4 COAL MINERS STRIKE PREDICTED.

OPERATORS PLANNING TO REDUCE MINERS WAGES
DETERMINATION OF THE UNIONS TO RESIST
"A LONG STRIKE ANTICIPATED.
iTRoX THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE. ]
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.-The meeting of the
coal operators In the Lehgh region, appointed for
morrow has been postponed until the soth inst. An
effort is being made to secure the joint action OF the
operators In the other anthracite regions to reduce the
wages Of miners after tho first OF January and put tho
price OF coal down 80 cents on the ton at all shipping
points The in their tradesunions anticipating
such O movement have already decided to resist any
reduction, and q long strike Is probable In case the
operators determine to carry out the programme
suggested by the LehGh men. Under the system
established about two years ago by combination OF ali
the coalcarryng companies, tho price Will be reduced
next March about 81 per ton. reduction at this time
would not be merely anticipation Of the usual low
Spring rates, but would Indicate q conclusion on the
part Of the operators that the average price for 1874
been higher than can be maintained next year.
II the January rate is fixed at 80 cents ton below
that Or ID .ccnber, may, therefore, expect see
further fall OF nearly tl when the Season opens In
March, unless general strike among tho miners pro-
duces a scarcity. An officer Of the Reading Railroad
predicts five months strike the result OF
attempt to force down wages and that In the end
the miners would DO likely to triumph. The fact that
the same wages paid were paid IN 1872 and
1873 ID strong argument in favor OF the justico of
ducton. Tue reply OF the miners that they not
given steady work aud ought therefore, to have high pay
while employed, is met by the operators with the state
mcnt that the coal regions arc overstocked with labor
that the same amount OF coal could be taken out by
threeourths OF the employed and that steady
work for ne months In the year could be given TO that
number They say that the political economy taught In
the Miners Union and enforced upon the employers
Is that the whole number OF men who choose to con-
grcSalc about mine should share equally IN the work

Is probably the best authority on the side OF tho coal
operators profit all the anthracite sent to market
during tho year Just closing has not exceeded 10 cents
