. THE STRIKE IS ON Mine Workers’ Offictnla Express Satisfaction With the Situation, Hazelton, Pa., Sept. 18.—" The men appear determined to continue on strike übHl their demands for justice have been acceded to. The (lumber of men now out on strike exceeds that of any other industrial contest in the factory of our country.” Such Is the statement of John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Worker® of America, made last evening at the close of the first day of the big strike in the anthracite coal fields. Each side Is confident of winning, and neither of the contending forces show any disposition to yield. With the exception of a trivial incident at No. 3 colliery of the Lehigh Coal company, where a gang of boys compelled a mule driver to seek cover by throwing stones at him, the contest thus far has been entirely devoid of violence of any kind. The exact number of men who struck eannot be told, as only estimates of the number of men who did not start to work have been made. Reports received by the United Mine Workers’ officials from the entire anthracite region are to them most satisfactory. President Mitchell last night gave out the following statement: Information received up to tonight that 112.000 mine workers are on strike in the anthracite region. Os this number 72,000 are in district No. 1, 30,000 in district No. 2 and 10,000 in district No. 7. DEATH OF ADMIRAL SICARD Gallant Naval Officer Passes Away at His Home Near Rome, N. Y. Rome, N.
