Ordered to Work. i9 tfS3

Philadelphia, Oct. 18.The great
strike of the anthracite mine workers
of Pennsylvania, which began Septem-
Der II, practically. ended Wednesday,
when the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal and Iron company, and the Le-
high Valley Coal company agreed to
abolish the sliding scale in their re-
spective regions and to grant an, ad-
vance in wages of ten per cent, net,
the advance to remain in operation
until April l. 1901, or thereafter.
This action meets the demands of the
Scranton miners convention. The de-
cision was arrived at after. confer
ence between Representatives of the
individual coal operators and the large
coal carrying companies. The:confer-
ence began Tuesday. @''>~
+ 81, victory 1. Complete.
!. It is conceded that, the. result of
Wednesdays conference is complete
victory for the men. All the demands
of their. convention are, acceded to
and, as one of the individual operators
put it after the conference, the oper-
ators go a little further in agreeing
to maintain the wage advance after
April l., just how soon the official or
der notifying the men that the strike
is ended and to return to work will
be- issued by, President Mitchell can
only be conjectured. It is believed
here that no order to return will be
issued until a notice similar to or in
line with that of the Reading and Le-
high. companies is posted at all the
mines. ..~- ,.
The Reading company's notice
reads: ST. .,...
cit hereby withdraws the notice posted
October 3, 1900, and, to bring about prac-
tical uniformity In the advance of wages
in the several coal regions, gives notice that
it will suspend the operation of the sliding
scale, will pay ten per cent. advance on
September wages till April 1, 1901, and
thereafter until further notice; and will
take up with Its mine employees any griev-
ances which they may have"
This meets all the demands of the
strikers and means the immediate
ending of the strike.

. The news from Philadelphia spread
through; the entire region with al
most lightning rapidity. Everywhere
satisfaction was expressed by the
striking miners and others. It, is con-
fidently believed that the strike will
be officially declared off this week,
and that all the men will have
chance to return to work by Monday.
President Mitchell, of the, United
Mine Workers, when informed of the
Reading company's action, was pressed
fora statement on this acceptance of
the miners proposition. All he would
venture to say, however, was that he
would be glad indeed to know that the
anthracite operators had decided to
change the notices previously posted
so as to comply with the provisions Of
the resolutions adopted at the Scran-
: ton convention. Mr.. Mitchell de-
clined to say whether the union would
let the men return to work at those
collieries where the opera tors had ac-
cepted the miners proposition before
all, the companies had fallen into line.
1t is generally believed that the big
coal carrying railroads that mine coal
will quickly follow the Reading com
pany and grant acceptance of the
proposition and that all other opera
tors will do the same.
