"VnXKEfBARRE. Pa-. Juns I The strlks
of the engineers, firemen and pumpmen
employed In tbe anthracite coal collieries
for an eight-hour day at present wages
was Inaugurated at 7 o'clock thi morn
ing. There are conflicting reports a to
- number of mea that are at work. The
' workers' official claim that full
tt ceat of the mea obeyed the strike
, but the companies dispute these
figures.
The mining superintendents of the big
coal companies ssy that reports received
from their owa collieries and those of Indi
vidual operators show that the pumps as
a rule are in operation today. Tbey admit
that a great majority ot the firemen quit
work and that large numbers of pumpmen
and engineers also refused to report, but
tbey sdd thst in nearly every operation
enough men were on bsnd to fill tbs
strikers' places.
The entire region wa reported to be very
quirt today, which condition grestly re
lieved the apprehensive feeling that has
prevailed the last few days. It is the belief
of both Bides, however, thst the struggle
ha Just begun and theer 1 no knowing
when or where an outbreak will occur.
That there will be some disturbance is not
doubted.
A local authority says there are em
ployed In tbe Sf7 collieries In tbe anthra
cite region 1,070 engineers, S.Z00 firemen
and 1.425 pumpmen, and, according to cus
tom of the union la the coal regions, each
local" had a committee on duty at day
break. Their duty principally wa to finfi
out the number of mea who reported for
work and wherever possible to get their
names. These committees lster la tbe
day reported to their respective locals and
the work of persuading thoee who went to
the mines todsy to stay out.
Nearly every mining operation 1 sur
rounded by either a high board fenoe or a
barbed wire barrier, and it wa. there
fore, next to Impossible to get a "line" on
what was being done within the enclosure.
Bcfaec ta Give Os. Final ea.
It was a btiey day In the general offices
of tbe big coal companies la this city. The
entire office forces were on duty at aa
early hour, prepared for any emergeacy.
None of the companies were willing to
give out figures. One superintendent said:
We do not care to show our weakness.
neither do we want to betray our
strength."
The same superintendent said:
"We have received reports from ei ei vune
of our coileriee which ere scattered through
ne coai Den mom Bcranton to rjnamomn.
tVe have also heard in a general war from
the other companies. All that 1 can aay is
tnat ail our pumpa are workinc Meat or

TJerccntage of pump runners and engineers

rtrikera will do. We hope, however, that
the men who have remained loyal and
those outsiders who came to our rescue
will not allow themnelvee to be intimidated
by the strikers who will surround our
works like a picket of aoldiera.
Strike headquarters waa a dull place to
day. President Mitchell had nothing to aay
regarding today' move beyond the tact
that they were satisfactory. He promised
to give out figures lster in the day tf be
geta enough to make up a statement cover
ing the general situation.
MttrheU lasaca Btateaaeat,
At noon President Mitchell Issued the fol
lowing statement:
Reports received from every tmnortsnt
mining community Indicate that where the
eight-hour day has not been conceded fully
Mi per ceot of the firemen, pumpmen and
engtnecro here cesaed work. The number
will be msteriaJly Increased tomorrow. In
aome section, mine foremen have posl
tlrely declined to perform tbe work of
engineers, firemen and pumpmen. In s:ms
piaoee foremen hsve manned the pumps
and clerks have also been required to per
form this labor.
A perfect srmy of Irresponsible men have
been employed by tbe coal companies to
act aa coal and iron policemen. The serv
ices of these men are unnecessary rnd their
presence unwarranted Toere nave been
no violations today by the mine workers
and I am eacgulne there will be no overt
acta on the part of the, strikers.
In reply to a question after Issuing his
statement Mr. Mitchell eaid he knew of na
mine that Is being flooded aa a result of
the action of the union today.
la explanation of the first sentence of his
statement Mr. Mitchell said that several
of the Individual operators had conceded
the demand ot the men during tbe laat
ten days, but not one of the big companies
had done so.

CHICAGO, June 2. The beginning of the
eecond week of the strike of tba teamsters
of the big packing houses shewed a little
better situation. Tbs com j of yesterday
by which tbe packer repletdah-ed all their
meat stations shout tbe 1ty, with tbs ex
cepticn of Fulton market, perplexed tbe
strikers a to the next move to make.
Early thi morning nonunion men continued
tbe work of yesterdsy and carted consider
able quantities af meat, aader heavy police
protection.
The strikers. In turn, ars expecting th
ice drivers to ceme te their aaelstano.
Fear baa been expressed aver the possi
bility of a clssh when tba union and non
union men come la contact, but Mayor Har
rison has taken precaution te prevent any
rioting. Tbe situation at the stork yards
remains rather stable, because of the action
of commission men in advlstng stockmen
ta restrict their shipments. Much anxiety
la expressed over the curtailed meat supply
at the big hotels and fish and poultry ars
being need aa much as possible.
Swift and Company succeeded today in fill
ing their elation at Fulton -market under
police protection. Several other firms
moved meat ta tba markets la Booth Water
street. President Golds of the Team
sters' anion expressed himself as pleased
with the iii ogress of the stalks and pre
dicted a victory for the ergaalsation by
Thursday . i
Hwc1 Canada Its Osmrraet.
The most serious, aad at e same tima
the most helpful, paras af the teamsters'
strike developed today. The Great North
ern hotel, one of Chicago's largest hostel
rles. waa cut off Iron Its supply In the
morning, because It patronised Irwin Broa
who sell meat tor the big packers. This
pressure had been threatened by tbe strik
ers and the hotel at onoa cancelled its
contract with the big interests and will
obtain Us supply through minor packers
who bars signed the union agreement.
Strikers ssy this Is simply one tokea of
their strength and a forerunner of their
ultimata vicory.
On the other hand arbitration promise
to soive ine stnse question ana ormg oim-
cnlties to a speedy termlnatloa. Today
Frederick W. Job, chairman of tba Illinois
State Board of Arbitration, was ia con
ference with Secretary W. X Turley at
tbe National Teamsters' union, for over an
hour preparatory to bringing th teamsters
and both the packing Interests and the
Stat street department store, whose driv
ers are dissat isfied, into an amicable agree
ment. Mr. Job Intimated that he bad al
ready Interview the packer who arc hold
ing out against tht union and said!
Ws of the Bosrd of Arbitration are doing
everything in our power to bring about a
speedy settlement between tbe contending
forces. I hsve talked over the questions at
Issue with a number of the parties Inter
ested and 1 am oopeiul ot gooa results.
Tbs situation ot tbs meat consumers 1
considered much easier today. For a time
at least a meat famine is postponed. At the
branch houses of the big packer busiaea
today waa almost at a standstill. A few
market and restaurants that were not
afraid of having their ice supply cut off
sent wagons for supplies. Some of tbe big
consumers arc Blocked well with Ice and
meat and are doing nothing pending a aet
tlement of the strike. Most consumers,
however, are eking out a supply from inde
pendent houses. Walking delegates have
been notifying customer, all day that the
ice supply would be cut off at once if they
secured their supply from the blacklisted
packers.

OUTWITTED THE NEWS CENSOR

af kea-atlatteaa.
NEW TORK. June 2. A Herald die
patch from London aay that some Inter
esting stories are told ta tht morning
paper of the ruses adopted by corre
spondents to dodge the press censor la
South Afrtca la letting their editor know
cf tbe progress et the peace negotiation.
The Daily Telegraph, for instance, re
ceived from Bennett Burleigh on Whit-
mocday a cablegram with the word "Whit
suntide greetings."
When the dispatch arrived without any
official delay the first Idea was that th
transmission of such a message at full
rates from the seat of war wa a some
what superfluous demontrtlon cf polite
ness. A little reflection, however, seemed to
Indicate the significance cf tbe sea. on st
which the sociable sentiment wa ex
pressed. The editor turned, however, to the
prayer book, knowing Burleigh i well
acquainted with holy writ, and, reading
over the gospel for Whltcunday. cam
upon tb sentence: "Peace I leave with
you; my peace I glTe unto you. Not a the
world giveth, give I unto you. Let not
your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid."
"Whea we received Mr. Burleigh' mes
sage to his "brother tn Glasgow, 'Returning
fell LawBoa, we felt." say. the Dally
News, "that the moment had arrived and
that we might fairly take tbe public into
our confidence. "
The Dally Mall had a most Ingenious ar
rangement. It wa a simpl device, pur
porting to send market new, wherea It
ww la reality a code telling all about how
the peace negotiations were progressing.
Here is verbatim tba first of a long
series of cables:
Regarding purchase gold farm Paxfon
teln. All necesBary parties to contrsct
now Pretoria, whither Alt gone get bet
ter price; hsve every reason to believe
vendors .wish to aeU. .
Ths simplicity ot the device renders ex
planation almost unnecessary. Of course,
this particular Instance was but an iaolated
success for a scheme devised to meet all
possible contingencies, but It worked ex
cellently. It barely needs translation.
"Air is Lord Mllner. The vendors are, of
course, the Boers. "Paxfontein gold
farm" Is ths synonym tor peace.
