Great Rejoicing In the Min.
ing Regions.

Philadelphia, Oct. IS. - The great
| strike of the anthracite mine workers
Of Pennsylvania. which began Sept.
| Ia, practically ended yesterday when
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
| and Iron company and the Lehigh Val
ley Coal company agreed to abolish the
sliding scale in their respective regions
and to grant an advance in wages OF
10 Per cent. net, the advance TO re-
main in operation until April /. 1901,
or thereafter. This action meets the
demands of the Scranton miners con-
ventinn. The decision was arrived at
after Il conference between representa-
tiveS OF the individual coal operators
and the large coal carrying cOmpa-
MES. The conference began Tuesday.
Due to the Individual Operators.
This action was the elimination of
the recent meeting of the individual
operators at Scranton following the
mine workers convention in the same
city. Nearly all of the collieries in
the coal region had. previous to the
mine workers convention, posted no
tees granting an advance of 10 per
cent. The mine workers in consider
ing this demanded that the sliding
scale in the LehiEh and Schuylkill dis
trictS be abolished, the increase to be
guaranteed until April 1, 1901. and all
other differences be submitted to arbi-
tratioh. The individual operators
agreed to everything. and the ap-
pointment of a committee to induce
the Reading and the Lehigh companies
10 abolish the sliding scale and make
the wage increase permanent followed.
Complete Victory for the Men.
1t is conceded that the result of yes
terday'S conference iS Il complete vic
tory for the men. All the demands of
their convention are acceded TO. and
as one of the individual operators
put it after the conference.-the op-
orators 90 Il little further in agreeing
to maintain the wage advance after
April /. This same operator who re-
dueSted that his name be not used.
said in speaking of the conference:
