COAL STRIFE STILL IMPENDING
Some of the Causes for the Present Dis
satisfaction.
READING, Pa, Jan. 2.

hEADiNG, Ia, jail z.
A miners strike is imminent Sunday,
meetings of labor assemblies were held in
many places, and their proceedings show that
unless the company agrees TO pay the eight
per cent. advance on the 50. .50basis, the min
ers will, in all probability, go out. They
have been receiving this eight per cent. ad-
vance up to this time, but the company, as
shown by President Corbin's letter on Satur-
day, proposes to take this off.
Mr.. Laliy, president of the Miners and
Laborers' Anal lgamated Association, today
received an additional telegram from Repre-
sentative Daniel Duffy, in which the latter
explains that by the existing basis he means
the eight per cent. advance above the Old
basis and that the miners will only resume
work on Tuesday, on this condition. 1t is
learned from trustworthy sources that ind-
yidual operators, as well as the Reading com
pany, will refuse to pay the adva zee.
Information from Shamokin Shenandoah,
Mahoney City and other points confirm this
sentiment. Some believe, however, that
work will be resumed.
The troubles among the ralroadcrs en-
gagged in moving coal are not entirely over,
though the officials say that they have the
strike well in hand. Eight crews out of
thirty were working at Shamokin on Sun
day. Those at work were all new men. All
the crews were at work at Gordon, and one
thousand freight and coal cars were hoisted
over the plane. At Mahogany plane the
strike is still on, and only four crews out of
twenty usually employed, were at work
The men are very angry because of the dis
charge of Master Workman james Reilly.
He was a conductor and very popular
throughout the coal regions. He was dis
charged because of his activity in the labor
world.

Order Generally Prevailing.

READING. Pa, Jan. /.
The Reading railroad handled on the mair
line during Sunday and Sunday night, 3l72
loaded and 3075 light coal cars, besides l2+2
loaded freight cars. Trains are all moving
slowly. This virtually cleans out the coal
regions of all the loaded coal cars. From
now on, the shipments will be very light.
President Anthony Lally, of the Miners and
Laborers' Amalga mated Association, says that
all the miners will strike tomorrow. The
feeling throughout Schuylkill county is de-
eidedly gloomy. Coal is getting scarce ev-
erywhere. There are only about 500 tons in
stock here.
Reports from Mahanoy City. Gordon and
Shamokin this morning, say that the situa-
ton is unchanged and that the strikers are
getting ugly. The non-union hands are being
guarded by the companys police force.
There has been considerable stone throw
ing in the vicinity of Locut Summit, but none
were injured. The strike is not over by
any means. Serious trouble is not unlikely
before many days. The strikers places at
the Crossing were promptly filled this morn

MAYOR HEWITT
Stl Urges the Better Protection OF New
York from Contagious Diseases.
New YORK, Jan.

NEW YORK, Jan. ?.
Mayor Hewitt sent letter to the governor
today, stating that neither this city nor State
nor any other portion of the union is free from
danger, from the spread of contagious dis
eases, under the present quarantine regula-
lions of this port.
His opinion is based on the report of the
board of health of the city, which he also
transmits to the governor. He recommends
that the governor submit the report to the
Legislature for action, with view to improv-
ing the arrangements at the quarantine sta
ton.
The report of the board of health says
there is a want of accommodations at Hotf-
man island, while the sanitary arrangements
are inefficient. Persons affected with disease
are insufficiently sequestrated and the seats
are not properly separated. Changes in the
disatfectlng rooms and various sanitary I'M
provements are suggested. The erection of
a wall of solid masonry around the island
with dividing walls or iron fences, is pro-
posed.
