Scores of Men From Schuylkill Region Going to Europe to Await Result. Philadelphia, April 2, -Reports re- ceived to -day from the nuthracite coal fields state that the order of the miners (male committee, directing that mining be suspended until an agreement could be reached with the operators is beim* obeyed (tiniest to the man. In all three -districts preparations were made by the operators for a resumption of work this morning. Whistles were blown at the regular hour and every- thiug was in readiness for the men to go to work, but there evies no reeponse by the miners, and the day took on a holiday itepect. Firemen, engineers and pumpmen, who are not affected by the suspension order, reported as usual, but it was apparent that the score of empty coal tars which had. been hurried to the collieries yesterday would not be need- ed unless an agreement was remitter' be- tween President Mitchell and the coal presidents in their eonfeeente to be held in Nev York to -morrow. That a great many miners believe that the strike is imminent and that there will be a bitter struggle between the workmen and their employers was evidencee by the departure yesterday and.to-day of scores of miners from the Schuylkill region. A majority of these men are foreigners, who will go to their homes in Europe and there await the outcome of the pending strife. The only colliery in the Luzern -Wyo- ming district (which attempted to work to -day, as far as has been reported, was the Hozleton shaft of the Lehigh Valley Co. Coal width had been lope- ened last week was run through the breaker, for about an hour, after which the men withdrew from the shaft and returned to their homes. At many of the collieries in this dis- trict the mules were taken from the mines. thus indicating that no effort would immediately be made to 1•09111110 Quiet prevails throughout the three. districts, and as long as the men remain away from. the unines no disorder is anticipated.

Tho 58,000 miners employed in the shafts will remain at their homes, in pursuance of the steike instructions issued from the Springfield headquarters. Coal digging will come to an abrupt standstill practically throughout the State. Operators in Chicago announced yester- day that no precautions have been taken to provide for proteetion. The operators have faith in the promises of President Perry, of the local district, that order will be observed finning the strikers..
