The delegate, discussed The question at Issue temper
,Iy and ipteleeuiI, but insisted demanding living
,rogcs FOR their labor Representatives from oil the
mines reported TIE feeling 40 their homes. The men,
bcv assert arc pclcrahlc and laT-abiding, but firmly
5sterncd to resist any reduction Of their wages ns
proposed uy Tho operators TIE Union officially denies
tbe report published In Philadelphia paper that they
,.eitated riot. FIRM ground Was taken by the asso-
,ou against any railroad interference IN the working
0; size W B. A., and II was furthermore unanimously
agreed that tie Mnrr Union shall not Teccdc from the
bash OF 1902 which is g for the lower and IS for the
uppor counties
An amendment offered by John sncy President Of the
schuylk Union providing that the scale III ms county
Do made % slide down 10 g co. defeated by sigun
can vote showing that he hardest pressed OF the
socaned strikers are IN earnest and mean to abide
by their determination
Great excitement vas caused during the deliberations
By the receipt Of dispatch from f. T. GOwen' Presi-
dent Of tho Reading l;arOal announcing that tolls on
that line would be advanced 70 Sc tun. This Is ac-
eeptod as an indication uf hostility TO tho miners and
reconciliation ia, Therefore, further of than ever
OF the 81 cJJ the SIX coal counties, It Is shown
by the delegates report, that IN Luzcrue all are idle
save few working the isC) basis. In Carbon all are
IDLE while n Northum1 rlaud most OF the men are en-
gagged on the basis Of 1861 SchuylRl suffers most as
but few are OF work. while numbers aside from the
G1ikers are prevented from WORK by the Philadelphia
aDl Reading Railroad Company.
AT present the Union Is aiding many o. It's members
practically, aud, cOscq Iencc the funds are running
low. The general outlook is ominod' after the decisive
action Of to-day unless operators and railroad mon como
promptly 70 afactory basis nearly as possible
- accordance with the needs 81 the miners. Tho leaders
o. the W B. A. declare themselves powoross to control
90 iu this matter, were they so disposed The
Cow scale they cain ruiaouS to tho miner, who re-
ovos less for cutting the coal from tho mines than the
carter who dumps % in the cOa-hoie IN NcW-1 ork
