The Strike at wtIkesbarre AImos
Ended

WILKEsBARRE, Sept. 5.-There are Indi-
cations tonight which lead to the belief thai
tue strlke In thls Immediate locality is al
most ended. This is based on the fact that
hair way compromises are being considered
by both sides. Last night Mr.. Parrish, les
see OF The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre cSal COM
might go TO work on the wages which were
PAID them when they struck on the basis OF
the sliding scale. As the price of coal is
now, this would virtually give the men an
advance OF ten per cent If they go 10 work al
once. The miners IN the employ of the COM
pany met last night to consider the PROPOSE
ton and this morning a committee waited
on Mr.. Parrish at his Office, but he left last
night at a late hour for Philadelphia and
VIII not return till tomorrow. Ia the mean
time the committee are silent as to the
nature of their reply. 1t is surmised. how
ever, that the men will demand their twenty
five per cent advance, this being the demand
since the strike. In any case it appears very
likely that a compromise of some Kind will
be effected.
