UNADJUsTED TROUBLES IN THE WYOMING
REGIoE-coHTNUAHca or THE CONFLICT
BETWEEN CAPITAL AND LABOR.
WmKEssARRE, Pa, June 81, 1876.
The pleasing anticipations INDUCED IN last week
that there would be general resumption OF work
by the miners to-day have been only partially
realized. Az has been foreshadowed IN previous
dispatches, the miners 40 not return to the col
lieries cheeriully nor as q body. They straggle
into the mines in squads, and thus relieve their
Union from all responsibility TO their future
ton. so anxious has Mr.. Parrish been TO have
his mines in operation that he mas ioregone bind
ing the Union to any agreement as to the length
OF time the men are to labor at the
reduced rate OF wages, and the men have
reserved the right TO turn out at
any time and under any circumstances. In view
OF this state OF things we mud to-day that only
about half the men employed ut the Diamond
mine OF the Lehigh ana WIlkesbarre Coal Company
are at work, fifty In the shaft and twenty-five In
the slope. few miners went to work IN the
Holenback mine and 1t Is understood that but
part or the force usually engaged at Sugar Notch
and Manamle went IN this. morning. At the EN-
pire mine, the most important collIery In this
section, and Hallenbach, No. 2, quite a serious
difficulty mas occurred between Mr.. Parrish and
the miners which promises TO keep those works
to assume full control of his mines, without regard
to the claims OF the Miners Union, and
proposes TO employ whom and discharge whom
ne pleases. In this determination ne has singled
out some OF the prominent leaders OF the strike
as objects Tor especial retriDutlon, and in the
baton oil prescribed miners is Mr.. w. II. Carroll,
President OF the Wlkes0arre branch OF the Miners
National Association.
A vlNDICTIvE ATTITUDE.
This vindictlye attitude on the part OF the Pres
ident OF o. gigantic corporation has greatly
excited and exasperated the miners all over the
valley, and may lead to some very unpleasant COM
plicatlons In the coal troubles OF tue wyoming
region. The men held meeting TINS morning
and appointed a committee 10 call on MIR. Parrish
aud present their protest against the proscrip-
ton OF any OF their number on account OF the re-
cent difficulties. The conference took place
with great at warmth. assured the ' committee
thar under no circumstances would he give en-
ployment TO Messrs. W. IL. carroll and W. J. r.
Williams, who mad been appointed on the com
rnittee The interview was sharp and decisive,
but very unsatisfactory to the miners, who with
rumored that IN the miners at the Empire
and Halenbacn mines do not promptly return TO
work some 100 OF the company's men Will be set 70
Work digging coal in the places OF the strikers.
UNADJUSTED TROUBLES.
The troubles with the miners oil the Lehlgh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Company az warrior Run, Nantl-
coke aud Grand Tunnel IL IS reported are slill
unadjusted, and the prospect Tor an early resump-
tiOn OF WORK IN these localities Is not regarded as
at al promising. Tomorrow Is the day appointed
for tho e1ectment OF number OF miners
OF the SusQuenanna Coal Company at Nanticoke,
and IL IS apprehended that some serious trouble
may result rrom the operation. Considerable ex-
element has prevailed there all day and the men
nave been called to no less tnan three meetings.
notice was put up IN the company's ONCE on
saturday, calling upon the miners TO meet there
&C ten O'Clock this morning. AT seven O'Clock the
miners held large meeting and appointed COM
mttee 10 wait on the President OF the company.
AT ten O'CLOCK The committee met the Superin-
tendent OF the mines and subsequently there was
another meeting or the miners. At three O'Clock
they held . meeting, the proceedings oil when
have not been made public, but IL IL very
evident that some important movement
Is contemplated. the Susquehanna Coal
Company Is one OF the most important and
strong corporations in the business; most or
the coal mlned goes Dy canal and tue summer
furnishes IT'S period OF harvest. To all intents and
purposes the strike has but partially ended ia tho
Wyoming region, ana IL IS evident that very
small matter may set capital and labor by the
ears again at any moment. A little more lorDear-
ance and proper spirit OF magnantmity on the
part or the great coal mOnopolists just at this
juncture would tend 10 harmonic matters very
much and make the men feel better in the sad
hour OF their defeat; but there Is not the slightest
promise that either VIII be exercised The use OF
the hard hand OF power and the crushing OF q e
poor miners against tue wal seems TO DC tue
ruling policy. The ultimate result OF This WILL be
manifested before the snow begins to ny.
