PENNSYLVANIA.

Wilkesbarre, 81. There was large meet
ing of the miners to-day to hear a speech
from John Siney, President of the National
association, upon the advantages of all mi
ners uniting with that organization. Large
numbers signed the constitution Just before
the meeting adjourned. miner of the
Wilkesbarre company said great dissatisfac-
ton existed among the miners of that COM
pany, who are out of work, caused by the
employment of 800 men to fight the fire in
the Empire mine and the non-psyment by
that company as yet for December. He said
| OF that company if the wages due for the
months work are not paid between the 18th
and goth of the following month, they should
stop work until paid. A motion that a de-
mand be made for payment between this and
Saturday was unanimously carried. The
failure of the company to pay by that time
will be followed either by the men who are
fighting the fire to continue or else an open
rupture between them and the men who are
idle. 1t is now pretty generally conceded
that the miners will not stand out for the ad-
vance as some days ago demanded and also
that they will not submit to any reduction
but are willing to resume work at the basis OF
1873 when the companies are ready. 1t was
asserted to-day that the miners at the New
port works were told yesterday that they
might go to work at once at last years ba-
sis, that they accept and begin tomorrow.
About three hundred men are employed
there.
