There has been no new cause for excitement to-
day. Matters seem TO have settled into their nor
mai condition, and the city Is as quiet as no any
time since suspension took place. No additional
developments have been made In regard
to the outbreak OF yesterday, and very little
Is said about the affair. The beaten men doing

porters to XII some one or the parties engaged In
the ARRAY there is no prospect OF Job Tor the cor

The trouble OF yesterday is very generally depre-
Gated, and 1t Is very unfortunate that II should have
occurred just at the time when there appears to be
prospect OF ending the long strike amicaby and by
an arrangement equitable to all. Still 1t cannot be
denied That the outbreak has been creature born
OF the policy OF The Delaware, Lackawanna and
western corporation and nurtured by these who
think they are doing the community o service
by exciting heart burnings and broils among
the nalonaities composing the great body OF
miners What IS known as the "aporers dodge'

TO exat national preJudiccs among the miners and
opposed the 'laborers' dodge" The same may be
SAID OF Mr. lwen, OF the pennsylvania Coal Com

devices.
