TALK oF A GREAT STRIKE.


DISSATISFACTION AMONG THE MINERS
AND LADoRERs OF THE ANTHRACITE
COAL REGIONS.
A despatch dated Hazleton, the 10th
inst, says: The feeling Of dlssatisfac-
ton among the miners and iabores Of
the anthracite region over the question
Of wages appears to be growing and
fears are entertained that It viii culmi-
nate In general strike. President
Harris. of the Miners and Laborrs'
AmalgaInated Association. has been In
tho Lehigh region for the past week,
holding large meetings nightly and urg-
Ing the men to organize and elect delo-
gates to the convention which meets at
Pottsville on the 25ih of this month for
the purpose Of considering the wages
question and other important matters.
This convent!on viii be composed Of
delegates from every district in the
anthracite region. What will be the
outcome Of It cannot be forveeen.
President Harris says, however, that a
definite plan Of action, especially with
reference to wages, will be decided upon.
and that il the operators are hot dis.
posed TO grant tho increase which tho
men think they are Justly entitled to In
accordance with the agreement entered
into in b. 1875 between them and the
operators, some method will he taken
to compel them TO do so. he says that
the two great labor organizations the
Amalgamated Association and the
Knights Of Labor, are acting together
IN this. matter and that they mean TO
make their power felt.
On the other hand, the operators have
no fear that the men viii enter into an
organized strike, They say that there
Is no real cause for complaint and that
the condition Of the men at tho present
Is far better In regard to wages than It
has been for months, owing to the
increased demand for coal, which great
ly increases the number of working days.
Ever since the beginning of the present
year the majority Of the men have been
working on half time and verv many Of
them on one-quarter time. At present
most of them are working full time and
a strike now, after so long a period Of
depression, would be most disastrous to
them.
The miners In the Schuylklll region
think they are entitled to an advance In
wages from the fact that there has beeu
an advance in the price Of coal at Schuyl-
kill Haven of from fifteen to twenty
cents per ton, their agreement with the
operators being that they shonld be paid
according as the price Of coal should
rise or fall at that point, $3.50 being
taken as the basis price. This cause for
dissatisfaction would not apply to the
Lehigh region, where wages are paid
with IS as the basis price of coal at
New York tidal points. The operators
here say that according to this arrange
ment the men are now receiving even
higher wages than the price OF coal
warrants

The Enhances of Arizona"

We have received from the publisher, Edwin H. Hitler, of Phenex, a copy of the Enhances of Arizona" athir- ty-two page pamphlet, devoted, as the name implies, to the finances of the territory. It gives a clear and concise statement of the affairs of the Territory, its debts, valuation of property, revenues, etc. The assessed and real value of each county is also given, together with their population, amount of stock in each and the num- Der of miles of railroad each contains. By 1t Yavapai is listed as the third wealthiest county in the territory, CoChise and Pima ranking first and second respectively. Her assessed valuation being placed at nearly s4,- 900, ,ooo and her total indebtedness. at Sao4,Uoo. The county is credited with I7a miles of railroad, more than that of any county in the territory, and 75,ooo head of stock. The pub lication of a book of this kind is one that has long been needed, as it will give eastern capitalists who are and will become interested in the county, an idea of the country in which they are anxious to invest their means. The statistics, etc, shown include the dis bursemeuts and appropriations made by the late Legislature. As abook of reference, the work will be indispensi- ble. It is, in fact, condensed form of the Resources of Arizona.

GOVERNOR TRlTLE has acted upon the Territorial Stock Association's recommendation and appointed Theo.
 F. White general cattle quarantine in- spector for the Territory. The selec- tion of one general inspector for the territory does not conform to the
 strict letter of the law, but conforms
 ;ully to its spirit. This course will
 ystematize the work of keeping out infected and suspected cattle, and we are satisfied that both the plan and the gentleman recommended will meet the general approval of the Stockmen of the Territory. It is true that peevish growl has been heard from the Prescott Miner, but as the proprietor of that sheet is, Texas cal tle-owner and was prominent at the Territorial capitol last winter as an anti-quarantine lobbyist, that protest don't count. MT. White is thoroughly in earnest in this matter and there is little danger that any infected stock will escape his vigilance. He has made a careful study of our law, in connection with the Flaws of other states and territories and the several proclamations lately issued by some of the western governors, and is fully persuaded that our law is ample in its provisions for the protection of Ari- zona cattle from infected cattle.
