SCRANTON Pa Sept IS Today finds

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

At Pittston the Pennsylvania Coal Com-pany is making no better progress Thedo9ntor two men who turned up andwanted to work were employed butdid nothing except clear up outsiderun cars up and down

The West End miners however pursuedthe even tenor of their way regardless ofthe fact that all around them the district-is on strike They say they are content-ed to work as long as can get workThe only fesir is that thePennsylvania will refuse to haulthe coal they

The few isolated cases of violence werenot repeated today The men who wentto work were allowed to go without mo-

lestation although some of the womenjeerfed 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 theirmines and will keep them on guard nightand day to prevent any interference withthe work of pumping The first move ofthis kind was taken this morning by theParrish Coal Company where recently astrike took place and conflict betweenunion and nonunion men followed

The strike leaders are arranging for massmeetings here this week at which

and District President Nich-ols will make addresses The leaders ofthe locals are also making efforts to keepthe men employed in one way or anotherand Are arranging games of baseball between the union workmen at the variousbreakers

The strikers here did not fully understand the situation in the lower part ofthe region until this morning when theyread the papers They are not ji bit dis-couraged and say the men in the Lehighand Schuylklll districts will all he onstrike within a few days as soon as theyrealize how solidly the men of Lxizerne-

Expert Testimony Before the Industrial Coiiinussioii

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
