AMONG THE COAL COMPANIES
The rumor was circulated during the afternoon that
discrimination had Leen made by the employees OF the
Delaware, Lckawanna and Western, the Delaware and
HUDSON Canal Company, the Pennsylvania Coal Com
pany and the New Jersey Central Railroad to suspend
work at six O'Clock. reporter OF tho HERALD called
at the principal Offices OF these corporations, but
learned that nothing definite known ON tho sub.

perhaps. better informed than the others dosrous

At the headquarters of the New Jersey Central Rail-
road the reporter informed that been
received from their superintendent agents along tho
limo indicative vi the intention the strikers but the
company were prepared Tor the worst and would
sder themselves fortunate II they escaped from the
general metfe.
plo all was likewise serene, no news having been CON-
municated calculated to disturb their peace OF hind.
II was not regarded probable that the coal mon would
engage In the strike because they had interests at
stake and nothing was to DO gained by such move
ment.
Similar vicws were expressed BY tho President of
the Pennsylvania Coal Company, who added that II
would make NO difference to his company whether the
men struck or NOT They had not half The reason to
complain that the company had, aud II would afford
the initer good excuse Tor suspcnding work alto
gethcr at time whom it did not pay expenses. Tho
best o feeling existed between the managers and the
employees, and ho cause why, as sensible men,
they should allow themselves, from merely sympa-
thetc considerations, TO be dragged into present
railroads aud alter whilc common sense would die
tate TO both parties what course should be taken in
spirit OF compromise.
