Alfred l.. Shapieign, officer OF the
building association, said last night:
'It goes without saying that the battery
was organized for the purpose OF acting as
a civic guard on occasions OF need. This IS
pia;nly one. or why should there be posse

force. I believe that the militia is intended
for actual service. not as an ornament. An
appropriation is made by the State for the

COAL STRIKE Is OVER.
OPERATORS ACCEDE TO THE DE.
MANDS OF MINERS.
Conference of Operators at Philadelphia
Arrives at an AGreement-Wil AboI-

The conference between the individual
coal operators and the representatives of
the big coal-carrying companies with a
view to bring about the termination OF
the anthracite coal strike was held in
the private office of President Harris OF
the Reading Railway Company at Phila-
delphia. The meeting was secret. The

about practical uniformity in the
advance of wages in the several

The Tehigh Valley company, in whose
region me sliding scale is also in opera

same course as authorized in the state
ment issued by the Reading company.
This applies to the Schuylkil region,

turn to work at better wages.
