NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.


HAZLETON, Pa, Oct. 3.-Another day
has come and gone without developing
anything new in the strike of the anthra-
cite coal miners of Pennsylvania. AL
though most of the big companies have
offered the mine workers 10 per cent. net
increase In wages, not a move has been
made by any Of the strikers towards a re-
sumption of work. The way the men have
thus far stood together without showing
any weakness In any part of the ranks is
considered remarkable by many persons in
this region. That break will come sooner
or later, however. is believed by many 10
be certain. 1t is pointed out that as the
strikers funds grow smaller their hope
will become fainter and they will then
accept the 10 per cent. offered by the COM
panies. But against this argument is that
OF the labor leaders who stoutly maintain
as they did before the increase was Of
fered, that the men will stand fast, like
so many rocks, against what they term
any unsatisfactory concession on the part
OF operators. Though President Mitchell
and his colleagues say they are sanguine
of their ability to keep the almost general
tie-up I'm force until the operators further
recede from their position, they are not
losing an opportunity to keep the men from
being influenced into resuming work by
rurnors of settlement. agreements, etc.
To-day President Mitchell was informed
OF the wide circulation of a story to the
effect that he had reached an agreement
with the presidents of the coai-mining and
coal-carrying railroads. and after verbally
denying the report he issued the following
.'To the Miners and Mine Workers of the
Anthracite Region:
I'VE have just been informed that the
the effect that I'm conference in New York
this morning. between the coal presidents
and myself. an agreement was reached
which will end the strike.
II desire TO notify all mine workers that
the report is incorrect. and that / have
not been in conference with the presidents
OF the coal companies and have made no
agreement with them. ] wish TO reiterate
what I said several days ago, that there
would be no settlement of the strike until
a convention of the anthracite miners is
held. You are further requested to pay
no attention to statements of this kind. and
10 continue the strike until such conces-
sions are made by the operators as will
justify us I'm calling a general convention
when you Will be regularly notified OF the
date and place in which the convention will
be held
The injunction In the above address TO
the miners ITO continue rhe strike until
such concessions are made by the operators
