action of the Reading company in Of
fering an increase of ten per cent. in

cation of accepting the offer. None
returned to work at the Reading COM
pany's collieries in response to the no.
tice of higher wages, and in fact many
who had been at work there quit and
joined the ranks of the strikers. AS
result there were fewer collieries in
operat ton in the Schuylkill region than
at any time since the strike was inau-
gurated. In the other regions there
was also additions to the strikers
