continue longer than this week. One oper
ator remarked:

fact. early last week we knew pretty well
what the convention would do. We even

quarters, and we will have to wait for it
to expend itself before the end is reached"

Saturday. President Mitchell said today:
I'VE gathered most of our information
as to what the operators are doing from

glad to appoint one to convey TO them the
result OF the convention. We have always

that any such meeting was held. Another
operator unbosomed himself this after
noon to show how the operators will in
duce their men to return to work. He
said:
ION Wednesday the Philadelphia and
Reading Company will post notices &C.
cepting the offer of 10 per cent. and the
adjustment of the sliding scale, and will
express its willingness to meet commit
tees of its employees to adjust whatever
grievances they may have. The commit
tees will be named and the strike of the
men settled in that way. The other big
companies viii follow the example of the
Reading.
THE individual operators will have to
fall in line or else keep their works idle
while the big companies are reaping a
harvest in their efforts to fill orders
which for a month or two, owing to the
present scarcity Of coal, will be very

OPERATORS MAY YIELD.
Many i'm Favor of Guaranteeing Pay
ment of the Increase.

NEW YORK, Oct 15.-Officers of the
anthracite coal companies in this city
manifested today a more conciliatory
spirit. No formal conference was held, but
there were many expressions of individual
opinion in favor of making any reasonable
concession to the miners in order to settle
the strike at once.
The vice president of one Of the principal
coal mining and coal carrying companies
said that the interests which control most
OF the mines in the anthracite region
would be willing to grant the miners re-
quest and guarantee that the 10 per cent
increase in wages offered to the miners
shall be kept in effect until April 1. He
added that IL the strike could be ended by
the companies making that concession he
had no doubt OF its being agreed to by all
of the companies and the largest individual
operators.
Information was received at the Della
ware and Hudson office during the day
that the washeries of that company near
Scranton were in operation for the first
time since the beginning of the strike.

LONDON, Oct 15-The reports from
South Africa do not indicate a speedy
pacification of the Beers. Marauding par
ties are busy in the Orange River colony
wherever there are no garrisons. They
are now threatening Philipolis. The sit
uation is little better farther north. 1t
is still unsafe to ride between Pretoria
and johannesburg.
The story of American Intervention
seems to have supplanted the promised
European aid. The irreconcilable leaders
assure the burghers that the Democrats
will certainly win in the United States
in the coming elections. and that 10000
Americans will then Immediately sail for
South Africa to oppose the British.
An incident at Lourenco Marques in
directly helps the idea Of American con-
nection with the Boer cause. The Ameri-
can bark Thomas Litchfield. at that port.
was supposed to be taking on board
s1,00o,0GO in bar gold belonging to Presi-
dent Kruger. During gale yesterday the
bark was driven ashore. The Portuguese
customs officers Immediately boarded her
and made search, but they found no
gold. The belief, however, that she did
have the gold aboard has not been killed.

At meeting Of the Central Labor Union

tion was taken when James L. Feeney,
Chairman of the committee appointed
some time ago to endeavor to adjust the
differences between the local building
trades unions, reported that all efforts in
that direction had failed.
1t was then decided to amend the con-
stitution OF the union SO as to provide for
the organization of a building trades sec
