Using Persuasive Talk to Get Non Strikers to Quit. Another Quarry Forced to Close Down Yesterday. WOMEN SURROUND THE MINES AND MAKE MATTERS LOOK BAD, BUT ARE PACIFIED AND RE TURIN TO THEIR HOMES. Scmnton, Sept. 18. Although no dis orders were reported from any collier ies in this vicinity today there was a strong undercurrent of excitement, which was intensified by the announce ment by Colonel Waters that he had ordered the captains of the Thirteenth regiment to hold themselves in readi ness to respond to a hurry call. Wilkesbarre, Sept. 18. The strikers today bettered their position slightly, but not' enough to have a marked ef fect on the situation. It has made them more confident, and they continue to assert that the entire region will be shortly tied up. As nearly as can be estimated the strikers are about 12,000 stronger than they were yesterday. The operators are satisfied with this and say it is really no change. They say they now believe the strike cannot last more than, a couple of weeks and that dis sensions in the lower end district be tween the union and non-union will soon force union men back to work. The strikers this morning succeeded in closing down all the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre collieries. They also-shut down two of the Pennsylvania col lieries, which continued work yester day. There was no violence in any portion of the region, with the exception of the stoning of a driver of. the Delaware and Hudson mine in Plymouth. The com panies are taking no chances, and a number of policemen have been sworn in to protect the collieries. There is no evidence of trouble, (but if it does come some of the strikers "vjiill be pre pared, judging from the heavy sale of firearms reported by dealers. Hazelton, Pa., Sept. 18. The second day of the anthracite coal miners' strike began very quietly In this dis trict. What little change there was in this district this mrrning Was in fa vor of the miners. There was not one break in the ranks of the strikers, and in many mines there were fewer men working than on yesterday. Some of the collieries are so short of men that it is doubtful if they can continue work during the entire day. Every official connected with the United Mine Workers now in this dis trict, with the exception of President Mitchell, started out before 6 o'clock this .morning for picket duty at vari ous collieries. All had returned to headquarters by 8 o'clock and reported that they had been successful in in ducing men to stay away from various workings . A number of the leaders also reported that several of the mines are being guarded by watchmen to prevent union men from attempting to induce non union strikers to quit work. Hazelton, Pa., Sept. 18. The first march of strikers in this region took place early this morning when about 100 men from McAdoo, Audenried and Torktown,' headed by a brass band, marched through the southsire, en route to the Colerain colliery with a view to inducing the men at that place to quit work. The strikers did not at tempt to force them to suspend work, bait merely asked them to do so. In this the strikers were quite successful, as a number o! non-union men returned to their homes. The marching miners then went back to McAdoo and dis persed. A crowd of Hungarian wo- ON MONTPORD. House of 11 rooms and forge lot. One block from Haywood street. $3,500. ON CUMBERLAND. " $2,800.

Matters looked squally for a few min utes, but the women were told that tie work being done there did not Inter fere with the strike, and they returned to their homes satisfied. At Jeansville washery last night a number of men were held up on the Hazelton road while returning from work and were forced to promise not to go to the mines today. They kept their promises. Workmen of the Le high and Wilkesbarre Coal company at Audenreld were engaged this morning in pulling the fires from under the boilers at those strlppings. This indi cates a suspension of work there. Other reports from the South Side tcday give Instances of individual cases of violence yesterday against miners who did not quit work. No one was seriously hurt. SOME REFUSE TO STRIKE. Harrisburg, Sept. 18. Serious troub le is imminent at Williamstown, where 1,200 men refused to join the strikers In Lykens valley. They held a meeting tonight and decided to resist the threatened invasion of Lykens- and Shamokin men. LAWLESSNESS STOPPED. Scranton, Sept. 18. Rumors of slight' difficulties at several of the mines were circulated tonight. At the Diamond washery an engine pulling cars out of the switch was stoned. At the Clark Tunnel coal company's mine every car load of coal run to the breaker was greeted "with a fusilade of stones. Many non-union men were frightened away. The strike leaders were appealed to and put a check to the lawlessness. MOR13 MEN GO OUT. Scranton, Sept. 18. President Nich ols of District No. 1 reported late to night that hen ad succeeded in forming a union at Mocanaqua colliery. Th's collierly has continued work, uninter ruptedly since the strike was ordered, but the men will go out tomorro-v. Mine officials say with the stoppage of this colliery every mine in the first dis trict will be 'die. FEWER AT WORK. 'Philadelphia Sept. 18. If as Presi dent Mitchell of the United Mine work ers claimed last night, 112,000 of the 141,000 mine workers in the Pennsylva nia anthracite coal fields were Idle yesterday, iit is certain that this num ber has beam considerably augmented today by additions to the strikers' ranks. Reports from the four big dis tricts embracing 'the region are to the effeat 'that fewer men are at work to day than were at work yesterday and that oolleries that worked full handed or nearly so yesterday are either badly crippled or shut down today. The weather has grown nvuch colder since yesterday and this change is greeted with joy by the mine workers who believe it will greatly increase the demand for coal and thus force an early adjustment of the differences be tween them and their employers. Talk of arbitration is so persistent ithat the hope is growing that "this method of seiit'ling the strike will finally be adopt ed, although the mine owners de clare that they will deal only with their employes as individuals and the sfrike leaders say they will insist upon form al recognition of the uraion. Thi; dif ference would appear sufficiently strong to keep employer end employe apart forever if persisted in. One little band of miners in the Wy oming valley, those of the West End Coal company at Mocanaqua, number ing a few hundred men, stand out prominently as ithe only anem- at work out of the nearly 90,000 in the Lack awana and Wyoming region. Efforts to induce them to join the strikers have failed. They say they 'have always been treated kindly, they have mo griev ance, and it:hey will therefore remain loyal to t'heir employers. NO CHANGE IN SITUATION. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 18. There is no change in the strike situation in the Wyoming valley this morning. All the collieries that were compelled to sus pend operations yesterday are idle4o day. The companies had steam up some of the mines ready to start the machinery but the men did not put in an appearance. The United Mine Workers bad watchers in the vicinity of every colliery to see if any miners reported for iwork. The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal company have a small washery in operation employing about twelve company hands. The col liery at Mocanaqua operated by the West End Coal company, which was in operation yesterday, started up again ithis morning with a full force of men, the union miners failing to induce them to quit. It is the only mine in 'this district that is 'working. AT WORK AT SCHUYLKILL. Pottsville, Pa. Sept. 18. AlLM(fce Schuylkill collieries resumed work this morning with 'the single exception of Mbrea, operaed by Dodson & Oo. The Yulcan and Beck Mountain, near Ma- hanoy City are short handed, however. The Lehigh Coal company's Centralia colliery which- shut own at noon yes- teray owing to scarcity of coal, ve- sume this morning with a less number of men at work than yesteray. It is I said work will be suspended at noon again toay, or perhaps earlier. It is reported! from Nesbquehoning thaiWast . night, when Hugh Dempsey, of Scran ton, amd James Gallahar, .labor leadera, attempted to address a meeting they were jeered and pelted with stale veg- etabfes, and had. to stop National did not report for work today. i President Mitchell and Orgamdzer James will speak at Mahanoy City,, wihere a large number of mine workers ANOTHER COLLIERY CLOSED. j HaTTisbuirg .Sept. 1&.

TJie Corporation to be Called the Ashe- pe Auditorium Company and to be ncorporated for a Term of Thirty Years. The auditorium committee met last evening at the Swannanoa casino, with T. S. Morrison presiding. Mr. Morri son opened the meeting with a short talk, in which he said that the com mittee could be congratulated on the progress that had been made in the undertaking, and that It was all the result of pulling together in harmony. Df . Charles L. Minor suggested that In building the auditorium the Europe an plan of making it into a casino with a reading room and a billiard room and such places of amusement should be followed, as this being quite a resort there are many strangers in town nearly all the time who on rainy days have nowhere to go and nothing to do. There was much favorable com ment on this plan, and it will no doubt be acted upon. The committee on incorporation re ported that a drao.. of the articles of incorporation had been presented to nearly all the members of the bar of the city, all of whom reported favorably upon it. The paper was read to the committee and among other things it provided that the corporation should be called the Asheville Auditorium company; that it should be incorporated for the term of thirty years; that the amount of the capital stock should be $25,000, to be divided into 2,500 shares at a par value of $10 per share, with the privi lege to increase it to $100,000 upon the vot of the majority of stockholders, and that each stockholder should have one Vote for each share of stock held by him. The report of the committee was adopted. Judge Jones moved that a committee on permanent organization and by laws, site and plan be appointed to re port at the next meeting, and this was the start Of a long discussion on the subject. Mr. Merrick objected to it because, he said, that the site must necessarily be fixed upon before the plan is made, as the plan and the site must harmonize, and that he thought the only way to do was go ahead and become an incorporated company be fore anything else was done in the way of forming committees. After much discussion on this sub ject it was decided that the chair should appoint a committee of nine in corporators who shall see about the granting of letters of incorporation to the company. These incorporators will be appointed today by Mr. Mor rison, and they will go to work at once. On the motion of Judge Moore it was decided to appoint a committee on per manent organization and by-laws, whici- will also be done today. This will be a committee of seven.
