MORE MEN ARE OUT Coalminers' Strike HaV-'So Far Been Orderly. - NO NEGOTIATIONSFOR SETTLEMENT IntcreBtinp Meeting: Between Opera tors a.nA Employee ift Jeddo, in. the Haxelton "District. HAZLETON. Pa., Sept 19. The third day of the strike passed oft as guletly as the two preceding: days. Beyond the occasional stoning of a mlneworker go ing to or from his work, there is no dis order. It was estimated tonight , that about 70 per cent of the mlneworkers of this region -were Idle today, which Is quite an Increase over yesterday's figures. President llltchell did not issue a formal statement tonight. He said, however, that Irom reports he had received he figured on more than 123.0W men being idle in the anthracite district. He added that most gratifying reports were received from this and the Schuylkill district. No negotiations for a settlement of the strike are yet In sight, and the situation in that respect is precisely the same as It was yesterday. The United Mlneworkers of this section are confining their efforts to get the men to quit work everywhere, believing that they cannot successfully J carry on the contest unless every opera tion in the three districts is tied up com pletely. The operators appear to be do ing nothing toward a. settlement of the trouble They are working the crippled collieries as best they can. The mineowners in the Hazleton dis trict complain bitterly of what they call the "cruel tactics" of the union. They .claim that the workmen who are still going to the mines are being intimidated and even threatened with serious bodily liarm if they do not quit work. They also add that most of the men now idle desire to resume work, but through fear of as sault they do not leave their homes. The meeting this afternoon at Jeddo of the employes of G. B. Markle & Co., who operate the Jeddo, Ebervale, High land and Oakdale collieries, proved to be probably the most remarkable gathering of Its kind ever held in the anthracite region. It was expected to be a heart-to-heart talk between John Markle, man aging partner of the firm, and his em ployes, who number 2300, but it devel oped into a Joint debate, in which Mn, Markle, President Mitchell, Rev. Father PhilippsandJCational Committeeman Ben jamin James took part. It began in a dignified argument and wound up xery close to personalities. Over 1003 persons were present at the meeting. Before the arrival of the Markles one of -the miners in the crowd moved that the men in the Markle mines strike. A viva voce vote was taken, and there was a great roar of "Yes." President Mitchell was in the crowd, and he wag invited to speak. As ho walked up the steps of the schoolhouse, John Markle, Alvin- Markle and General Superintendent Smith, of the firm's mines, came along the railroad track, and the trio stood on the cinder em bankment of the road and listened to the strike leader exhort his hearers. All around them, sitting on th& embank ment, were the wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts of the men, while the 8chool children .gazed from the w.indow3 of the one-story building and ijie school master fatood at the door. Mr. Mitchell said in brief, that he re gretted tihat the men of the Markle mfnep -were divided, but was glad that those- who opposed the -strike were Jn1 the mi-i4 Xiority. He said the eyes of 138,000 miners were looking toward them, and 'that If they all stopped work the victory would be won; but, on the other hand, if a few went to work it would injure the inter ests of all the men. Then John Markle made Tils way to ward the crowd of miners and started to address the men. Mr. Msxkle was un able to speak for a while, because of interruption by many in the crowd. Sev eral of the United Mlneworkers' officials attempted to get the crowd to disperse and not listen to Mr. Markle.- The lati ter, however, won over the gathering. He told them the company stood ready to arbitrate any differences with the men. He said the company had an arbi tration agreement of long standing with the men, and that he would live ip to it and expected the men to do the same. He also said that he ould abide by tho decision of the arbitrators, no matter "what the award might be. Mr. Markle concluded his address by paying his re spects to the United Mlneworkers' offi cials, calling them agitators and charg ing them -with being responsible for ail the turmoil in the region. Mr. Mitchell then got on the teps, end standing beside Mr. Markle, told the crowd that the United Mlneworkers would not accept arbitration on that bi ds. It must be the whole region and not a part of it. Mr. Markle again addressed the men and reiterated what he said last Sunday, that he would, accept Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, as an arbitrator, to -which Mr. Mitchell replied that they would accept the archbishop on the basis that tho United Mine porkers proposed arbitration of the whole region at one and the same time. At this point Father Phllipps was called upon oy the men and delivered a speech favoring arbitration. He told the men that there was a chance to arbitrate their honest differences, and If they did not seize the opportunity, they would be giv ing organized labor the hardest blow It 2as ever been dealt, and that all the men -who refused the offer deserved all the Iiardshlp that the operators could put upon them in 100 years. President Mitchell and Mr. Markle again epoke. and Benjamin James also ad dressed the men, but their remarks were largely of a personal nature. The meet ing lasted two hours. The "strike lead ers claim that as a result of the meeting tile Markle mines will be closed, while the firm claims that the meeting was a packed one, and that their mines will operate tomorrow as usual. The McAdoo miners, to the number of 250", marched to Coleraine this afternoon, -where they gathered quite a crqwd ana listened to addresses by strike leaaers. MARCHING BEGUN. Strikers Add to Their Ranlcs nt Harletqn. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 19. All was quiet In the entire .coalfields, today. Even the much-advertised clah in the Lykens region of the Pennsylvania Railroad; Com pany was sidetracked through the decis ion of the strikers at Lykens that it would be unwise to march on the non union men at TPllliams:ort and force them to quit work. Nevertheless, lh.ere -were fewer men at work today than yes terday. Contradictory reports come from the Schuylkill region, 'one to the effect, that the strikers at -Moreaj after being out two days, had decided to return to -work tomorrow, .but that is sald-to be In credible at headquartejis. , . , Tho mine operators, after generallV maintaining a 31ence for several day's, ore -showing a disposition to talk for puh lieatlon, and as a result several state ments from their side are prlnW.

Marching began in earnest there todav. The marchers werp peaceful, however, and they succeeded In inducing several hundred men to quit work temporarily at least The. Reading pwnpany is getting .ready to reap the honest presented co it by the tie-up in the other coal districts. .Nearly all of Its collieries in the Schuyl kill region have- been working three-quarters time, but orders were today issued placing them on full time, and henceforth ttu ine mines win oe operuxeu i iuu ca pacity. Even with this extra output, the company cannot supply the demand, and it7sfirvd".notlce bn. the"West today that extraordinary orders could not be filled. Meanwhile reports are coming from all parts of the country of large increases in the price of coal to consumers to keep the orders down. Calvin Pardee, owner of the Lattimer and Harwood collieries in the Hazleton district, in an interview today said: "Under no consideration will tho opera tors yield to the United Mlneworkers. It will be a fight to a finish, and the operators will win. So far as I am per sonally concerned", I have ordered the mules to ba taken out of the Harwood mlno and put to pasture. I am preparing for a long strike. "So .much has been published about the small' wages paid to mlneworkers that I desdre to make a statement ehowing tho average earnings of aD employes at the Harwood and Lattimer collieries. At Har wood, from 26,000 tone of coal Bhlpped In August, thb net "earnings of the 740 em ployes for that month amounted tx $29, 4&i 53, or an average of ?10 05 per capita. At the Lattimer colliery 34,000 tons of coal were shipped in August. We have there S22 employes. Their earnings were $31, 509 21, or an average of $3S 33 per capita. The miners are better paid than tho aver age workingman." EFFORTS TOWARB SETTJMEBIENT. Mount Carmel Operators Wiling; to Adjust Grievances. SHAMOKIK, Pa.; Sept. 19. The most important development of the coal miners' strike which has occurred since Its in ception was "the effort made today by a committee of miners employed at the Natalie colliery. Mount Carmel, who aro in close touch with the operators who control that mine all New York capital-ists-to secure a settlement. They came here this afternoon to consult with sev eral leading mine officials as to the best method of effecting their object They said that the operators they represented ar willing to adjust the principal griev ances embodied in the demands of tho Hazleton convention, and they are anx ious to get their proposition to National President Mitchell. It Is believed that, If they can effect their object, other operat ors will follow in tho same line. One thousand miners employed at five collieries owned by the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company and Indi vidual operators ceased work today In the vicinity of Mount Carmel," compelling the stoppage of the operations. This makes the tie-up complete In the Shamokln re gion, excepting the Locust Gap " and North Franklin collieries, operated by tho Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Com pany. Conl Shipments Falling:. READING, Pa., Sept 19 One feature of the coal situation tonight is that all ship ments to the "West have been cut down considerably, and that they will become smaller In that direction as the product from the mines becomes le'ss. The de mands of the local trade along the At lantic seaboard are so enormous that every carload is needed in the Reading Company's own territory. Western cities have sent- In enormous orders, and it is now recognized that they will be the first to suffer If a combine should be made. It is thought there will be a falling off In shipments at the end of the week. Policing the Collieries. POTTSVILLE. Pa., Sept. 19. Captain. Daniel Christian., of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal Company police, tbnlght marshaled 100 deputies , at thlsf 'place. Part of the force was sent to the North umberland 'region. More will be sent to morrow to protect the Philadelphia & Reading mine workers in the upper part of the region. The Reading Company In tends thoroughly to police Its collieries, In order that the strikers will not be able to interfere with miners who wish to work. 1 THE NATIONAL LEAGUE, Brooklyn-St. Iiouls Game Ended-ln a Row.

Robby jumped up, and after throwing the ball at Gaff ney, rushed up and- struck him on the chest with his fist The umpire swung his mask at the player, just grazing hl3 nose. He ordered the big catcher out of the game, but he refused to go, and McGraw backed him up. After waiting the customary time, Gaffney declared the game forfeited. .McGraw withdrew his men from the field. McGlnnity and Jones were the opposing pitchers, and the .game promised to be Interesting. Brooklyn had scored a run on a homer by Jen nings in the first and another In the third on Farrell's double, McGlnnlty's sac rifice and the play above-mentioned, while St Louis blanked, although they gave indication of batting hard, having made five hits to two for Brooklyn.

It Was Successful iu Getting: Out the Vote Split in Democratic Party , in Montana. -MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept 19. The first -test of ihe primary election law, so far as is known in the West and. one of the first in the country was made yester day in this (Hennepin) county. It was a great success in getting, out the vote, a total of 35,000 votes- having been cast In this city against 33,912 In the regular elec tion of 1B98. .The law worked smoothly and with little confusion. Candidates were nominated for Congress -and all county and, city offices. , The comment of tho Journal (anti-Ames) Is as follows-: "The results of the first trial of the primary election lawu under which Voters nominate by direct vote Instead of by a representative In convention, are 'some what mixed. The vote was surprisingly and gratlfylngly large. More votes were cast at the primary election yesterday than were cast at the regular election two years ago. . The. significance of .this Is un derstood when It Is borne in mind that OF THE CITY. a primary election seldom brings out half of the regular vote, and sometimes riot ' over 1 per cent of It "The result of the vote on mayor is also , a surprise. Dr., Ames secured the Repub lican nomination for,mayor. No one will. coniena mat ne coum gei.tne nomination In a Republican convention. Ho does not get the, nomination .by Ropublfcan .votes.
