NEw York, April lG.--A POItsYille
Pa, dispatch says that the secret Of III;
long continuance Of the strike and thI
miners living 80 comfortably and keeping
up so bold front, lies in the credit sys
ten heretofore pursued by the merchants
II was impossible ut the outset To refuse
to trust regular customers who had paid
promptly, and as no one knew how
soon the suspension would end, mer
chants were obliged to keep on throwing
good money after bad in the hope thai
u favorable turn would bring it all back
but q crisis Is ut hand. The wholesale
dealers have taken the alarm and are re-
iusing to sell goods to this region except
for cash, aud without fresh supplies the
retailers will soon have nothing for their
customers. One firm Of general dealers
has credited $4,000 during the strike
and many others have from $1,000 To
$1,000 on their books, John Sinney,
President Of the National Labor Associa'
tion, is quoted as saying that tho strike
Is on its last legs.
The Philadelphia Il Reading railroad
has adopted the plan Of running an en-.
ginc ahead Of all passenger trains, and
found an advantage in so doing.
Tho miners are very sick Of the con-
test, and are leaving in considerable
numbers. Not enough will leave to make
any material difference in the quantity Of
coal mined.
