125,000 Are Idle in the Pennsyl

Philadelphia, Sept. 17.>—Reports
from the anthracite coal field of
this state indicate that the tie-UD
caused by the strike for higher wa
ges of more than 140,000 miners 19
as complete as*the leaders of the
United Mine Workers of America
claimed at any time.
Those who have claimed that
their work would operate as us
ual despite the strike order, appa
rently reckoned without accurate
knowledge of the attitude of their
men. It is true that some opera
tions in the Hazelton region were
working today with as high as 80
per cent of the men, nevertheless
the greater number m the district
were idle.
As was expected the Schuylkill
region, with Pottsville for a central
point, was at work with very few
defections. These men have not
the same grievances that prevailed
in other districts and if thev go on
strike it will be largely through sym
pathy. President Mitchell of the
United MineWorkers, who has es
tablished headquaters at Hazelton,
and is personally directing the
strike, estimates that over 100,000
men struck and that 15,000 more
will join them tomorrow.

should be remedied at all hazards.
Millen, Ga., Sept. 18.—Near the de
pot and within 50 feet of one of the ar
tesian wells is a large colony of red
ant, which the poverbial oldest inhab
itant declares has existed there for 50
years to his certain knowledge and per
haps longer. It is said to he character
istic of these ants that they will dig and
keep on digging until they strike water.
The other day the people were aston
ished at seeing a stream of artesian wa
ter 7 feet high coming out of a new
place. Investigation proved it to be
from the ant hole. The ants, it seems,
miscalculated and dug until they struck
one of the artesian wells. The water
broke through the passage made by the
ants and is pouring out of their former
home.
