EFFECT OF THE
STRIKE ORDER
NEWS RECEIVED WITH MUCH
CONOEBN LAST NIGHT.
It Is Almost a Certainty That the
Order Will Be Generally Obeyed by
Mine Workers Noted Preacher

Court Closing Jubilee Service.
Becent Mino Accldonts Choral
Society Meetings Events of To
day and Evening Notes and Per
sonals. The chief topic of convei nation lust
evening In nil circles In West Scrnnton
was the result of the minors' delibera
tions nnd their decision to suspend
operations on Monday next, pending
unother conference to be held ut Jlnzlc
ton on Wednesday.
Many Inquiries were made nt the
Tribune's branch ofllec In Jenkins's
drug store early In the evening regard
ing the probable outcome of the com
atilttee's deliberations, and when the
bulletin was posted, announcing the de
cision the news caused n great commo
tion among those gathered around the
corners of Main avenue and Jackson
treet.
Many opinions were expressed re
garding the probable effect of the order
but it Is almost a certainty that the or
der will bo religiously obeyed. There
are hundreds of mine workers in West
Scranton who do not favor a strike,
yet they will abide by the decision of
their leaders and remain away from
the mines, pending n settlement.
The news of the strike was received
by the business men generally with
concern, particularly those who depend
largely on the mine workers' trade, as
It will seriously effect their Interests.
No one can forecast the general effect
the strike will have on the community
at large, as the news came too late List
night to feci the pulse or the people on
the subject.
Operations at the various collieries
located In the Keyser Valley will prac
tically be suspended to-day, as the
semi-monthly pays at all of them will
be made to-day, and on such occasions
very little work is done.
The mine workers assert that the
past thirty days have been the best
for work that they have ever exper
ienced in the same length of time, and
it is apparent from the vast amount of

The demand for coal during the past
week has been enormous, particularly
from a local point of view, and every
teamster In the city has been working
overtime to supply the demand. At A.
K. Kobtnson's Sons coal yard hun
dreds of tons lmvo been stored, nnd
they have enough coal on hnnd to sup
ply their needs for many weeks to
come.
The American Locomotive works
have also secured n large amount of
coal, which Is piled up near the cllfC
works.

The members of the various patriot
ic societies were present In largo num
