SHALL WE STRIKE?
C0NUNORUM FOR PENNSYLVANIA
MINERS.
Excitement Over the Harrisburg Meeting
The Object Of the Strike to Stop
Production and Force Up
the Price Of Coal

PorrsvuLE, rENN., March 10.
anthracite coal region is more or less
excited over the meeting OF miners and
laburrrS tu be- held al Harrisburg to-
morrow Ia decide whether there shall
hc general strike, or not, on the 18th
ul the present month. From cOuyer
saiion had with prominent men OF the
Schuylkill region, who know the feeling
of the miners Of this section, do not
think the Schuylkill miners will agree To-
Join ia suspension. Since the llaLlc-
ton conference men from the l.uzcrne
and lchigh districts are going all
through this county, trying 10 prevail
un the miners Ia strike on the 10th =,
but So lar have not met with much en-
cUurascmeut. The Mine Inspector oi
the Reading Coal and Iron Company,
alter trip oi two weeks through the
the county, in which hc visited fifty
ui the Cumpany's COllerlcs, SAYS the
men are opposed tO a strike, and that 1t
Is the miners working at individual cot
lcries who are agitating the matter here
abuuts that they are all members of the
Knights at Labor, and doing this To
benefit themselves, as most ut the private
culicrir, are idle. and they want to have
revenge on President GuWcn by having
his miners stop.
Their excuse iur wanting a strike Is To-
decrease tho production, and thus force
up the price ot coal, ami To- try and
break up the monthly auction sales at
coal in New York.
President Bower has issued orders tu
start up all the mines on full time to-
morrow. This, with the TACT that the
miners are now paid regularly 10y the
company, will be hard blow tO those
agltating suspension. II l. said the
individual operators are putting money
forward To- enable large attendance at
miners al Harrisburg. All ut the pri-
NUtr ,ullirrIc- viii hc represented, aud
probably some uf the rumpdny's men
will be- there. ID those iIyOring a strike
are successful aud order suspension,
their action will have uu weight with
the Reading Cumpany's men, and
without them no general strike can hc

COMMENTS OF THE WEST
VIRGINIA PRESS.
The Democratic Party.


Gniton Eagle
The grand old Democratic party still
retains the respect and yeneration OF a
majority of the people OF this country,
and disappointed place-seekers and un-
prinCipled disOrganiZers may as well un-
Clerstand right now that this same old
party will flourish in all its pristine Wig
or long after their ambitious designs lie
bleaching in the political boneyard.
Sitting Down on the Register.
Grafton sentinel.
The Democratic caucus held at
Wheeling the other evening tried to sit
down on the REGISTER. That Journal
was not deemed up to all the require
ments OF an Organ, and resolutions were
introduced repudiating il, and RECON-
mendng the establishment OF another
paper which would more nearly reflect
Democratic principles in West Virginia.
The resolutions were not adopted. Not
Withstanding this savage blow between
the eyes, the laUIsTER comes up smiling
