They May Force Mitchell Call a Convention. to Sheriff Harvey Has Not Called Troops, and Will Not. f r Women and Girls Join in March With Striking Miners. PEACEFUL, PAiKADE OF THE MOB ILIZED FORCES OF MINERS WAS A MASTERLY EFFORT RESULT ED IN COMPLETE CLOSING OF THE LATTIlMER MINES. Wikesbarre, Oct. 6. Of the 75,000 miners in the upper coal field 36,000 were today offered an increase of 10 per cent by the twenty-two individual operators employing them. This offer followed that of the four big coal car rying roads. Some of the other com panies are ready to make the same ot fer, as they see a chance of the miners accepting it. The strikers are waiting for the offer to become general. If it is made the general miners will un doubtedly force Mitchell to call a con vention to discuss it. The coal carry ing companies still holding out employ 19,000 men, the individual companies employ 16,000. There is much feeling among the business men against tnese companies for holding out, as they say they are injuring business greatly. The general council of the miners' union held a secret conference today, and discussed the advisability of calling a convention. No decision was reached as far as has been learned. Sheriff Harvey says that he has not called for troops and will not. He declares that the peaceful march of the mobilized forces of miners this morning was the most masterly effort yet made. It re sulted in the complete closing of the Lattimer mines, the streets being so full of marching men for hours it was impossible for those wanting to work to get to the mines. EXCITING DA TAT LATTIMER. Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 6. Nearly 2,000 1 strikers, with .fifty women and girls, marched into Lattimer early this morn- j ing and completely tied up the two col- at that place. It wae the greatest march that has taken place during the present strike. The crowd was made of strikers from McAdoo, Audenreid, Jeansville and Hazleton, on the south -side, and from Harwood, Jeddo, Freeland and upper Lehigh on the north side. The women and girls came from the borough of McAdoo. Sheriff Harvey and a hand ful of deputies were at Lattimer when the strikers arrived and they kept the I marchers constantly on the move. I There was no disturbance at any time, the men and women being well be haved. It was the most exciting day that Lattimer has had since the tragedy of three years ago. The strikers from the south .side concentrated on the back ' road to the place. They had left their homes at midnight. The women, in cluding "Mother" Jones, were conveyed in wagons while the men walked. It was a little before 6 o'clock when the 1,000 -southside men entered Lattimer, headed by a fife and drum corps and the women. The leader of the women, who was a pretty Polish girl, carried a large American flag. They marched and countermarched on the Lattimer public road until 7 a. m., when the whistle blew for the starting of work at the collieries. A shout went up from the crowd as it saw that no one re sponded to the call. Shortly after this a faint cheer was heard in the dis- ! tance and suddenly a crowd, which proved to be the north side marchers, who had gathered on the opposite side of the town, burst through a gate on the further end of the company's prop ON MONTFORD.

They came streaming in by the hundreds and rushed down the company's railway then across the strippings and joined the south side force on the public road on the very spot where the twenty-two marchers were shot by deputies in 1897. While the men were running across the company's property it looked as if the leaders of the south side strikers would loee control of the men and they too would break and overrun the pri vate grounds, but they were held in check. If they had gotten on to the property the sheriff andhis small force would have been absolutely powerless to deal with the 2,000 cheering march ers. The combined forces, after a short rest, formed two by two, and with the women and girls in the lead, started on another parade through the town. The women marchers called the Lattimer men blacklegs and other hard names while those thus assailed remained mute for fear of being attacked. This was kept up until 8 oclock, when the marchers began to leave for their vari ous home towns. OFFER OF INCREASED WAGEiS. Scranton, Pa., Oct. 6. In compli ance with an agreement of the individ ual coal operators' association, cover ing the Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys, to give an increase in wages to their strike mine employes, the fol lowing notice signed by each operator in the association and posted for him self at the mines controlled by him was issued this morning: 'This company makes the following announcement to its mine employes: 'It will adjust its rates of wages so as to pay to its mine employes on and after October 1 and until further notice a net increase of 10 per cent on the wages heretofore received. "Note: It is understood in the fore going that powder will be sold to min ers for $1.50 per keg and that the dif ference between this rate and the old rate of $2.75 shall be taken into ac count in figuring the net advance of the price noted above for this class of work." Inquiry at the office of several of the. operators revealed the belief that the strike could not continue much longer, probably not over another week, as by that time miners and laborers will thoroughly understand the situation and realize, just what the .increase means. It is also learned that the rate applied to every condition of earn ings that held before the strike Was de clared and that this meant that the allowance for "dead work" and hard places would stand. It is figured lout that the only inequal Ities -Much may arise will be the case where one miner is able to get out more coal with a keg of powder than another, but the latter's allowance will about even this condition. Many of the strikers, in fact the great majority of them, hold that the proposal of the operators is too low to be considered. They will, however, abide by whatever action President Mitchell may decide upon. TILL AFTER THE STRIKE. Hazel ton, Pa., Oct. 6. It is not urn llkely that the Lattimer collieries will remain closed umt'il the sitTike is ended. Superintendent West lake of the com pany said the question of drawing 'the fires from heneatlh the boilers will be decided later in tthe day. i"he officials of the company said 'they did mot like the diea of risking the lives of its irm with a mob- like the one that swarmed over the company's pmpenty this morn ing. Outside the closing orVthe Latti mer colleries there 'was no change in the situation in this districtfc today. No additional individual operators have posted notices of any advance. President Mitchell today senlt) a tele gram to T. D. .Nichols, president of district No. 1, which comprises 'the Lackawanna and Wyoming region. Mr. Nichols is at Naraticoke. The tele gram reads: "We are informed that agents are employing miners to work in Arkansas and Indian Territory. Please aavise aJl miners to remain; away from there, as .the miners of Arkansas and Indian Territory have been on a strike for twenty months." i For "Want" advertisements see pag 6 a DRUG STORE NEWS. ocoo The best of all atomizers Is un doubtedly the 'Century.

TRIES TO SCARE THE YOUNG EN WITH THE NEW CALAMITY BUG ABOOS WOULD GIVE TO FILI PINOS LIBERTY AND STAND BY THEM "LIKE AN OLDER BROTH ER." Indianapolis, Oct. 6. The Bryan train pulled out of Indianapolis union depot this morning at 7 o'clock for the second day of the presidential candi date's tour of the state. National Committeeman Taggart was 'a member of the escorting party today. The first stop was made at Plainfield, Hendricks county, on the Vandalia line at 7:30. Here Mr. Bryan spoke for only five minutes. He discussed trusts and told the people that they had the remedy for them in their own hands. Refer ring to the Philippine islands he said that if it was not right for one man to steal a pocketbook it was not right for many men to steal twelve hundred isl ands. The crowd was not large but it cheered lustily as the train left for Greencastle, the next stopping place. Greencastle, the seat of the DePauw university, and a strong democratic center was reached while Mr. Bryan was at breakfast. He had Just finish ed his cantaloupe and oatmeal when the place "was anmounced, bot he left the table good naturedly and went to speak to the people who had congre gated in large numbers. He addressed himself especially to the university students, saying that he was pleased to talk to young men, as he thought the present conditions such as should appeal especially to them. He warned them against trusts as cal culated by their combinations and maniplations to materially reduce the opportunities of the rising generation if not to destroy the chances of many of them. Any system calculated to cur tail the opportunities for individual endeavor and condemn the bulk of the aspiring young men of the country to perpetual clerkships was, Mr. Bryan said, to be condemned. He also spoke of the increase of the standing army and the tendency to imperialism as subjects in which tha youth of the land are especially intereptea. Referring t"f the possibilities in case of permanent extension of our government to the Philippines Mr. Bryan asked: "If the carpet baggers steal in Cuba, only 200 miles away, what cannot be expected cf them in the Philippine? 7,000 miles dis tant?" "There," he declared you can't rais people by sitting down on them," and pleaded that the Filipinos should be given a fair chance in the race of life. He declared that the iepublicans have no plan for the Pnilippines. "Republicans, your president has no plan," he said, "your cabinet has no plan, your congress has no plan; j-our editors have no plan, you have no plan, search your head, search your hearts, you know you have no plans that you would even dare tell your neighbor."
