HA7.LRTON. Pa., Sept. 21. -Tho Lehigh
region today seemed to concern Itself moro
about the possibility of trouble than any
other one thing. Wherever ono went In
this district tho belief was general that
an outbreak will occur. Thero was, how
ever, no outward evidence anywhero that
such a thing Is likely. This feeling was no
doubt produced by tho disturbances nt
Shenandoah and tho arrival In Ilazleton
and on the north sldo of largo numbers of
deputies, who nro said to bo prepared for
any emergency. It was known that all the
coal companies In tho district had In
creased tho number of watchmen around
their collieries and It was known that n
small mini bur of deputies had been dis
tributed through the south sldo by Shcrllf
nrlslln of Carbon county, but nothing much
was thought of this.
Tho deputies who nrrlved nt Freelnnd,
twelve miles north of hero, during tho night
from Wllkesborro nro said to number about
200. They wero distributed along tho pub
lic road between Freelnnd nnd Jeddo. At
noon n carload of them arrived In this city
ever tho Pennsylvania rnilrond nnd later In
tho day several squads of deputies canio
Into tho city.
Thero wero fewer cases of vlolcnco to
day thnn on yesterday, when the mlno
workers In various parts of this section
were attacked on their way to nnd from
work. The presonco of tho Increased num
ber of watihmrn nnd deputies may have
accounted for this improved condition.
As to tho strike situation itself thoro
wns no noticeable change today. President
Mitchell today Issued figures showing the

1IAZLF.TON, Pa., Sept. 21. President
MlWhell tonight Issued the following open
letter to tho public:
Fully conscious of tho vnst public In
terests Involved by the great contest now
being waged between organized capital and
underpaid labor, and as much 1ms been

The striking miners recognize ns their
real opponents In this struggle for a, slight
amelioration of the hard grinding condi
tion of the miners' life nine railroads,
which, with their presidents, are: Penn
sylvania Hullrond company, Alexander J.
Cassatt, president: Lehigh Valley Knllroad

Theso nine railroad corporations, be
sides producing approximately TJ per cent
of the hard coal, oru the sub' carriers to
the tidewater or all coal mined in tho
anthracite region of Pennsylvania, nnd for
this service of carriage a charge from
10 to GS per cent tier ton, aecurdliiK to
the size of tho coal, la made. Incredible
as It may appear, they charge three tlineM
as much to cairv a tun of anthniello coil

exorbitant nre the rates that the legitimate
prollts which should be credited to tho
mining departments of these railroads
nre absorbed bv freight rates and as a
conseqience their conl properties are made
to show a small prollt on their capitaliza
tion. Position of Independent Miner.
If this Is tho state of nffalrs with the
railroad mining departments, what Is the
condition of the Independent operators? Is
It not n matter of reason that he can do
nothing whu h his railroad master will not
commend? Is It not a matter of public
notoriety that he does do nothing that
the railroads do not sanction? There
lore, whether or not individual operators
see In tin- rnilrond monopolies their great
enemies, whether or not tho Individual
operators fuel themselves free to make
common cause ngalnst these railroad s
tems, I, spiaklng for the lao.nitfi mine wot It
ers this dny on strike, recognize thest
railroads m our real enemies ami naino
their presidents as the men responsible for
refusal to arbitrate or even confer tii'on
the differences which have grown up, not
between them nnd tin organization 1 rep
resent, but between them and their own
employes, who through delegates selected
by themselves, met In convention, In the
city of Ilazleton on August 23, and framed
a list of grievances which were mailed to
the general superintendents of tho mining
departments of these railroads, accom
panied by nn Invitation to meet In Joint
convention on August 27 for the purpose ot
discussing and If poslblo ngreelng on such
changes In the scale of mining and condi
tions of employment ns wero warranted by
the conditions of the coal Industry. Hut
to our rhagrln anil disappointment the
cordial Invitation extended was not even
acknowledged by those In charge of tho
coal departments.
These grievances, which the miners re
cited in their circular, formed the ground
for the present ftrlko und because the rail

absurdity from a IiusIikms point of view
to even assume that Markle or any other
Individual operator could continue to py

This Is n light of all for lach and w a
for all, and to be successful there iihhi !'

go without saying nt this late dav that I

employes 10 per cent. It Is understood from
advices received from Philadelphia last
night that tho advance will begin Im
mediately, from this morning. In fact. The
effect of It upon the strike situation will
bo far-reaching, nnd, according to operators
who were seen hist night, It will tend to
undermine the strength of tho whole strike
movement.
Since ISltfi the output of these mines has
been restricted bemuse of an agreement
entered Into by the operators whereby the
output of anthracite was divided nfter the
manner of a railroad passenger pool traffic.
It Is said by those conversant with the ex
isting situation that the Resiling company
will not hesitate to break the agreement.
In point of fact, tho opinion Is expressed
that operators whoso mines are closed down
are willing that tho agreement for tho time
being should bo set aside, and aro even
parties to the policy of wage increase which
has been decided upon.
Tho motive which Induces this attitude,
according to report, Is thnt tho operators
who are mostly' Involved In tho strike are
Imbued with tho Idea that the Heading's
output, supplemented as It will be by large
quantities of coal from other mlno3 not
yut shut down, will eervo to avert nny
really marked coal famine, and that thereby
the knowledge will be impressed upon the
strikers that tho anticipated scarcity of fuel
and consequent public suffering will fall of
realization.
In making tho 10 per cent advance In
wages tho olllclals of the Heading company
do not look on it ns a concession by tho
company. The men of this company nre paid
on a sliding scale, or, in other words. It the
price of coal ndvanccs, the earnings of the
miners aro increased accordingly.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 21. An nbsolutc
denial was made today by General Manager
Henderson that the Philadelphia & Hcndlng
Coal nnd Iron company had increased Us
wage to the mine employes 10 per cent.
The report, said he. was evidently duo to
the company nu reusing its working hours
from seven and one-half per day to nine.
"This means," said Mr. Heudert.on, "that
tho men nre making really about 20 per cent
moro money, but there is no ch.iugo In the
rate of wages except that tho men ure work
ing longer hours nnd nro consequently mak
ing more money, Tho rnto remains the
same."
