THE BRUNSWICK TIMES-CALL. VOLUME XI. NUMBER 28. iiin kUHtI ■One Hnnerefl ant Fifty TboisaM Goal Miners Qiit Wirt ' mm in in it 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.

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. Ffom'tfiiseatfße and Indifference, al so, ‘.hers is decided danger of a gain In the free silver ranks; and, as the country knows what to expect in such an event, prupence dictates a waiting pollcv until the results can be antici pated with some degree of safety. . ./ r - ■ ABOUT TORPEDO DIVISION.
