NINES READY
TO START UP
NEARLY ALL IN SHAPE
QUICK RESUMPTION.
FOR
Superintendents of the Local Com
panies Say That Practically the
Full Working Fotce Can Be Ac
commodated In a Week or so Af'ter
the Strlko Is Declared Off Some
Concern Over the Possibility of
Trouble Between Union and Non
Union Men.
The paranuiunt question hereabouts,
yesteiday, wns as to when the minors
would letitrn to work. Tlie urtcrnmni
despatches Indicated Hint the older or
"back lo the mines" would be effective
some day lu the early putt of next
week, probably Tuesday. Interviews
with local superintendents tended to
.show that With very few exceptions
the collieries would be ready for m
suniptlon Immediately.
Only two collieries operated by com
panies having their headquarters In
Scranton cannot be re-opened within a
week or ten days. These are the Krle
company's Butler mine, at Plttston,
and the Delaware, Lacknwaiina mid
Western company's HnUstead at Dur
yca. Iloth weie allowed to Hood when
the pumprunners weie called out, bo
cause the effort It would cost to keep
them free of water for a long period
without their earning anything by pio
ductlon, was hardly wiirrunteiKjjy the
amount of coal available fmm inese
openings. It may be that, eventually,
both mines will be m-opened. If they
are It will be some months, ,posslbly,
before they are mady for opeiatlons.
Superintendent Hose, of the Dela
ware and Hudson company, said that
fifteen of tlie company's twenty-nine
places could be gotten In working
shape .within a few days, and all of
tlieni within a week or ten days. It
Is possible, lie said. Hint some of them
may be In worse shape than is at pies
ent known. Heavy falls may have oc
curred on roads that have not been
recently exploied. and If such is tlie
case a large number of chambeis may
have to lie idle until the falls are
cleared awuy.
IN SIIAPK TO HKSf.ME.
Assistant Superintendent Tobey, of
the Delnwnte, Lackawanna and West
ern company, said that every one of his
company's twenty-six collieries are in
shape to resume at once, with tlie ex
ception of tlie Ilallstead. noted above.
Seventeen or the 1 ollieries, twelve
mines and live washeries are already at
woik, and in a number of others men
have been engaged for some time in
not only cleaning up und repairing, but
in cutting coal. One place at which not
so much as a pound of coal was hoist
ed dining the strike had thirty-eight
men working lindergiouiid fur two
weeks past.
The Eile company has kept all of
its thirty places, except Its Hutler col
liery. In good shape and will, It is ex
pected, be able to put on Its full force
within a few days after tlie strike is
odlcially called off. Of the Ontailo and
Western company's fourteen places the
same can be said. Its three washeiies
and four of its mines have been wink
ing for some time past, with good
sized foiteH.
Ueneral Alanager Thome, of the Tem
ple Iron company, was seen just as he
returned fiom a tour of the company's
nine places, and lepoited that each one
of them Is in good shape, and can be
started up in the couise of a veiy few
days. The Noithwest breaker at Hd
geiton, which was destroyed by Hie a
short time before the strike began, has
been inbuilt, and Inside of a week will
be ready for resumption.
To sum it all up the mlneis can near
ly all be accommodated from the very
Hist day, either in working their cham
bers or assisting the company hands

Some concern fs fell over the possibil
ity of local disturbances and petty
sti Ikes, resulting Irom the union men
being compelled to work with those
who have continued lu the companies'
seivice or relumed to work dining the
strike. This, it Is hoped. Is. to ,1 great
degme, false alarm. Tlie Culled Aline
Winkers' oigunlzatlon has deel.ued
that It does not try to dictate that
membeis of Its organization only shall
be employed about the mines. While
the arbitration commission is In session
It will hardly do for mports to go forth
thut will give the lie to tills declara
tion. Consequently it will be up to tlie
olllcnrs of the union to prevent trouble
on this score, and It Is the opinion heie
abouts they can do this if they try.
There will be no difficulty expeileucod
In Hudlng places for all hands. At
the most theie ure not over 10,000 non
union men In Hie whole region. Fnity
thousand strikers have gone to other
Ileitis or gotten Into other lines of em
ployment. Ten thousand of these 40,000
will never seek to go back to tlie mines,
These- facts, coupled with the further
faft that the mines will be worked in
their fullest capacity for a long time to
come, makes It certain there will bo no
conflict between union and iioii-uiiian
men because of the one crowding out
the other,
Nothing has been heard yet at tin
camps as to how much longer the sol

general expectation Is that sumo of

mass meeting at Nay Aug park. Largo

the strike Is about to end will imt
make the pioposed passing of the hat
unnecessary. The sti liters will eoiitlnuo
to need relief for two weeks or so as
It will be that length of time before
they draw their llrst pay.
The Dehiwam, Lackawanna and
Western company is perhaps hi betttr
shupe now to bundle the rush of coal
business that will follow the settlement
of thu strike than It has ever been bo
fore. During tlio past live months,
every locomotive and coal cur in need
of repair has been sent through the
shops and arc. now In first-class shape.
