Wilkesbarre, Pa., Special. Strike
headquarters of the ; anthracite coal
miners were very dull Sunday and pre
sented a deserted appearance. There
were 'no mine workers about the pla c e"
excepting President Mitchell and " his
secretary. Most of Mr. Mitchell's time
was given up to hearing reports from
his men in the field. He said he has
nothing of any importance .' to '' make
public, his information being of a sat
isfactory nature. Among 'the reports
sent in were several to the effect that
additional engineers had stopped work
and that several fire bosses . who had
taken the places of strikers also had
quit. At a meeting of engineers at
Pittston, Saturday night, 30 engineers
who had not obeyed the strike order
decided not to go to work Monday.
The few union men who are still at
work, Mr. Mitchell says, will be out ;
during this 'week. Most of the general
superintendents of the big coal compa
nies were seen but as a rule they had
nothing to say on the subject: They
admitted that a good many companies
are working pretty hard for competent

The national president also talked over

had no bearing on either the West Vir
