A CONFERENCE.
The Position of the Miners in Relation to
the Reading Strike Defined.

READING, Pa, Jan. 10.-Chairman John
L. Lee and William l.. Lewis, master
workman of the National Miners Assem-
bly,, held a conference with prominent
Knights Of Labor Sunday night, in rela-
tion to the strike. The session lasted un-
til nearly midnight. Chairma Lee
stated yesterday, before leaving the city:
81 feel that we have this strike in our
hands All of the Reading RAILROAD Com
pany's collieries are practically idle
They are making the show of running
several of their mines with hand full Of
men, but they are neither selling nor
shipping a ton of coal. Beginning with
to-day not an individual mine will be in
operation. The miners of the Wyoming g
region have not been called upon to strike,
but they have promised financial support.
If it is necessary to call them out to win
the strike, they will respond to man; !;
but no such order has yet been issued. If
it is absolutely necess sary, for the Reading
miners to win, every miner will be called
upon to strike, and our assurance is that
they will all come out if call led upon"
Mr.. Lee added that he had been assured
that the knights In this city were heartily
with the order at large in demanding the
reinstatement of all the men discharged
after the strike had been declared off. and
that if they did move they would move as
one man. In this connection, however, it
may be stated on the other hand, that
the Reading knights, numbering two
thousand, have reiterated time and
again that they would not strike,
and this is the situation to-day. The
shops are working, and there are no indi-
cations of strike, though they will give
all the financial help they can. Knights
here say that in refusing to strike they
obeved the rules of the order, as Chair
man Lse had no authority to order a
strike, which could only be ordered by
the district assembly or the general exec
utive board.

THE READING STRIKE.

Matters Becoming More Serious Every
Day-Reading Officials Hint that Over
lures Not Demanding Too Much Would
be Met.
READING, Pa, Jan. 10.-At seven O'Clock
last evening the Reading officers had no
account of any trains as having left for
down the road. 1t looks as though ma tiers
were becoming more serious every day.
The business men in Schuykill County
and throughout Eastern Pennsylvania
will call on President Corbin this
week with view of urging a
compromise with the striking miners.
A prominent Reading road officer
intimated that if the men showed a
proper disposition, and did not expect too
much, he thought the trouble would be
settled within the next ten days. There
is little doubt that the trouble would have
been adjusted by this time were it not
that the miners have become mixed up
with the discharged railroaders. There
can be no settlement on any terms unless
they recede from this position.
The furnaces in the vicinity are still in
blast, and it is said the company will en-
deavor to furnish them with sufficient
coal to bridge over the trouble. The Read
ing company are shipping large quanti-
ties Of pea and buckwheat coal down the
road to supply its locomotives. They
have about sixty thousand tons at their
chutes in this city. Some fifty men were
employed in loading cars yesterday.
Several of the furnaces south of Reading
are experimenting with coke, and if
successful i6 is likely they will use it al
together. Some of le rolling mills are
also making changes so as to burn soft
coal. Most Of our mills here have lots of
orders on hand and can not afford to shut
down. The Reading Iron Works and
Henry Clay Furnaces received forty cars
of coal Yesterday.
