COrbin Will Not Yield.

LITTLE GOOD EXPECTED FROM THE BUSINESS MEMS
APPEAL TO HIM-MINERS LEAVING THE REGION.
The joint committee OF Reading councils and
board OF trade last night sent long memorial
to President COrbin, asking him In the name OF the
business interests OF the entire Schuykl valley to
use his best efforts to settle the miners and rail-
road troubles. The memorial starts out by saying
that what the signers present is not given in the
spirit OF dictatiOn, but they only call attention
70 such needed action In the present troubles as
they have reason 10 believe in existing emergen-
cies escapes the notice OF the cOntending parties
The opinion Is universal at Reading that President
Corbin has assumed position from which he Will
not swerve, and that neither business mems CON-
mttees nor the sending OF memorials such as that
OF the board OF trade and city council Will do any
good. The experiment OF using bituminous or soft
coal on the Reading railroad engines is not proving
q success The locomotives cannot make their
best time.
A Pottsville dispatch says: Gradually the appre-
hensiOn OF protracted strike is crystalizng into
settled conviction. Even the most hopeful OF a
few days ago are now disposed TO yield 70 the be-
lief that the unwelc0me experience or 1875 Is
about to be repeated IN this region. Many OF the
miners OF this region fully convinced that the sus-
pension here will be q long one, are leaving and
iinding employment in the wyoming and Clear
held regions.
