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.
