NO ATTEMPT
MAGE TO WORK
Opsrators Deny That They
Are Ready to Resume.
Yesterday's Heavy Rains Did
Much Damage to Collier
ies in This Vicinity and
Several Are Floodod.
The rumors that have been current
Tor a few days past that the operators
would uiake an attempt to resume opera
tions this week are denied by the
general superintendents and others in
charge of the workings. In this vicinity
Coxe Bros. & Co., it was said, would
make an effort to mine coal tomorrow.
The report had it that their colliery
whistles will blow for work this evening.
In conversation with a Drifton official
tliis morning the Tribune was assured
that the company has no intention to
resume for the present.
Whether these denials are truo or
false, tiino and the operators alone can
tell. It is certain, however, that sev
eral of the mines are now in no condi
tion for miners to enter. Yesterday's
Incessant rains, which fell steadily from
early morning until night, did much
damage to the surrounding workings,
and if the owners had any intention to
resume this week it was soon dispelled,
as the inexperienced men who are at
the pumps were unable to keep out tho
water which flowed In.
The strikers, apparently, were deter
mined to not bo caught napping, and
this morning found largo bodies of them
on all roads leading to collieries where
non-unionists are at work.
Upper Lehigh boiler-houses wore visit
ed at an early hour, and when tho
crowd departed the men who were em
ployed at the boilers and pumps were
missing and did not return for several
hours. It is said that an altercation
between strikers and a man omployed
on the new trolley road in the valley
took place on Butler hill.
no A 1)8 TO DRIFTON GUARDED.
All roads leading to Drifton collieries
were strongly guarded from 4 to 7
o'clock, and only those whom the
strikers had agreed to permit work
passed the picket lines.
Several of those who, when stopped
and asked to go home, agreed to do so,
but tried to reach their destination via
circuitous routes. After finding that
the strikers' line extended from Butler
hill to Sandy Run- the effort to get to
Drifton before 7 a in. was abandoned.
On South Itidge street, below the bor
ough lino, fourteen coal and iron police
were stationed to escort men to Drifton,
but their task was an easy one, as none
but clerks, train-runners and tho D. S.
& S. passonger-train crew crossed the
line.
The police wore the regulation blue
uniform and military caps. Each man
carried a largo revolver in his loft hip
pocket, but did not make any ostenta
tious display of tho weapon. They were
accompanied by Superintendent John
Rehlands, Deputy Sheriff Jacob Zeist
loft and three Drifton clerks.
Daubach's bakory wagon, en route to
the D. S. & S. station with tho dally
consignment of bread and cakes for
Oneida and Shoppton, was met on South
Ridge street, and, under the impression
that tho food was destined for tho coal
and iron police and workers at Drifton,
tho strikers induced the driver to return.
SHERIFF JACOHH IN TOWN.
Sheriff A. 11. Jacobs, of Ha/.leton, ar
rived on tho scene on the first trolley
car from Hazleton. Finding many of
the pickets lined along the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad, and the coal and Iron
police, within a few feet of * them on
South Ridge street, tho sheriff quickly
decided that the two forces should be
placed further apart. There were no
signs of disorder or trouble, but know
ing that the best of feeling does not ex
ist between tho police and the pickets
the decision of tho sheriff was for the
best interests of all concerned.
He promptly notiliod tho police to
retreat to Coxe addition, as their pres
ence at the railroad tracks was unneces
sary. Then he not!lied the pickets to
return to the borough streets, at the
samo time cautioning them against
breaking the poace in any manner.
Both parties immediately obeyed the
officer and the morning's work ended in
a victory for the strikers.

borough and Foster township were serv
ed this morning with notices from the
law firm of Kline, Smith & Blgelow, of
Hazleton, attorneys for tho following
firms and companies: G. B. Markle &
Co., Lehigh Valley Coal Company, Coxe
Bros. & Co., J. S. VVentz & Co., M. S.
Kern merer & Co., Upper Lehigh Coal
Company, Estate of A. S. VanVVickle,
Pardee Sons & Co., Pardee Bros. & Co.,
A. Pardee & Co., C. M. Dud son & Co.
and C. Pardee & Co.
The notices call attention to the au
thority of justices of tho peace In dis
persing unlawful assemblies and say
that since the inception of the present
labor difficulties there have been riotous,
tumultous and unlawful assemblages of
persons, who have intimated employes
going to and returning from work, and
by reason of their large nunbors have
deterred other employes from pursuing
their avocation.
The justices are then requested to
preserve the peace and order within
their jurisdiction by dispersing unlawful
assemblages and afford to tho employes
of tho companies above named protec
tion from assaults, threats, etc., and to
give protection to their operations.
MITCHELL REACHES CHICAGO.
President Mitchell yesterday arrived
at Chicago and will bo there several
days. When asked the object of his
visit to Chicago, Mr. Mitchell said he
came to settle several questions in
dispute in the Illinois coal fields, which
had been referred to Commissioner Her
man Justi, of the Illinois Operators'
Association, and himself. These mat
ters, he thought, wonld be disposed of
today.
Mr. Mitchell will go to Saginaw, Mich.,
Tuesday, to meet the miners' officials of
Michigan and tho operators of that
state, with view* to settling the strike,
which has been in progress there since
last April.
President Mitchell denied emphati,
cally the story current in some quarters
that his visit to Illinois was connected
with divorce proceedings to bo brought.
His martial relations, he declared, were
amicable. Mitchell said he would pros
ecute the newspapers which published
tho story.
CONSPIRACY CHARGED.

ban, of Wilkosbarre, and VV. J. White
house aud S. 11. lvaorcher, of Pottsvillo,

The operators have issued a statement
alleging that many of tho strikers are
applying for their old places, and that
two-thirds of tho colliories could be
opened if proper protection could be
afforded. The strike leaders say that
this Is an effort to frlghtou tho men, but
will not succeed.
Mrs. William Mitchell, wifo of tho
fire boss at No. 11 colliery, Plymouth,
who Is working, was fined 5511.25 yester

tective work is done in the new story by
Dr. A. Conan Doyle, "The Hound of
the Baskerviiies." Holmes himself says

brought face to face with the monster

a great subjoct, by a master of the
craft. This thrilling story begins In the
