Strike Of the Coal Miners-An Al.
tempt by the Managers 10 Bull the
Coal Market-Thousand OF Men ont
of EmpIoyment-TroubIe APpre-
hendest. ..rrs a. wstE.ga

SCRANTON, Pa, December 6.-The
miners do not hesitate to say that the
strike has been originated and brought
about by the managers for the purpose
Of bulling coal At this moment be
tween 10000 and 10000 miners are out
of employment in this country, and as
fast as the news flashed over the wires
the members Of the Miners and La
borers' Benevolent Union, commenced
enrolling in the grand army Of strikers.
This Society is composed Of Welsh,
Irish, English, Am ericans and Germans,
and has over 10000 membersall bound
by the result of the meeting of the Grand
Council, which refuses all compromise
with the managers. Y s B
The Chief Clerk Of the coal depart
ment of the Delaware, Lackawana and
Western Railroad, says that. the com
pany has 10000 tons Of coal on hand,
which is distributed in the yards at
Scranton, Port Washington, Hoboken,
Elizabeth, Syracuse, Buffalo and Ithica,
and in transit at-Great Bend and New
Hampton Junction. The three great
companies which control the anthracite
region are the Delaware, Laokawana q
Western, Pennsylvania, and Delaware
& Hudson Canal Coal Company. They
employ nearly 10000 men, including
the brakemen and laborers employed on
the several roads which transport coal
All of the latter sympathise with the
strikers, and are necessarily out of em-
ployment when the miners, are not Of
work. .
Much excitement exists and the ctr
zens are greatly alarmed. Liquor Is
freely used and trouble is apprehended;
The Union has fund Of 100000, all
of which the strikers will expend rather
than submit to the injustice sought to
be done them and which they say is
only scheme to raise the price of coal
after which the companies will acceed
to their demands.

The RAILROAD CROSSING MArTER.-The
Rockford raiload engineers yesterday, were
at work surveying g line for crossing at or
near the point designated by Mr.. Gable, to
see where i, CAD mos: efectually be made.
No conference between Mr.. Cable and the
Rockford people had been up to noon to-day,
since the one with the committee Of Council
in Mr.. Eggleston's Office. Mr. Gable asks,
besides the establishment Of the of cross
ing below Eagle street, that the Rockford
road reimbur him for any precuniary
outlay in protecting his TT ack cost of watch
men during the night, injunction process, etc
This Mr.. Young, we understand, has 8 gni.
fed his willingness to do, as soon as the
point of crossing is definitely adjusted.
The point where they attempted to cross on
Sunday, is without doubt the best for the
Rockford road, as it will obvists the Deces
sity of additional switches, and can be
made with but little curve. The injunction
still rests, and will, until a motion is made
and sustained to dissolve it.

The Union is again on the anxious seat.
This morning it puts in piteous plea TO be
made city printer-not that its finances are
getting short, By no means. But it can do
the city printing so much better than any
one else. 1t can print ordinances so that
people can know what is done with them
We insist that our neighbor cease making
itself ridiculous BY such carelesness. The
ARGUS of the evening before published the
Council proceedings IN which WAS the
ordinance and the action of the Council
upon 1t. But then it is small matter,
and the Caion is forced, by the sick and
anxious Office seekers to say something in
order to keep up their courage, and. OF
course, the mistake is overlooked. We
would advise it, however, TO say as little
shout city printing as possible, because
there are some ugly looking bills on file IN
asst years Council proceedings. Better
stick to that CRY OF financial statement from
the Mayor" and "the ferry improvement
They are only worn threadbare, and will
stand few more turns, or. if it must have
something new, let some Of the managers
