Sentiment Elsewhere.
The sentiment among the Weat Scran
ton mine workers is almost unani
mously against a strike. In locals
where Ave and six hundred votes were
cast, the percentage for a strike was
extremely small.
In almost every local meeting held
yesterday the more conservative mem
bers counselled careful consideration of
the question and their arguments car
ried much weight. I
The locals that have Instructed their
delegates against a strike, contain
many men who feel that they have
grievances which should be righted, yet
they also feel that a strike nt this time
would prove disastrous to their cause.
Taylor was divided. Providence was
also divided, but the majority of the
votes from that neighborhood will be

Rates to vote for a strike if no conces
sions were granted, 'but authorised the
delegates to Ignore these Instructions
In case President Mitchell advised
against a strike.
In Olyphant the Lackawanna and No,
2 locals voted against and the Eddy
Creek for n continuation of the strike.
It could not be learned how the Grassy
Island local voted.
In Archbald one local voted for and
one against the strike. In Jermyn, the
Jermyn No. 1 and Edgerton voted
against strike. Carbondale split even,
and wilt be represented at the conven
tion by four pros and four nntls. .
Tho Forest City slope, of the Hnlslde
company, voted against strike, while
the Forest City shaft of the same com
pany refused to give Instructions, The
Clinton colliery of the Delaware and
Hudson company nt Forest City voted
for strike.
The Riverside, nt Pcckvllle, was
ugalnst and Throop was for strike.
Both the Greenwood and Council mine
locals In Mlnooka voted for strike.
At Mooslc it was only possible to get
the vote of the Spring Brook and Katy
did, or Robertson & Law colliery, both
of which voted against strike.
In Avoca, only one colliery voted for
strike. Nothing could be learned of the
action of the Old Forge locals.
Quite a large number of the locals
gave supplementary Instructions to
their delegates to vote as President
Mitchell wished them, providing he
evinced a wish. This was the case with
the Manville local, which voted for and
the Pine Brook local which voted
against continuing the strike.
Won't Vote as Unit.
There are 173 locals In the First dis
trict, which extends from Nantlcoke to
Forest City, and half the members of
the United Mine Workers of the an
thracite region are In this district. If
they voted as a unit they could control
the conventlcn. That they will not vote
as a unit can be judged from the above
account of yesterday's voting. The best
information received here Is to the ef
fect that the other two districts are
opposed to the continuation of the
strike. If this is true, the chances arc
that the Hazteton convention will have
a majority of Its delegates voting to
withdraw the strike order.
An Indication of how the strike affects
other worklngmen than miners Is found
in a comparison of the Lackawanna
board for Saturday and today.

Trainmen Laid Off.
The Lackawanna yard, yesterday,
was filled with locomotives and caboos
es, which usually are out on the road.
Only passengers and freight trains were
run. The crews of the coal trains,
switching engines, mine branch crews,
yard switchmen and others engaged in
the handling of coal, Including eight of
the twelve clerks In the coal office have
been laid off. A large number of hands
will also bo laid off in the repair shops.
This condition obtains on all the roads.
A prominent superintendent said, yes
terday, that while the companies hope
for the miners' sake there will be no
strike, they are content that a conflict
should come now, if, as apparent, It
must come some time.
"Since the last strike," he went on
to say, "the operators have been sub
jected to all kinds of impositions and
annoyances, particularly at the hands
of vie foreign miners and boys. These
latter came to believe that their union
was so powerful and the company so
fearful of It, they could do pretty much
as they pleased, without danger of be
ing disciplined. The companies put up
with a good deal rather than cause
bother and when the men got an Inch
they proceeded to take a yard. It Is
impossible to conduct business 'success
fully under existing conditions and if
the companies must loose money they
might as well lose It in a strike as
through Inability to operate their mines
on a basis that will be business like and
paying. If the strike Is continued by
the Haaleton convention, you can rest
assured that It will never be termina
ted by any concessions from the opera
tors." Another superintendent furnished the
WKv
mmukttmugK&tfatw
following result of a canvass of a quar
ter of a hundred collieries In the First
district. The names of one hundred
miners were selected Indiscriminately
and their earnings made the bnsls of
Hie figuring. The result was tho follow
ing average for the last two weeks In
January:
firom earning .....,,.....,, . ",$&

Rev. J. J. Curran, of Wllkes-Barre,
was here yesterday In consultation with
President Mitchell. He proposes to go
to New York to make an effort to see
the operators and, If possible, gain
from them some concession which will
prevent the! strike.
Needs No Justification.
In regard to his actlo;i he is quoted
as saying; "I need no justification for
what I am doing. If I did, the fact that
my congregation Is absolutely depend
ent upon the miners, that hardship and
want threaten not only my own people,
but all tho people of this region; that'
destruction of property and loss of
human lives loom up In the shadow of
this strike, would all be my good and
suttlulent excuses."
Carbondale Is Divided.
i From what could be gleaned lust
Slight, the eight delegates who will go
from the United Mine Workers in Car
bondale to the convention at Hazleton
tomorrow, are divided, as to making
the strike permanent. Four, it is
shrewdly suspected, are unalterably
opposed to a strike, and four will leave
here with inclinations to make a light
against the operators. The term in
clination is used advisedly, for this
strike quartette is likely to be swayed
by what President Mitchell may Indi
cate as his wish; that is, of course, if
he makes his wishes known at all.
The miners were, as a rule, discreet
ly silent after the meetings of yester
day afternoon. In most cases, the
shaking of their heads warned their
questioners that 'they were bade to
keep silence. With all the attempts at
secrecy, however, enough leaked out to
warrant the belief and statement that
the eight delegates 'are equally di
vided. "
The delegates are divided among the
locals as follows: No. 1 and No. 3
mines, Delaware and Hudson, two
delegates; Coalbrook, Delaware and
Hudson, two; Black Diamond Coal
company, one; Last Chance mine,
Temple Iron and Coal company, one.
The No. 1 and No. 3 men are re
ported to have instructed their dele
gates, Bartley Biglin and Patrick He
Donough, to vote against a strike; at
any rate to be guided by President
Mitchell's opinion.
George Coles, the Black Diamond
delegate, Is said to have been given
instructions to stand against a strike.
Martin Andrews, the Last Chance
man, who is a foreigner, completes
the number opposed to a strike.
At the session of the Powderly mine
local, in McTighe's hall, on South
Main street, there was a stormy time,
and it is said that the pro-strike men,
by harranguing, succeeded In chang
ing the sentiment of the majority by
having the delegates, Reddington and
Quinn, Instructed to vote in "favor of
the strike. being made permanent.
The Coalbrook delegates are likewise
in favor of making the strike per
manent. This is said qualifiedly. for
they may yield to the inclinations of
President Mitchell, whatever they may
be.
Fittston Waits on Mitchell.

Although situated In the heart of
tho coal district coal Is scarce In the
local market, and It Is Impossible to
buy a pound at any of tho collieries,
every available pound being loaded In
cars and shipped to tidewater.
A rumor was current here this morn

places of any firemen or pump runners
who might refuse to work, -and the lo
cals had pickets stationed at the rail

In tb.e Wilkes-Barro District.
Wllkes-Barre, Pa May 12. In accor
dance with the tempornry strike order
Issued by President Mitchell and the
executive committee of the United
Mine Workers at Scranton, tho miners
of tho Wyoming valley, did not report
for work to-day and nil the ecliptics
were Idle. At the ofTlces of tho coal
companies It was stated that their em
ployes had quit work without notice
and that the clerks were now busy pre
paring the pay rolls and the men would
be paid off shortly. The strikers put
In tho day attending meetings of tho lo
cal assemblies of union workers when
delegates were elected to the Huzleton
convention; nearly all of the locals were
given Instructions as to how theyghould
vote. Some of the locals were In
session nearly all day.
The questions that are to come up In
tho Hazleton convention were discussed
In all their bearings. The meeting
were secret, but It Is reported to-night
that the instructions to deldgates were
about equally divided for and against
a strike. Many of the delegates were
Instructed to use their best judgement
or to be guided by the counsel of John
Mitchell.
Rev. J. J. Cjurran, pastor of the Holy
Savior Catholic church here left for
New York at noon to-day where he ex
pects to see the presidents of the coal
carrying roads and make a last uppeal
for some concessions which will prevent
the strike.
The Lehigh Valley railroad laid off
twenty-five coal train crews to-day.
The Central railroad of New Jersey also
laid oft some crews. The Lackawanna
railroad will suspend a number of coal
crews to-morrow and the Delaware and
Hudson crews expect to be suspended
to-morrow. Next to the miners the
railroaders would suffer most by the
strike.
Hazleton Votes to Strike.
Hazleton, May 12. That the miners
expect a permanent declaration at
Wednesday',"? convention Is shown by
the hundreds of applications made by
them for work on a new trolley con
struction here, for which, up to this
time, sufficient number of hands could
not be secured. The fear of a strike is
most pronounced among the foreign
ers, large numbers of whom have left
for their native land during the last
two days.
P. G. Gallagher, national executive
board member of the United Mine
Workers from this district, said to
night that from the reports so far re
ceived, , a majority of the delegates
from the Hazleton district to the con
vention would vote for a continuation
of the strike if no concessions are
granted by the operators. The Hazle
ton district will be entitled to from 155
to 160 votes. The temper of the men
is indicated by the vote of Local union
No. 3 on the strike question this after
noon, 231 of the members of which
were recorded for, and only 18 against
a permanent suspension.
The mules were removed from the
Evans slope, owned by the Van Wlckle
estate, near Beaver Meadow, this even
ing. Luther C. Smith, general superin
tendent of the collieries operated by
Coxe Brothers & Company, tonight
made the first public statement com
ing from the anthracite mining inter
ests. He said:
"When we ordered our men not to
report for work until notified to do so,
we did not contemplate a lockout.
Some of our employes are not members
of the union and they would have re
ported at the mines this morning. This
would have caused trouble, to prevent
which we closed down everything. We
do not want any marching or violence
and, above all, wo do not want militia
sent here."
The Lehigh Valley Coal company to
night Issued orders, suspending its
stripping operations Indefinitely.
President Duffy tonight received re
ports from tho locals In this district.
All but two of the locals, he said,
voted for a strike.

negotiations between the miners and
the operators and said that the lead
ers at Scranton, learning the operators
would not guarantee concessions, decid

Save
Your
New
Suit
From
Rain
Of course vou would
rather run the chances
of wetting it than carry
that shabby last year's
umbrella.
But you can save
your suit aud a dollar
by getting onn of our
new silk "rain sheil
ders." For $3.00.
They romo lu all tho
popular colors, with
steel shanks and nat
ural wood handles. Not
gaudy or cheaply orna
mented; just neat, swell
and serviceable.
They're worth fully
$4,00, but we bought a
lot und saved the dollar
for vou.
P. S. It's liable to rain
every duv this month,
L'ome in out of the wet.
