FIREMEN'S
BIG STRIKE
Upper EM Miners Thrown
Idle hy the Battle.
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.

hour day at the last moment. 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.

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

and introduced a movement to build a
brewery to bo located somewhoro be
tween Wilkesbarre and Scranton, tho

discussion continued until adjournment

new brewery project. Another meeting
will bo held next Monday and tho sub
jects will again come up.
