John (!.
Mllburn responded to the remarks of
liovernor Nash. Following him, Hon.
I'harles W. Baker, a leading Cincinnati
lawyer, delivered an address.
Mine. Johnstone-Blshop sang again,
after which Hon. Kminett Tompkins, of
Columhus, spoke.
The last speaker was Senator M. A.
Hanna. whose subject was "Commer
cial Relations of tho American Conti

said the men who conceived the Idea of
holding the exposition deserved great
praise for having the Pan-American at
this time, Just when the 1'nled Statte.
is taking the lead in industrial enter
prises. "Let us make trade extension
and movement." he said, In conclusion,
"and let this Pan-American exposition
be the beginning: let us see that noth

Hy F.solusito Wire from The Associated Tress.
Macon, Mo.. July IS. Of nil the
ramifications of Cupid nnd his victims
there are few stories of more pathetic
human interest titan the and told in the
separation of Mr. nnd Mrs. I). S. Burch,
which was agreed upon yesterday af
ter a long talk, following a confession
troni the wife that she loved another
mote than her husband.
Mr. and Mrs. Burch were married nt
Milwaukee Just two months ago. They
have resided at .Macon six weeks, and
until the wife fell sick a week ago Mr.
Burch supposed his matrimonial craft
was riding on the safest of tides. She
had been in the habit of getting her
own mail till then. While she was In
bed the messenger Inadvertently placed
n missive In the husband's hands that
excited suspicion. The sick girl freely
confessed the story of her wayward
heart. She did not ask release from
her marriage vows until her husband
tendered It.
Scorning any half-way love, Mr.
Burch told bis wife she was free, if site
wanted to go to her old lover. After
long consideration Kite accepted the
saciltlce, and her husband made all
arrangements for her to go to Chicago,
where she said her relatives lived. He
went to the depot, purchased her ticket
and kissed her good-by like a real hus
band. Their short honeymoon was
over, nnd not a person at the station
guessed the truth.
Mr. Burch has a responsible position
with the Macon Shear works, nnd as an
honorable and capable man stands the
best. He says he will forgive nnd try
to forget. He has no wend of reproach
against tho man who has supplanted
him In his wife' affections, and refused

PJttsb'u'rg. July IS. Most Important
of nil news regarding the steel work
ers striko that reached Plttsbtirtr to
day was the action of tho men em
ployed In the DuncansvUIo plant of
the American Steel Hoop company. X
telegram was received by President
Shnffcr fiom the men In tho morn
ing asking If they should strike. Tho
message wns n surprise, for tho Amal
gamated people as they were not look
ing for tlils news' so soon. President
Shaffer answered, telling tho men
not to come out unless they were or
ganized. If organized, they should
strike for they were needed. In the
afternoon another telegram was re
ceived from DuncansvUIo, asking
thnt nn organizer bo sent (to them a
once. In compliance with this request,
Vice President .lohn Pierce started for
IDuncansvllle this evening, to complete
the organization. A meeting Is ex
pected to be-held tonight. The Dun
cansvUIo plant is the last of tho Hoop
plants to remain at work, nnd the
Amalgamated association ofllclals say
If they are successful In closing this
plant they will be masters of the sit
uation as fur as the Steel Hoop com
pany Is concerned nt least.
Ohio Offers to Arbitrate,
The action of the Ohio board of arbi
tration In offctlng to bring about a set
tlement of the strike created nomo talk
today In steel elides. M. M. fJarland,
former president of the Amalgamated
association 'ntnl nt present collector of
the port, snld that he did not consider
the action of the Ohio board as un
usual, but rather the carrying out of
their duties as such a body. It Is the
duty of that board to offer Its services
whenever labor trouble (starts that af
fects the Industries of thnt state,In
view of this fact, Mr. Garland could
not see where the troubles wore more
liable to settlement now than before.
"I cannot see what there Is in this
question to arbitrate," he said. "Tho
question cannot be settled except by
tho complete backdown of one side or
the other on a matter of principle."
The situation throughout this district
remains practically as announced early
In the clay. In the Immediate vicinity
of Pittsburg the evident Intention of
the company to attempt the reopening
of tho Deuces Wood plant at McKecs
port Is the only Incident so far calcu
lated to cause uneasiness. The notlc s
posted today were placed with probable
expectation of securing the early re
turn to town ot many of the workers
who have gone on fishing nnd other
vacation Hire The men claim to be
eontldcnt that enough men cannot be
secured to operate the mill, and say no
opposition will bo made to any who
may wish to go In,
Tin Mill Running.
The police authorities have taken
every precaution and feel prepared to
cope with any trouble that may arise.
The present center of tho trouble
seems to be nt Wellsvllle, O., where a
public mass meeting was held this
afternoon for tho purpose of present
ing both sides of the controversy to
the men and citizens generally. The
entire district contributed attendants
nt the meeting and a number of
speeches were made, the principal ono
being that eif President Shaffer, ot
the Amalgamated association. An
other meeting will bo held tomor
row. A dispatch from Monesesn tonight
says: "In spite of all efforts to tho
contrary, the tin mill here Is still run
ning nt full force, and as far as pres
ent appearances Indicate It promises
not to be affected in the slightest by
the strlK'e, The SOU employes aro
satisfied with the voluntary. advance
made by the combination and willcon
tlnue to work along non-union lines.
There are reports of a special meet
ing to bo held this evening with some
of the otllclals of the Amalgamated as
sociation, and of an effort to bo made
to have the plant dosed down next
Monday, but It cannot be verified. Of
the S00 striking steel hoop men, many
have left for their homes, ns they
are of the opinion the contest is to be
long nnd bitter, Tho hoop mill In
closed down, with the exception of
nbout twenty men who nro making
some -needed repairs,"
Help from Chicago,
Amalgamated Secretary John Will
lams received a letter from Vice-President
Davis, of the Chicago district, to
ilay, announcing that the men employed
by the Keileral Steel company had been
