PEACEFUL MINERS.

COLLAPSE AND FINAL CONCLUSION or THE
MINERS STRIKE IN THE WYOMING REGION
THE MINERS UNION MAKE A VIRTUE OF
NECESSITY.
wILKEsBARRE Pa, June rs, 1875
Peace has been restored to the wyoming
region at last, and the miners here have come out
ahead in the race against Schuylki county AS
was intimated in the despatch OF last night, the
Dreliminaries between the operators and the
workingmen were settled upon yesterday after
noon, ana the long and bitter contest between
capital and labor has come TO temporary ending.
1t is understood that the basis OF the arrange
ment is concession on both Sides The men, TO save
themselves rom the effects OF the dislntegratng
clemens which threatened the existence OF the
Miners Union. made virtue OF their necessities
and concluded to 20 10 work on the terms
proposed by Mr.. Charles Parrish and the indi-
vidual operators hereabout who are embraced In
the ring OF The coal combination. This they have
done under protest which may De regarded as
sort OF eollient for the bruises indicted on their
pride In coming down so suddenly Alter so
fierce, bitter and greatly prolonged resistance to
the encroachments OF their employers, this fea-
sure OF the arrangement indicates that the miners
have no idea OF allo wing the truce in the hosth-
ties to be permanent. They Will renew the strug-
gle at the first occasion which promises success,
even In most remote degree, and we shall have
from time to time, and a. the most unreasonable
OF times, too repetition or the strikes and scenes
which In former years gave TO the inhabitants or
the anthracite coal regions such an unenviable
reputation.
A PARTIAL VICTORY.
The operators nave won only partial victory
In securing a reduction or wages at this time and
cannot count upon being able TO NIL their con.
tracts with any degree OF certainty after the
mines have been put into operation again. The
miners are greatly dissatisfied with the aspect OF
their affairs, and resume work moody and surly.
With such discontinued and intractabIe elements
everywhere distributed over the coal nelds IL Is
by no means difficult 10 predict tnat turn

OF inirequent occurrence. All the details
but from most reliable source 1t has been ascer-
tained that the operators have also conceded
something from the programme lad down by the
combination last winter; not enough, however,
TO vitlate In any degree the provisions OF the COM

darling and pet idea OF the miners Tor several
years past has oeen the basis by which they are
promised snare IN the mining OF coal when the
price exceeds certain designated sum per ton.
THE OLD BASIS.

day afternoon, agreed TO retain oasis IL ex-

had determined that It's members might return
