The Baltimore Hsraid has the follow
ing statement relating to the great Read
ing strike;
The men, who were until recently
working in the coal seams, made what
NAV be termed a compromise with their
masters several months ago, having de-
manded an increase Of pay ana Deeh
granted a concession on the understand
ing that if the owners OF mines IN the
Lehigh district did not advance rates on
or before January / the Eew grant should
be discontinued and the old rates re
established.
When the time came the Lehigh men
had not succeeded in getting what they
/ required. and therefore, according 10
agreement, the Reading men ought 10
have gone back voluntarily to the old
rates. Upon advice Of the leaders OF the
railroad strike, it is alleged, they would
not agree 10 again accept the wage
standard formerly in use because the
railroad officials had refused to keep 10
an agreement made az 20 arbitration Goa
c%erning the discharge Of a group Of
workers who refused to comply with tie
cOmpany's orders. From THIS statement,
which is believed 10 be correct. the Diff
Guilty now existing in The Reading coal
fields is the result: Of advice given in the
first instance by certain organization
| officials who were not miners and neyer
had been.
4 correspondent OF the London Tf@
points to the fact that emigration from
Great Britain TO the United States is and
has been for some time increasing. Il
far surpasses the Irish at pre-eni and
comes close to the German, which heads
the list. There came 99,Sj2 persons from
England. Scotland, and Wales in 1856,
and from ireland 52,S5S. During the
first nine months Of 1887 there came from
Great Britain i07.3fo and from ireland
81, 40f. The correspondent asserts also
that there is q concerted movement
placed on foot 10y organizations for Brit
ish naturalization in the Jnited States.
Hitherto the Irish and German immi-
grants have generally become naturalized
az soOn as the law would permits
/ some cases II l. asserted sooner. Not so
Wifh the Fnclishmep. The latter now
are following the eyample OF the Others
and becominr an imp6rtant considera-
ton in the matter OF balance Of political
power. If the correspondent inf0rma
ton is correct " there are now 900 Brit
i.h sorirties in this country actively en. /
