cooperation of any nation to prevent
this. on the other hand. the mission

ANOTHER ADDRESS.
National Organizer Dilchcr issued

the washerieS must shut down. If Mo-
lence ensues. the first tilt can bc look

the Lackawan>l workings. there was a
pitched battle between two factions of

once. the other advised working out the
day. The first faction gathered on Il
knoll above the shaft and stoned the
other. The fire was returned and the
attacking party driven off Three
hours later everybody in the Diamond
quit.
ADVANCED PRICES EXPECTED.
Philadelphia. Sept. 14.-Now that the
coal market is face to face with a
strike in the upper athracite regions
the answer to the question as TO
whether the miners In the SchuylkiIl
district will strike sympathetically Is
anNiously awaited. Should the trouble
not extend TO the Schuylkill mines no
grave coal famine is to be feared, though
the colliery there could. of course. not
fully meet the normal demand, While
there was no change in the circular
prices for coal at Wholesale at tie
mines to-day the indications were
strong that an increase is to be ex-
pected In the next few days. Some re-
tail dealers took advantage of the
brisk demand and obtained as high, ms
nifty cents ton adNp,nce on coal for
immediate delivery. At the Reading
Offices 1t was stated that they are ac-
