STRIKERS MARCH IN THE HAZLE
TON DISTRICT CARRYING FLAGS
AND .CLAIM TO HAVE INDUCED
400 MINERS TO QUIT WORK.
Scranton, Oct. 1. The trainmen of
the Lackawanna road have placed
themselves on record as refusing to as
sist the miners in their strike. One of
them stated today that imder their by
laws they were compelled to handle all
coal.
. Wilkesbarre, Oct. 1. For three hours"
this afternoon the operators and super
intendents of twenty-two coal com
panies discussed the different phases
of the strike projects for a settlement
of the grievances of the miners and the
best way of getting1 them at work
again, and adjourned without action.
Representatives of the large companies
endeavored to agree among them
selves, knowing-that the individual op
erators would be forced to follow their
lead but they could not determine what
would be the test course for each,
While he individual operators did what
they could to make the gathering more
inijarirnonious by objection to some of
the -propositions of the big companies.
The Lehigh Company's represen
tative presented a resolution for
a net increase of 10 per ceot and a
reduction; in the price of .(powder from
$2.75 to $1.50 per keg, the reduction to
be figured as part of the 10per cent in
crease, but it was not passed upon
and the meeting finally adjourned
without reaching a decision. Arbitra
tion was discussed and found few sup
porters. The question of recognition
of the union was not considered. The
Lehigh officials gave notice at the
meeting that they would post a notice
offering 10 per cent increase and to
discuss with their employes all griev
ances. MARCHING STRIKERS .
Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 1. Another
march with the Calvin Pardee collier
ies at Lattimer, five miles from here, as
the objective point, took place early to
day. About 300 striking mine workers
from Freeland started for Lattimer at
1 a. M. and a little later one hundred
strikers set out from Hazleton for the
same place. The two bodies effected a
junction east of Lattimer and marched
into the town at 4 o'clock. Each strik
er carried a small American, flag.
Their arrival at Lattimer caused a
great commotion. Nearly every man,
woman and chdld in the place was
roused out of bed. The marchers
adopted the same tactics as were em
ployed at Hazlebrook last week, going
to the homes of all non-union miners
and quietly asking them to refrain
from oantinulnig at work. They also
covered all the roads leading from sur
rounding towais to Lattimer. The
strikers claim they succeeded in getting
nearly 400 men to quit, but the com
pany officials say they did not lcse any
where near that number. Sheriff Har
vey, of Luzerne county, arrived at
Lattimer just as the mine whistles
blew for the starting of work at 7
o'clock. He found nothing to do, (how
ever,, as all the men were conducting
themselves in an Orderly manner. Af
ter starting time tlhe striker again
formed in line and inarched through
the town, after whidh they dispersed.
All was reported quiet in the' Pan
ther Creek valley this morning'. About

working with nearly the same force
of mem as on Saturday . -No troops were
sent itJhere, but Sheriff Tooie, of Scfauyl
kill county, had' deputies' on watch.
Reports from the various collieries
throughout the Hazleton. district today
show ithat practically the same number
of men were working as on Saturday,
except at . Lattimer. The' only colliery
wihere a noticeable change occurred
was at that of A. Pardee & Co., at
Cranberry, where some of the "Lokle"
engineers and some driveboys struck,
thus further crippling the working. A
"kkie" is a diminutive mine locomo
tive. When J. MaJrkle, of the firm of G. B.
Markle & Co., was asked how many
returned to work in his collieries today,
the only reply Que would make was:
"All the mines are working."
When the 'strike leaders were asked
about the ', Markle mines they said
there were very few men in the works.
The firm owns five mines and usually
employs ;2, 500 men.
President Mitchell was very much
pleased upon hearing the news frtoan
Schuylkill region that fewer men went
today in the Reading colHenies than
ever. He said the action of the men
justified his faith in them, and he called
attention 'to the verification of his prediction-
that the posting of the offer of
a 10 per cent advance on the part of
the Reading company would have no
effect On the strike, as the men had
other grievances that must be adjust
ed. LESS MEN AT WORK.
S"hamokin, Pa., Oct. 1. Although su
perintendents of the numerous collier
ies In t-hisi portion of the Ninth United
Mine workers' district attempted to
start up 'their mines this morning. A
few business people expected there
would be a .stampede of empoyes of the
Reading Coal company, owing to v.eir
offer of an increase of 10 per cent on
the net earnings of men and boys. ' If
anything less men showed up at the
Reading company's workings than at
operations owing to the strikers and
their leaders lhaving canvassed the men
thoroughly after the posting yesterday
of the company's notices informing the
miners of the concessions. ' The can
vassers pointed out that nothing was
said about a reasonable reduction m
the cost of powder, abolishment of tse
sliding scale or the granting of other
importiamt concessions.
Long before daybreak all of the
Reading company's men had determin
ed not to go to work. It is generally
agreed by most, if not all of 'the strik
ers, that "they will not lgv to work until
officially advised by President Mitchell .
There was no violence anywhere in the
district this morning.
MINERS WILL WAIT. FOR ADVICE.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 1. The strike
situation in the Wyoming Valley re
mains unchanged oday. All of the col
lieries with the exception of one at
Mocanaqua, employing 400 men,, are
tied Up as usual. It is apparent from
the declaration of the strikers and their
leaders that no action will be taken on
the attempt of the mine owners to
start itheir collieries by an offer of 10
cent dn crease in wages until word
comes from President Mitchell.
IGNORED INCREASE OFFER.
Shenandoah, 'Pa., Oct. 1. The notice
posted yesterday by the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron 'company,
announcing an increase in wages of 10
per cent to all its employes was ignored
by the strike workers and none of them
went to work this morning. It was the
kmpressdon here last night that no at
tempt would be made today to operate
the idle collieries and this feeling was
strengthened by the fact tlhat the sol
diers werenot ordered ,tb patrol the
roads at an early hour rttoday. The gov
ernor's troop and Battery C went on a
practice march at 8 o'clock but this
was not significant.
General Gohin is prepared for trouble
in the Panther Creek valley, which h.as
not yet been affected by the strike.
The fact of the strikers godng from
Hazleton last night to Lansford and
Coal Dale, both In the Panther Creek
region, led Superintendent Conner to
believe ah attempt would be made to
induce the men there to quit. At 6
o'clock this morning Superintendent
Conner received; a telephone message

DLACHBURN OPENS
HIS CAMPAIGN
Promptly Accepts Cy Watson's Invi

AN ABLE SPEECH ENTHUSIASTICALLY
APPLAUDED.
Special 'to the Oazette.
Mt. Airy, N. C, Oct. 1. Spencer
Blackburn opened his- campaign for
congress at Dobson today. The court
house was completely filled, every inch
of standing room being taken. Cyrus
Watson was in the city tto speak for the
democratic nominee. He had been ad
vertised for two weeks to speak on
Monday but on account of the date
conflicting with Mr. Blackburn's it
was changed yesterday to "Tuesday.
Watson today asked a division of time,
which Blackburn granted, much to the
surprise of the democrats, who thought
he would refuse and that they could
make big capital out of it. Watson
spoke mainly on the tariff, which he
said characterized the foundation of all
the troubles of the country. He touch
ed on the negro question. If the
amendment nad not been adopted this
time he said they would have tried
again, as - they were determined to
change the existing situation. His
thtjasts did not get a cheer or one bit
of applause.
Blackburn was greeted with cheers
and laughter continually. The ap
plause sometimes was deafening. Wat
son shot over the heads of his audi
ence and did not interest them. Black
burn spoke direct to the people. He
r reached their hearts. He said he
would; lay down business principles and
they could receive them as business
men. After the speech, many were en
thusiastic in praise of "our candidate,"
as they call him. He showed how con
ditions were better than under Cleve
land in every way. After a review of
.present conditions he asked his hearers
if they (wanted to change It. They said
no with much force. Watson in his re
ply carne back to the negro again and
got his first applause, but it was rather
weak. Blackburn demtolished every

merits of the case asked the votes of

IMP
SAYS A DESERTER
KILLED GEII. LAVTO II
Story of a Private Who Says He Saw
the Fatal Shot Fired.
Chicago, Octo. 1. A special to the
Chronicle from Salt Lake City says:
M. A. Young, a private in Troop I,.
Eleventh United States cavary, who
returned from the Philippines today,
was present When General Henry W.
Lawton was killed last December near
San Mateo. He saw the shot fired and
declares that the man who aimed the
rifle was a deserter from the Ameican.
army. He said:
"General Lawton took our troop, the
Eleventh" cavalry, as scouts when he
came down from the north to capture
San Mateo. He planned the battle for
December 19, and on the night before
at 11:30 we proceeded toward the town,
traveling twenty-three miles. We
reached the outskirts of the city at
daylight and firing began at 8 o'clock.
"I was with the skirmish line within
fifty yards of General Lawton and we
saw a man in black trousers, showing
conspicuously among the white uni
forms of the insurgent officers come out
on the tower of the church. He sur
veyed the 'ground on which we stood
very carefully and raised his musket,
and fired.
"At that instant General Lawton,
who was dismounted, moved hfls hand
across his face as if to brush away an
insect and sank to his knees.
"We found in the cfhurch about one
hundred yards of telegraph tape, which
interpreted showed that General Del
Pilar and an American had been in
command of the insurgents. That night
word was brought in from the insur
gent line thaf they intended capturing
Lawton's body. We knew then that
there had been an American in that
church who saw him fall; the Filipinos
would not have known he was dead."
