WORK NOT YET RESUMED Boasts Openly Made that Any Min- ers Golng to Work This Morning Would Not Return Alive, By Associated Presa. - Shenandeah, Pa., Sept. 24.— There was great excitement here last night and the strikers made as- sertions that may lead to trouble when aitempts are made to open the mines in the Schuylkill district. Boasts were made that any miners who should go to work this morn- ing would not return to their homes alive. The aim of the Reading company officials is to break the force of the strike in the anthracite coal region .| by getting a fair supply to market. The trouble as it now stands has” cut off 85% of the product of all the mines. The Reading company's al- lotment is 21%,and this can be filled with the collieries only on part time. With the aid of the military it is in- tended to push work at every mine if possible, but this can hardly be lished at the gi of the trouble. The officials assumed that because their men had few grievances, ex- cepting in the matter of wages, they could continue to operate their mines. The action of the rioters hese and a change of sentiment among some miners have cast doubt ‘on’ this point; ‘but itis well known. ‘that many of the. miners” in the. Schuylkill region want to continue at work, A majority who do not belong to the union may be kept from going back to their employ- ment today by the dread of assault, Floods are Subsiding» 4 ‘ (By Associated Press.) 8 Calcutta, Sept. 24.—The floods following the recent tremendous tains, inundating the country tor miles are slowly subsiding.
