Trainmen Absolutely Refuse to
Handle Non*-Union Coal.>—The
Situation is Regarded
as Serious.
Hazel'On. Pa., Sept. 17.—The miner*
the Pennsy Ivanla anthra
cite region went out on a strike in a
body this morning. It is estimated
that over 160,000 men have laid down
tbeir tools. The strike was ordered by
President Mitchell and Secretary Wil
aon, of tba United Minn Workers of
.America.
Tba document wbioh called the
Miners from their work was the offi
cial endorsement of the request of the
anthracite diicts to strike. It wss
considered by the national board at
Reir meeting two weeks ago, They
left all power to indorse the request in
■gTlTcds-of tbe sbeye named offloers.
Be action was withheld until the last
Hmoent, tfi hope that tome concessions
imight come from the operators, but
■one came, Tbe total number of in
■de and outside bands employed in
the anthracite region is 142,420, of
whom 91,871 are inside, and 61,249 out
side employes. All of the United
M'oe Workers have obeyed tbe order,
and a great many of the outside men
have also quit.
In tbeir and maud* tbe miners ask tbe
correction of many evils, tbe more
important Of which are the following:
Abolition of tl.e company store*;
reduction in the price of powder to
$1.50 & key ; abolition of company dco-
U>r.; send monthly Day ment of wvges;
ab I rion of the sliding real*; wages
pain in t-ash; 2,240 pounds to the ton;
lu sdvanos of 20 per cent, in *agc
► less than $1.50 and not exceeding $1.75
a dsyt that all classes of dry labor
Ijv recsivu g $1.50 and not exceeding
$1.75 sbßll receive 15 per cent, over
present wages; that all day labor now
receiving $1.75 shall be
per oent.; that no miner shall have at
any time mors than one breast, gang,
or other class of work, and shall get
only bis legal share of cars.
Bos ness men throughout tbe coal
sections deplore tbe action acd fear
that it will greatly bun thj* if tbe
atnke continue for of
time. W
Tbe coal basins extend oyer an area
of about 470 square mites and are dis
tributed through several counties
The average production from the en
tire distriot Is 75,500,000 tons a year.
The closing of tbs mines is expected
to reduoe tbe regular ooal production
about 75 cent
The lost In wages in this strike will
amount to about $3,00,000 a mouth-
Tbe railroads and Coal operators will
suffer to tbe ext eat of about $7,000,000
a month. It is understood tb%t the
men are prepared fof h loog strike.
The ossh balance in tbe treasury of
tbs organization amounts to about
11,000,000
The strike leaders hare especially
cautioned against quarrels and viola
tions of tbe peace and it is thought
that there will be a repitition of the
tragedy which occurred in the same
district three years ago, when twenty
one miners were killed and over fifty
wounded.

oltjjy.ious and the awful disaster In
Texas had equally small influence.
In short, prices showed a remarkably
firm undertone, but no one is likely to
buy stocks for the rise with any free
dom until the outcome of the election
is more certain than now appears.
Business men realize that sound
jnoney is again the chief issue, and
that Imperialism, twits, etc., are all
of importance until this su
preme question is permaneotly settled.
,Il the faoe'of such a struggle, and re
rnembsring the feverish suspense of
1896. when the battlo first began, It is
not surprising that valu s refuse to re
spond to’the inauy favorab’e influences
ou'side of politics.
There is still the possibility of a de
cline in the sound money vote, oeoause
the peril how seems raorC remote and
many who were, influenced to vote in
1896 solely on that issue will imagine
it safe to Ignore that issue now.

ABOUT TORPEDO DIVISION.
Macon Tetr*tfi .J|y : Mnoonitea
Want Them to Come,

f
in ad extended article on the Maqon
street fair, the Telegraph in its issue
of yesterday says:
“It is probable that the Torpedo di
vision of the Nava! reserves from
J Brunswick will come up, bringing
ptir ts-oard cutter with' which they
beawtbe crew from,,the regular naxJl
some three years ego
sound. Tlnwa marineaare in grotesque
sailor-like uh./orwsWnnd should they
flfiwv r *
come, which is very likely, they will
place the cutter on a decorated Host
and take part in the floral parade.
Such is their rrqnest. It is probable
that they will dip their cutter in the
Ocmulgeo river, and let the people
view the novel scene from Spring
-street-fridge and the river front.
