REGISTRATION DAYS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. DO NOT FORGET. SURPRISES IN STORE FOR MINERS SOME COLLIERIES REFUSED TO TAKE UNION MEN BACK AGAIN. MUCH INDIGNATION THERE ARE, HOWEVER, MORE VACANT PLACES THAN MEN IN REGION. Many of Miners Will Work Night and Day to Overtake the Demand.

Wilkesbarre, Oct. 1 was resumed, this morning, in the collieries which have been idle since May 12, and some 115,000 men went back. Not all of these were taken in, some of the mines not being in a condition to work. They will be taken in as soon as possible. The operators plan to rush coal out as fast as the miners can do it; all men who can work and for whom there are places will be engaged.

Many mines will work double night and day forces to overtake the demand for coal. Many men are making decided objec-1 tions because they have not been given their old places and find non-union men in them. The companies tell them they can take what there is or get work elsewhere. Men who are not employed at one mine can get i it at others, and it is apparent that instead of some not being able to get work, that there are more places than men. Those who went outside the region during the strike are returning in large numbers, and within a week several thousand are expected to report for work.

The only men not sure of places are the engineers and firemen, and while many of these find non-union men where they worked, they are told that they can get other positions in the mines. The outlook is that in a few days, or a couple of weeks at most. conditions will adjust themselves, and there will be no men idle. UNION MEN LOCKED OUT.

Tears streamed down the of some when they realized that now that the strike was over there was no work for them. Their dinner pails had been filled, this morning, from the scanty larder, and some carried to work with them the last morsel of food in the house, as one of the miners acknowledged to your reporter, as he turned to go home. Manager Crawford has carried out his threat, made months ago, when he announced that his mine was ready to resume work, and only a few of his men returned to work. At that time he said: "We are ready to work now, but the men are not. When they 1 get ready to come to work, there will be no work for them." SET UPON BY MOB.

Scranton, Oct. 23. -A crowd of non-unionists who were employed at the Dodge mine, were set upon by a crowd of strikers early last night as they were leaving the colliery and several severely injured.
