TO BRING ABOUT A SETTLEMENT
OF the Reading Strike, to be RssOrtsd to
by the Knights of LAbor-A General
Strike of All Glasses of Employees Or
dsred-Tho Last Resort.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. l4.-Every indica.
ton points to the most desperate means
being resorted for the purpose OF bringing
the strike in the schuylkill region to an
end. The three members OF the Execu-
tive Committee OF District Assembly 2lS,
Measrs. Hays, Ford and Bhtton, left
this city this morning after a fruit
less effort to secure q conference
with the officials Of the Reading Coal and
Iron Company, and the belief that they
have returned to their respective locali-
ties with instructions for general strike
on or before Saturday of all eccentric
engineers, firemen, pumpmen and other
mining mechanics, Is confirmed by the
following telegram, which was forwarded
early to-day:
TO z. Thompson, Master Workman Sub. Dirlson 70,
4fAeTg' National Diariz AHtiab!y l3D, Middle.
pOTt, Pa:
Have all engineers, fremen and pump

It Is understood that an alliance was
formed to-day through the medium Of tho
General Executive Board Of the Knights
OF Labor bstWssn Miners District 1856 and
District 2l3, whereby the two districts
were to act in harmony in the contem.
plated move. Subdivision u Ia
composed largely Of engineers and
other skilled labor about the mines,
and they are attached 10 District 1876, be-
cause they are not numerically strong
enough to form a division OF their own
within District 2l3. All OF the interests
have been harmonizsd, however, and
should the proposed strike take place it
would result in flooding all the idle mines
and cause damage which months Of time
could hardly undo,
