Signor Merlino said he only wished

Wilkesharre. Pa, Aug. 30.-The coal
operators in this section say the scale
of wages adopted by the Hazleton con-
vention will not be signed by a single
operator. Operators interviewed Oh
the question say the scale is too
sweeping, and if put into force would
reduce producers of coal to bank
ruptcy in a short time. The miners,
on the other hand. claim that the scale
is just one, and that the coal com
panies would only be giving the men
their rights by signing It.
Whether a strike will follow the re-
fusal of the operators to sign is a ques-
tion that is now being widely dis
cussed. 1t is a well known fact that
despite the action Of the Hazleton con-
vention, great many miners are op-
posed to going out. The business in
terests of the Wyoming valley are also
exercising their influence to prevent
strike. The Wilkesbarre board Of
trade is ready TO act as mediator be-
tween the operators and miners. At
largely attended meeting of the whole
