NATION'S MINERS: 111 I I IS I'M III II' 'I'M : mim UU1 III A MAN SAYS REPORT Strike Causes Layoff Of Many Railroad Men In Anthracite Fields; No Vio lence Reported SCKANTON, Pa., Aug. 31. (Untied News) Suspension orders went Into effect on a 100 per cent basis at midnight Monday in 828 mines In the anthracite region. Wage earners for at least 500,000 women and children, laid down their tools at midnight. Very little coal was prepared at the breakers. In stead the day was devoted to "mov ing and clean-up" work. Miners took their tools from the mines. Laborers cleaned up all the coal that had been "blown down" on Satur day. Many coal companies started to move mules from the mines short ly after the day shifts ended, while railroads were working feverishly to move all remaining coal from the breakers to tidewater points. The principal questions asked as mid night approached, dealt with how long the strike would last. Long Tle-l'p Kxppctvd In some parts of the field develop ments made It appear as if the op erators expected a long tie-up. The Glen Alden Coal company, one of the five leading producers, has de cided to move all it3 mules from the mines beginning Tuesday. . The Philadelphia & Reading Coal com pany also plans to move out its mules, more than 2,000. Other com panies Bay tho mules will be trans ferred for the present. These dif ferent policies were confusing to those who always look to the mine mule as a barometer of a? sfrika's duration. 1 There will be no attempt In the near future to operate on a non union basis, one spokesman of the operators said Monday night. The state laws forbid operators Import ing non-union miners and placing them at work Immediately. Hundreds of local railroad em ployes received orders that they will be placed on the extra list lato In tho week. This means as soon as all coal has been moved out of 'the region. 1 ammmmmtmamiu .wiii..iisiir"ffTinMi DARING U.S. NAVY FLIERS ARE SAFE AND HEADED WEST ! Wireless Flash. From Mists .
