INDIGNATION MEETINGS IN THE WOODS.


pany. With . rapidly increasing demand Tor the
staple at the seaDoard has stimulated certain
parties in this section TO press matters q little
and, II possible, induce the miners or force them
to 20 10 work. Mr.. Charles Parrish President OF
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, ex-
hibits disposition TO apply the whip ana spur on
the occasion, with what result remains to be seen.
lie has recently had interview with the men
employed in the company's mines at sugar Notch,
about three miles from this city, and after discuss
ing the situation at some length, asked them II
they were willing to accept his terms and go to
work. lie was answered with most emphatic
"Nol' By all the men present at the interview.
THE OFFER or MR.. PARRISH.
Mr.. Parrish then remarked that he had kept
the mines free from water at great expense for
over four months, in order to have them ready
for operation when terms were agreed upon, and
he would continue to do 50 until Thursday OF this
week, giving the TO that time to resume
work. or remove all implements from the mines,
preparatory TO stoppage OF the pumps and
subsequent noodng OF the chambers and gang
ways. This threat by no means an idle one,
ana shows 10 what bitter pass tho present
struggle between capital ana labor mas come 10 in
the Wyoming region. flooding OF the mines
would prolong the suspension Tor at least two
months even after the men siSnify disposition
to 60 TO work, and Will bring incalcuable evils

AN INDIGNATION MEETING.
Yesterday q large meeting OF the Kingston
miners was he'd In the woods on the mountain
back OF the town, at which any amount or indig-
nation and condemnation was expressed against
the new corners and what was termed their
'blacklegu allies. subsequently q committee
waited the men lnclinea to make a break In the
existing deadlock, and such potent arguments
were used that the Danvile men were induced to
leave this morning and the Others did not dare to
brave the consequences for the present 1t was
asserted that Messra. Waterman and Beaver only
contemplated the production or coal for the iron
works III which they are interested at Danvillc,
but the miners regard their movement as only an
entering wedge TO split up the opposition to q
Cuction OF wages, and hence their active resist
ance Co it. IL seems plain that crisis is approach
ing IN the Wyoming region. The discordant
elements exhibit great uneasiness, and the break
may GENE earlier tnan has been anticipated.
MINE WORKING AGAIN.
HutcMn's mine IN Kingston is working again
to-day. ABOUT q dozen men have gone in, ami
the production OF coal Is, OF course, limited The
