How the Great Strike is Putting Stop to
Business,

1
READING, Pa, Jan. S.-The run Of Goa
down the road since midnight was but 5Ot
cars, while three weeks ago to-day thert
were shipped through this city $500 cars
drawn by sixIy.one engines. At the cal
shops in this city the books showed the
number Of coal cars In active service or
tho road as about 10000. Neariy all o.
these are now lying idls on the ridings in
the coal Regions.
Navigation closed on the schuylkill ca
nal on December 10, and about two dozen
bosts engsged in the coal carrying trade
each containing several hundred tons oI
coal, became ice bound. It was not eI'
pected that this coal could be moved bs.
fore spring, but now every pound has beer
bought up. The Reading Iron Work.
purchased several boat loads, and were
happily relieved from closing down.
The information received at the com.
pany's office in this city tonight is that
to.day's meetings Of the strikers showed
that there is no break in the miners
strike. Shsmokin sppears to be the hot
bed Of the present strike. It thero most
general, both on the railroad and in the
mines, and 1t Ia there where the most feel

The new District Assembly oil Reading
Rsilroaders. which met recently in Eliza.
bethport, will be permanently organized
in this city next Sunday. It Is expected
that upon this occasion the TailroadeIs
will more clearly define their position in
tho present strike.
The miners will have dslaga!ea present,
and 1t ia expected that they will expresa
thomselves with no uncertain feeling.
Chairman Lee, Of the railroaderB' commit
tee, end all OF the leaderB of the minera
strike have promised 10 attend to dele
CATION Of Knights from thie city, who had
gone to Pottsville, returned to-day and
reported that they had informed Chair
man Leo that the 1000 shop hands in this
city would not strike unless gr5a!er cause
was shown.
A Sunday tour among somo Of the
mining towns showed eremarksbla feature
OF the strike, and that 10, that the women
are Just as enLhusisstiC for the Blrike as
the men. In many cases where the hus-
bands were. lukewsrm their wives urged
them to strike. II is estimated that the
minors work only half the working days
| in the year. They make on an average
between fvs hundred and six hundred
dollars year. Many do not make more
tina. $3.50 a year. Nearly all have large
families to nupport, but most Of them live
comfortably.
After q dilisenE search this evening
among miners and others interested, the
fact is learned that the miners and Ia.
borers in the Wyoming region,
will not be ordered out on atrikeg, oven
il they received RuCh orders they would
refuse to obey them, as they nre

In the Reading Region Decreasing Steadily.
Hopes for Settlement.
READING, Jan. THE coal shipmenta
over the Reading railroad since the open
ing OF the week have decreased steadily
day by day, and this morning the com.
pany's tally sheet at the Office in this city
showed that hardly 600 cars had come
down the road from gundown laat evening
until to-day. This 10 regarded by all con-
servative parties as an indication that the
strikers are tightening their hold.
OF these 800, about 125 cars contained
soft coal from the bituminous regions.
Nearly sll the anthracite now shipped
comes from the individual collieries, the
company TeGerying the Hmall supply
mined at itn own collieries for its own use.
All the individual collieries now in
operation, however, arc not on the line Of
the Reading Railroad. Soma are on the
Pennsylvania and others on the Lshigh
Valley, and the producta Of these are
shipped over those roads.
The railroad hands who took the place
Of the strikers are being boycotted every
where. Hotel keepers refuse to keep
them except at exorbitant rates, and many
OF them and the Pinkerton detectives are
being qusrtered in old passenger cars,
especially fitted upiu this city with hunks,
stoves, etc.
The scarcity OF coal and the increased
cost Of that commodity has not ye. Te.
suited in the shutting down Of my Of the
furnaces or manufactures in this vicinity,
and the proprietors generally express a
hope tina! q speedy settlement Of the strike
will avert spch conrse on their part.
