The strike situation throughout th'
LackaWanna Valley remains practical
~ unchanged today, the Laokawann'
company working It's four washerie'
without molcstatlon. The coal Is held OF
the mine switches. This company u
/ believed 10 be actively preparing TO &c
one OF It's big breakers in operation By
| marshaling sufficient men for the pur
pose. Information this morning In et
! feet is that the big companies ar
prepared tomorrow TO grant conces
sions. provided that at the time the mel
are actually working and in their EN-
ploy. But there is an understandinl
that. come what may, the compromis
must not be effected through the unite'
Mine Workers. While many mine work
qrs are anxious 10 settle the strike AM
/ return 10 work regardless Of IN
| ! means BY which an amicable settle
ment is made, there is quite a stron
r sentiment 10 remain out until the unioI
is recognized and until that organlza
3 tion is satisfied that work can be re
sumed advantageously TO the union.
