Sept IS Today finds the strike situation among the forty three thousand mine workers of the Lacttawanna region practically unchanged from yesterday when the complete tieup of the region was recorded The mining superintendents are as nearly dumfoundedV over the matter as can be They never dreamed of so tremendous an uprising and ridiculed every statement concerning the number of men organized by the United Mine Workers declaring in the most em- phatic terms that not more than 10 per cent of the men were dissatisfied and would venture upon a strike More than that number of men and boys representing the employes of the Dela- ware Laekawanna and Western and the Delaware and Hudson Company in the north Scranton section alone were present- at a mass meeting yesterday afternoon which Fred Dilcher member of the Na- tional Executive Board and Timothy D Hayes for many years a miner addressed superintendents were for the most part in communication with the New York offices of their companies this morn ing and before noon they will hold their daily session to consider new mean3 of overcoming the defection of the mine workers They had hoped yesterday by the tactics of putting in operation one or two of their mines according to the force of workmen in their employ who would report to make a break in the strikers orgajiiziiLlcn which might prove fatal They fallen uiul lOW a new course must to planned but what it will be no one knows for Within the past twentyfour hours the superintendents have become very secretive and none of them want to say anything This morning there was a rumor here that from New York would within a few lays perhaps before the week passes come overtures for a settlement by The Delaware and Hudson announced to- day that as soon as there is demand for any of its product they will provide it and will find the workmen to do it with and furnish protection necessary to keep the men employed This is the first threat of the strike Already a number of striking miners are leaving the Lackawanna Valley for the soft coal regions A party of sixty went out on an early morning train to Anthony British Columbia where they will work in a mine of which James Wilson formerly- of Duhmore near here is superintendent Many others have taken out their transfer cards here ready for an emergency WYOMING DISTRICT SITTJATION Futile Effort to Operate the An WILKESBARRE Pa Sept the West End coal mine at Mocana riua not a pound of coal is being mined this morning in the Wyoming or the Lackawanna districts The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre collieries arc practically shut down although the company has some men moving about outside the work- ings At Pittston the Pennsylvania Coal Com- pany is making no better progress The do9ntor two men who turned up and wanted to work were employed but did nothing except clear up outside run cars up and down The West End miners however pursued the even tenor of their way regardless of the fact that all around them the district- is on strike They say they are content- ed to work as long as can get work The only fesir is that the Pennsylvania will refuse to haul the coal they The few isolated cases of violence were not repeated today The men who went to work were allowed to go without mo- lestation although some of the women jeerfed at them as they passed and ex- pressed their opinions in vigorous lan- guage The cbnipanies are swearing in a number- of men to act as special policemen at their mines and will keep them on guard night and day to prevent any interference with the work of pumping The first move of this kind was taken this morning by the Parrish Coal Company where recently a strike took place and conflict between union and nonunion men followed The strike leaders are arranging for mass meetings here this week at which and District President Nich- ols will make addresses The leaders of the locals are also making efforts to keep the men employed in one way or another and Are arranging games of baseball be tween the union workmen at the various breakers The strikers here did not fully under stand the situation in the lower part of the region until this morning when they read the papers They are not ji bit dis- couraged and say the men in the Lehigh and Schuylklll districts will all he on strike within a few days as soon as they realize how solidly the men of Lxizerne- ami Lackawanna are organized The manager of the Nottingham breaker today reports that an attempt to burn the breaker the largest colliery in the an thracite district a mile below Plymouth

That Labor Troubles Are JJat to Greed and Insolence o CiinituliMtN Advocates the Enactment of Law VliI U Will Make the Amicable AdjCKtmciit of msrcreheg8 Bet yecn Employers and Employes Com imlsory A Lack ol Cordiality James 31 Gilbert Chairman oC the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration of New York today testified before the Industrial Commission on the subject of strikes The witness stated that the principal cause of all the labor troubles in the was the jinwillingness on of the to recognize trades unioqs In this connection the wit ness said Capitalists and employers are opposed to the organization of labor in trades unions and only tolerate their existence because they are powerless to prevent them The reason for this opposition to unionism Is that the employer recognizes the fact that the employes who act individually in their efforts to secure higher wages or better conditions of employment are at a decided disadvantage as compared with those who are sustained by a union oCjndivIdual In- terests V Many of those who give employment to labor absolutely refuse to consider any- thing but their own and will recognize no rights In this way there is only one to the case and the capitalist is The witness then stated that in rare instances labor troubles were caused by unwise leadership on the part of the workingman but that these so Infrequent that they were of Aiiciher cause of strikes and other trou- bles between labor and capital was given the witness as a lack of te tween the employer and his employes In this connection Mr Gilbert said capital is prone to be selfish and is inclined to treat labor as it does the raw material upon which it works Capital to deal with the laborer at arms thus creates a feeling of distrust The witness then testified as to how he believed the differences between labor and capital may best be settled In this con- nection he said the most rational solu- tion of labor differences liesiin thiS of agreements between employer and employe in other words arbitration This method of settling strikes presup- poses the right on the part of working men to organize their right to know the facts concerning the true condition of the trade which may be involved and their quality as men with their employers The witness then spoke some length on to get capital to arbitrat- es it always desires to dictate its own At this juncture tl witnesS was by a member of ta XJominissioiT what remedy he could saggcsC ToFlFhls condition of affairs He replied by soying that there should be arbitra- tion and in this connection1 generally willing to any rea- sonable demand and by ry arbitration capital would be required- to do the same The witness then went on to say lhat each State should have a Board of Ar- bitration and that its members should be composed of an equal representation from labor unions and the capitalists They should be civcn final in all strikes and th witness Relieved this would put an end to the greater ma- jority of labor troubles vMr Gilbert then made a statement regarding the number of strikes In New Jfork during the past three years In this connection he said There was an increase of 70 per cent in the number ot strikes in 1SS0 over 1SSS and in the current yeafc theprppor tlon has been about the fannie The witness said that in each case the labor- ers were compelled to strike for either higher wages or shorter hours This was done he said becaus capital was enjoying an advance In for com- modities which it was willing to share with labor This ended the examination and the presiding officer of the Commission an nounced that on tomorrow the Hon H H Lusk a former member of the New Zealand Parliament would be examined- on the labor conditions in his country OF FOREIGN for IMaciiiff thc eriiism

the strike situation among the fortythree thousand mine workers of theLacttawanna region practically unchanged
from yesterday when the complete tieupof the region was recorded The miningsuperintendents are as nearly dumfoundedVover the matter as can be They neverdreamed of so tremendous an uprising andridiculed every statement concerning thenumber of men organized by the UnitedMine Workers declaring in the most em-
phatic terms that not more than 10 percent of the men were dissatisfied andwould venture upon a strike
More than that number of men and boysrepresenting the employes of the Dela-
ware Laekawanna and Western and theDelaware and Hudson Company in thenorth Scranton section alone were present-
at a mass meeting yesterday afternoonwhich Fred Dilcher member of the Na-
tional Executive Board and Timothy D
Hayes for many years a miner addressedsuperintendents were for the most
part in communication with the NewYork offices of their companies this morning and before noon they will hold theirdaily session to consider new mean3 ofovercoming the defection of the mineworkers They had hoped yesterday bythe tactics of putting in operation one ortwo of their mines according to the forceof workmen in their employ who wouldreport to make a break in the strikersorgajiiziiLlcn which might prove fatalThey fallen uiul lOW a new course mustto planned but what it will be no oneknows for Within the past twentyfourhours the superintendents have becomevery secretive and none of them want tosay anything
This morning there was a rumor herethat from New York would within a fewlays perhaps before the week passescome overtures for a settlement by
The Delaware and Hudson announced to-
day that as soon as there is demand forany of its product they will provide it andwill find the workmen to do it with andfurnish protection necessary to keep themen employed This is the first threat ofthe strike
Already a number of striking miners areleaving the Lackawanna Valley for thesoft coal regions A party of sixty wentout on an early morning train to AnthonyBritish Columbia where they will workin a mine of which James Wilson formerly-of Duhmore near here is superintendentMany others have taken out their transfercards here ready for an emergency

Expert Testimony Before the Industrial Coiiinussioii
31 Gilbert Clinlritittn of theState Hoard of 3IedlitIon aiid Ar-
bitration of 3feiy YorkvSays ThatLabor Troubles Are JJat toGreed and Insolence o CiinituliMtN
Advocates the Enactment of LawVliI U Will Make the Amicable
AdjCKtmciit of msrcreheg8 Bet yecnEmployers and Employes Com
imlsory A Lack ol Cordiality
James 31 Gilbert Chairman oC the StateBoard of Mediation and Arbitration of NewYork today testified before the IndustrialCommission on the subject of strikes
The witness stated that the principalcause of all the labor troubles in the
was the jinwillingness onof the to recognize
trades unioqs In this connection the witness said
Capitalists and employers are opposed tothe organization of labor in trades unionsand only tolerate their existence becausethey are powerless to prevent them Thereason for this opposition to unionism Isthat the employer recognizes the fact thatthe employes who act individually in theirefforts to secure higher wages or betterconditions of employment are at a decideddisadvantage as compared with those whoare sustained by a union oCjndivIdual In-
terests VMany of those who give employment
to labor absolutely refuse to consider any-
thing but their own and willrecognize no rightsIn this way there is only one to thecase and the capitalist is
The witness then stated that in rareinstances labor troubles were caused byunwise leadership on the part of theworkingman but that these soInfrequent that they were of
Aiiciher cause of strikes and other trou-bles between labor and capital was given
the witness as a lack of tetween the employer and his employes Inthis connection Mr Gilbert said capitalis prone to be selfish and is inclined totreat labor as it does the raw materialupon which it works Capital todeal with the laborer at armsthus creates a feeling of distrust
The witness then testified as to how hebelieved the differences between labor andcapital may best be settled In this con-nection he said the most rational solu-tion of labor differences liesiin thiS
of agreements between employer andemploye in other words arbitration
This method of settling strikes presup-poses the right on the part of workingmen to organize their right to know thefacts concerning the true condition of thetrade which may be involved and theirquality as men with their employers
The witness then spoke some lengthon to get capital to arbitrat-es it always desires to dictate its own
At this juncture tl witnesS wasby a member of ta XJominissioiT
what remedy he could saggcsC ToFlFhlscondition of affairs He replied by soyingthat there should be arbitra-tion and in this connection1
generally willing to any rea-sonable demand and byry arbitration capital would be required-to do the same
The witness then went on to say lhateach State should have a Board of Ar-
bitration and that its members shouldbe composed of an equal representationfrom labor unions and the capitalistsThey should be civcn final inall strikes and th witness Relieved thiswould put an end to the greater ma-jority of labor troubles vMr Gilbertthen made a statement regarding thenumber of strikes In New Jfork duringthe past three years In this connectionhe said
There was an increase of 70 per centin the number ot strikes in 1SS0 over1SSS and in the current yeafc theprpportlon has been about the fannie Thewitness said that in each case the labor-ers were compelled to strike for eitherhigher wages or shorter hours Thiswas done he said becaus capital wasenjoying an advance In for com-modities which it was willing toshare with labor
This ended the examination and thepresiding officer of the Commission announced that on tomorrow the Hon HH Lusk a former member of the NewZealand Parliament would be examined-on the labor conditions in his country
