STRIKERS ANSWER.
A Sweeping Reply to President Corbin's
Ultfmatum.

4
Ultfmatum.
PoTrsvu.LE, PA, January A.-The
Miners Joint Committee has prepared an
! answer to President Corbin's statement.
The document recites the istory Of the
agreement between the mil and the
company, and says that it wasNccepted by
all parties concerned, as it could not be
expected that any person or committee o!
average intelligence would enter into an
agreement with the receivers binding ON
the men that would not be binding on the
company, and this was the view taken Of
the matter by both sides when the memo
randum was under consideration.
The miners reply continues: "Mr. Cor
bins statement that during these four
months the miners were paid, in addition
to basis wages, the sum of S24l, ,9O6 is good
evidence that for ten years hack the miners
have been paid at least that amount less
for every four months than they were en-.
titled to receive Whatever Mr.. Corbin's
information may be az to the reason why
the miners refused TO continue work after
the lst of January, we have only to say
that the miners quit work because the
company refused the advance asked for
and would not agree to arrange a
meeting with the committee for
the purpose Of agreeing 70 arbitrate
the question as was done in September
last The miners have no desire to drive
the company out Of the competitive mar
ket, nor to compel it to resort to any bus
iness policy unfair to its patrons or con.
sumers"
The committee says it is an open ques-
tion whether or not the Schuylkill miners
receive as much for their labor as miners
in other localities, and concludes: What
the miners desire is not so much simple
advance in wages as it is to establish liv-
ing basis wages for all kinds of work to be
subsequently, cquitably advanced in pro
portion 10 the prices of coal"

Discussing the Reading Strike-The Mem

bers Opposed to an Inquiry.
WASHINGTON, January 24.-The Com
merce Committee took up the considers
tion of the resolution ~ investigate the
Reading strike. Mr.. Brumm, Of Pennsyl-
yania, made statement in the interest OF
the miners. An animated discussion took
place. Members OF the committee held
that any attempt TO investigate as pro-
posed Was unconstitutional and not within
the province of Congress, and if uuderta-
ken would be unproductive of results
Final, Mr.. Anderson, OF Kansas, moved
that Friday next at ii O'Clock he set for a
vote on the resolution. Mr.. Durham, OF
Illinois, made the point that the hour OF
adjournment had arrived, and the con-
mittee arose without action. With few
exceptions the members of the committee
seem to be opposed to the proposed inquiry
either for the reason that it is not proper
subject of inquiry by the Government or
because they believe the inquiry should be
made by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.

OPINION AT WASHINGTON.
The Convention Will GO to New York for
Political Reasons.

WASHINGTON, January 2i.-The next
Democratic National Convention will prob
ably be held in New York. The announce
ment Of President Cleveland's preference
for that city made two or three days ago
was probably premature, but the fact that
the National Committee would defer TO his
wishes has been no secret in Washington.
This fact, however, will not prevent efforts
by the representatives from other cities
from competing for the honor of entertain
ing the Democratic Convention, and seve-
raj Western cities, notably Chicago, Gin
cinnati, st. Louis and San Francisco, will
extend to it most cordial Invitations.
New York is the Presidents own State.
1t is a pivotal State, too, tor the Democrats,
although it may not be for the Republi-
cans, and the beneficial effect of waking up
the Democrats of The city and State at the
very beginning of the campaign is some
thing that Mr.. Cleveland and his friends
are likely to place far above irolic by the
delegates

His Tarin Bin to be Reported in About
Three Weeks.
WASHINGTON, January 24.-Although
Chairman Mills occupied his seat in the
House yesterday, he is by no means a well
man.
1t was his first appearance in the House
since Wednesday last.
''The Tariff mill will be brought into the
House in threc weeks, or about the middle
OF February" said Mr.. Mills, last night.
TT will be drawn on the same geIeral
plan aS the last bill, but of course many OF
its features will be totally different. There
will be a great many additions to the free
list 4"
What will be the principal articles
~ am not preDared 10 say as to that.
There will be many chemicals and many
raw materials. In my judgement all raw
materials should go ON, but the eoE,Tlttee
has not taken decided action as to how ia
it will 20 in that respect. The great stum-
bling block in our way is the wool ques-
tion. believe we should have free wool,
in spite of this howl to the contrary
Texas is no doubt the greatest wool pro-
duciug State in the country, with perhaps
the exception of California, which last
year may have exceeded our figures, and
yet, as a representative from Texas, be-
lieye free wool will be the best thing that
could happen 10 US
'You don't believe this Congress would
allow measure containing sGca proyls-
ion to pass"
Certainly not. am speaking as to the
necessity OF having such law made, not
that have any hope that this Congress
will pass or even the Ways and Means COM
mittee viii recommend such bill 1t IS
difficult TO say hsw tar the committee will
90 on this subject. The irSt thing to be
done is to draw up bill which viii be
representative in its character, will draw
the full strength of the party with it, and
will be acceptable to the greater number
of industries which it affects. But it is a
question in my mind whether any bill will
be able to run the gauntlet of the present
Congress"

The Keystone is only running through a
