Eight-Hour Day Question Is Being Fought by Large Companies—Mine Work ers Oppose the Strike. The strike of the stationary firemen of tho Wyoming region, which was or dered for yesterday morning, began on schedule time. One thousand iiromen arc striking, about 80,000 mine workers are idle and the mines between Scran ton and Wilkosbarro are shut down. Tho strike in the Scranton district was declared on at 5 o'clock last night, and this morning the 30,000 miners between Scranton and Forest City, comprising the upper coal field, were thrown Idle. In the Lehigh and Shamokin districts the firemen have been given three days more at work before the strike order affects them. They are not so well or ganized in those two districts, and or ganizers are now among thAin. At the mines of several large coal companies notices have been posted declaring work suspended indefinitely. At others where work was started at the usual hour it was suspended just as soon as the firemen walked out of the boiler-rooms. When President Nichols, of the First district of the United Mine Workers, was asked the position of his men in the matter all he would say was: "The Mine Workers will remain entirely neutral at present. We may reach another decision later." What this other decision may be, however, ho would not say.

These are tho Plymouth Coal Company, tho Haddock Company, tho Wyoming Coal and Land Company, the Clear Spring Company add the Kingston Coal Com pany. The large companies which shut down their mines and declared a virtual lock out against firemen, and also miners and engineers, are the Lehigh Valley, the Erie, the Susquehanna and Western, the Lehigh and Wilkesbarrc, the Parrlsh, the Red Ash, Payne A Perrin, the Raub Company, the Temple Iron and Coal Company, the Keystone, tbe Algonquin, the Delaware and Hudson, the Alden, the Butler, tbe Newton and a number of smaller companies at mines and wasber ies. It is expected that this action will be followed in the morning by the com panies in the First and Second anthra cite districts between Scranton and Forrest City. This will Increase the number of idle miners to about 130,000. i Of the factories and mills jn the upper end only a few have refused the demands of the men, and the most important have granted them, so that that the chief fight will be with the coal com panies. The Sheldon Axle Works, how ever, one of the largest Institutions of its kind in the world, refused the demands 1 and last night announced a lockout of al! its employes, firemen and others, for an indefinite period. As soon as the firemen struck at the mines the companies sent fire bosses, outside foremen, coal and iron police, clerks and other non-union men into the boiler rooms and they have kept up steam enough to run the pumps at most mines. At some, however, these men refused to take firemen's places and the stopping of the pumps will Hood the MINK "WORKKits OPPOSE STRIKE. Yesterday afternoon the members of the executive committee of the United Mine Workers of District No. 1 met and decided to Issue an order restraining all firemen who are members of the Mine Workers from striking. About one third of all the firemen employed in the anthracito region are members of the Mine Workers' Union, having joined that in preference to the Firemen's Union. The members of the Firemen's Union are much displeased with tho action tho Mine Workers executive committee ! took, and it is generally conceded that the strike will fall. A desire to protect the mine workers from the great loss a strike would entail, which would result in a suspension of milling, caused the Mine Workers to take tin; decisive step they did. If the executive committee of District No. 7 takes the same position as District No. 1 has taken, the strike cannot affect the. Lehigh region, as all the firemen at collieries hero are members of the United Mine Workers. Snyder's Family Troubles. As Chris Snyder returned from work ; near Wilkosbarro last night be says ho , discovered his wife and Charles regent walklrtg up and down the yard with their arms about each other. So he grabbed an ax and made for i'ngent, but that gentleman scaled the back fence. Mrs. Snyder then took carbolic acid, but it was so highly diluted that when her husband discovered what she was up to and took the bottle from her she had not taken enough to seriously affect her. Cash Will Be the Rule. A. S. VanWickle & Co., the Beaver Brook Coal Company, the Silver Brook Coal Company and Dougherty A Co.. all owning company stores, gave notice yes terday that hercaftor their business will be conducted on a strictly cash basis. Dougherty A. Co., who pluck South Side miners, will abandon their store on the lirst of next month. The coal corporations owning stores in tin- Schuylkill region have nearly all given notice of their intention to place the stores ott a cash basis.

The employes of the Kingston Coal Company, 3,000 in number, went on strike yesterday morning with the sanc tion of the Mine Workers' executive committee of the district.

Liquor Men Have Troubles. Tito executive board of the Retail Liquors Dealers Association of North eastern Pennsylvania hold a meeting on Monday in Wilkesbarre and represen tatives were present representing towns •from Freeland to Scranton, Including Luzerne and Lackawanna counties. The chief business discussed was the refusal on tho part of the Central Pcnn sylvana Brewing Company to reduce the price of beer. It will he remem bered that the government dropped the revenue tax 40 cents per barrel, while tin- price of beer was reduced only 25 cents per barrel by tho brewing com pany and now the dealers are. consider ing tbe advisability of boycotting the. trust. At the meeting one of the members stated that a New York man was present and introduced a movement to build a brewery to bo located somewhoro be tween Wilkesbarre and Scranton, tho same bo erected, conducted and owned by the liquor dealers, who are to pur chase shares ranging from $5 upwards. There was considerable wrangling about tho proposition to buy beer elsewhere than from the trust breweries, and the discussion continued until adjournment without definite action being taken.
