Dubois. Pa, Aug. 2s-General Man
ager Robinson today issued a circular
TO the Rochester and London striking
miners, in which he grants an adj
vance to 40 cents per ton net. In the
circular he says he deems it his duty
to send them a communication. as
they have been misled and misln-
formed. After explaining the position
of the company and its efforts TO OBJ
tain contracts, Mr.. Robinson says:
THE effect of the lost tonnage you
will feel Ions after these agitators with
incorrect and careless statements OF
facts have disappeared.
The granting of the advance asked
should logically result in immediate
resumption Nothing definite can be
stated. The miners have received the
communication and acted upon 1t.
