Coal operators, at a meeting yester-
day, in Wilkesbarre. decided to offer
striking miners OF the Wyoming Val
ley a net advance of 10 per cent o n
wages heretofore paid, and to take up
with their employees any grievances
which they may have; powder will be
sold to miners at $3.50 a keg, but the
difference between this rate and the
present rate Of S2.75 a keg shall b,
taken into account in figuring the net
10 per cent advance. There is a dispo-
sition on the part of many Of the
miners to consent to nothing but g
complete and unconditional redress Of
their alleged grievances. Meanwhile;
the price Of coal remains high, mucf
