An other crowd of 800 strlkorn from the north side of Hazlcton nlso marched hero and succeeded In closing the com pany's No. 1 colliery nt Ncsquehonlng, near Mauch Chunk, before tho crowd wan scattered. Tho presence of the soldiers wns entirely unexpected and tho Btrlkers woro much crestfallen that they failed In accomplishing tin object of their long march. Tho mnrch on Panther Creek valley was on tho strikers' program for sev eral days. The United Mine Workers, over Blnco tho strike started, hnve been attempting to closo tho collieries of tho Lehigh Coal and Navigation company in tills region. Organizes were constantly In the region, but as a rule they did not meet with much success nnd It wns decided to use stronger methods to get the men cm- ployed In tho ten mines to go out on a strike. Accordingly It was arranged that a big demonstration should bo held In tho vnllcy. It was to havo boon held yesterday morning, but owing to tho heavy rain and muddy roads It was called off until this morning. ThoRo who took part wire strikers from McAdoo, Yorktown, Bunker Hill and Silver Brook, from the south sldo of Hazlcton, nnd tho Freolnnd, But ton, Jcddo nnd Beaver Meadow strik ers from tho north side. Tho women nnd girls all enmo from McAdoo, which borough Is the only one In tlio Hazlcton region which has organized fomalo marchers. The marchers came down like two armies, tho south sldo men inarching by way of Tamaqua, whllo the strik ors from tho north sldo went over tho mountains at Beaver Meadow and en tered tho Panther Creek vnllcy by way of Ncsquehonlng. Tho south side nrmy concentrated nt McAdoo, nnd tht ordor to march was given nt 10:30 o'clock last night. Thcro were scv oral Ufa and drum corps and a brass band In tho line. Tho women nnd girls wcro conveyed In two lnrgo omnibuses. Tho whole town of Mc Adoo wns out to bco tho marchers start. Until 12 o'clock tho night was very dark, It being difficult to sco nny dlBlnnce In tho mountain passes, but after midnight tho moon camo out from behind n bank ot clouds, nnd for tho remainder of tho Journey tho mnrchors had plenty of light. As tho town of Tnmaqua wns entered nt 2 ;i. in. tho strikers began to moko as much nolso ns they could In ordor to awaken tho people who wero unaware of tho coming ot tho Btrlkors. Tho mnrcho;d went through tho town without stop ping for rost, and headed for Coaldalc, four nnd n half miles away. At a point halt a mile from Conldalo thoro Is. a sharp turn In tho road and as tho newspaper men rounded It thorn enmo a command of "Halt! ' and about fifty feet In front ot them stood solid rows of soldiors, who were stretched ucross the road with bayon ets fixed. Tho sheriff of Schuylkill county wns with thorn. Tho command er ot tno troops, speaking to tho wait ing crowd, said: "In tho nnmo of tho pcoplo of tho stnto ot Pennsylvania, 1 command you to dlsporso nnd to return whence yo.i camo." Tho strikers began to protest that they could not bo stopped on u pub. He highway, nnd many of them showed n disposition to resist tho sol diers. Tho officer In charge of tho troops, however, kopt his men In po sition and tho strlkorn, seeing that tho soldiers evidently meant business, slowly began returning toward Tani nquu.

Op forators who woro Interviewed last .night and naked what arc tho pro ispects of tho anthracite rtrlke being 'settled said tho men can return to work again ao soon as they nccept tho 'offer of tho companies .to lncrcaso ithelr wages 10 per cent. Officially (they do not know of o'iy overtures (by tho strikers for a settlement on any other basis. They havo read of Itho action of tho convention nt Srnn ton, but It wns a convention of tho United Mlno Workers and they do not and will not recognize the union. Tho first official knowledgo of nny proposnls by tho strikers will bo when tho men of each compnny, represent ed by a committee, call on tho officials of tho company nnd declare tho rn'in havo ngreed to go back to work If tho oporntor8 will grant tholr requests nnd then they will submit tho resolu tion of tho convention ns n proposal of their setlomcnt. Thh Is tho only wny In which tho oporators will rc celvo nny communication from the men.

Several companies havo mndc no offer of any Increase nnd whnt answer thoy will return Is Ooubtful.

High In mlnlni? circles tho end of tho strlko Is not expcc'.cd for some time nnd then only by tho men giving In. Tho operators will stand by tholr first offer nnd say thoy will not In crease It. Superintendent Lnthrop of tho Le high Valloy company, said: 'Tho operators will not agree to continue tho payment of tho 10 per cent ln crcaso for nny fixed time. Tho other domnnd nbollshlng tho sliding scale does not apply to this region, al though tho Lehigh Valley company has somo collieries in Uip Leulgh ana Schuyklll regions which pay by that system. Hero the men aro paid by tho car. "Tho operators say. however, that tho question of tho sliding Bcalo was not discussed nt any meeting or tno operators and it was Impossible to say what they would do about it. Tho Im pression is that tho operators would not object greatly to trying a now system of payment. "As to arbitration the oporators are utterly opposed to It and will refuse It In any form. They nro willing to tako up nny grievances witn tneir men. but thoy have nlways been so, nnd this Is no change. Marklo's exporlonco with nrbltratlon, they say, has shown the follv of trying It, bceauso it is nltogcthor ontf-sldod. Desplto tho faet that each ot Marklo's 2,500 employes had signed a contract to submit to ar bitration any grievances they had, thoy all went on a strike at President Mitchell's order without trying arbi tration. Tho oporators declaro an agreement to arbitrate would bo bind ing to ono side only; that thoy would bo hold to It and tho men would not." Wyoming Millionaire Wed. DES MOINES, la.. Oct. 10.

Tho In dividual coal operators who could bo seen here today declined to discuss tho nctlon taken by tho nnthraclto miners' convontion at Scranton yes terday. Neither would they say what steps the employes would probably take. It Is evident from tholr rotlcenco that tho Individual mlno owners aro waiting to seo what tha large coal carrying rallrcadn that mlno coal will do. It Is roported In tho coal region to night thnt the presidents of tlicso roads will hold a conference In New ork tomorrow for discussion of action of tho convention. Thero was a story afloat today that tho operators will accept the conven tion's decision, but nothing has como to tho surface In this region on which to La3o tho report. Tho United Mlno Workers' offlclnls sny they arc now again waiting on tho oporators and they will contlnuo to closo up tho collieries that havo been In operation since tho strike began fou. weeks ngo. Thoro aro many reports In circulation that If tin strike con tinues much longer a break In tho ranks of tho idle men will occur. President Mitchell and 1:1s officials, however, assert their confldonco that tho men, both union and nonunion, will remain away from ;ho mines un til after tho strlko Is declared off. There Is a fear provnlent In this re gion that If some of tho mon do re turn to work troublo would probably arise through efforts of tho strikers to persuado tho men to remain on a strlko. All the collieries that are working still remain heavily guarded. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 15. A canvass of tho operators cf tho Wyo ming valloy today shows that thero Is considerable opposition to granting tho minors any more concessions than thoso outlined in tho original olTor. namoly. 10 per cent lncrcaso without any conditions. Tho Individual oper ators especially aro opposed to to tlo- lng themselves up to any agreement. Ono oporator raid tho only way tho strike can bo settled Is for tho strikers to nccept tho 10 per cent without any provisions. Superintendent Chaso of tho Lehigh Coal compnny said: "Not much dopendenco can bo placed on tho men when It comes to arbitra tion. This was shown n tho enso of Mr. Marklo. Ho favorol arbitration, but at tho behest of Mr. Mitchell his minors ropudlated tlio ngveement thoy mado with their employer. Tho de mand of tho strikers that iho operators should ngrco to pay tho Increased wages for a fixed period la too arbi trary and tho operators will hardly agroo to It."
