The Miners.

Scrar ton, Pa, Oct. 17.-Notbing has
yet developed here since the conven-
lion adjourned last Saturday in the
way OF settllDg the strike. Each side
Is waiting for the other to lead. No
effort has been made to start up any OF
the mines here, although permission to
do so has been asked by the proprietor
of a small concern which supplies coal
for some of the public schools. 1t is
thought this request will be granted
this week by the miners union.
Sbamokin, Pa, Oct. 17.-Repairs are
being rushed in all the local colleries
and though the officials refuse to be in
teryiewed, it is evident they are max
ing preparations for a resumption OF
work. Mules for the Reading collieries
are being gathered close TO the several
mines, the pumps are being run full
force, and it is stated that nearly every
colliery would be now able to resume
operations 10 a days notice.

coded TO the demands of the miners and

None of the operators would state spe
officially what the obstacle to settle

that what was acceptable to one compa-
ny would not be to another, located 10
a different section of the hard
coal region. This difference Of
opinion, it was at first feared,
would prolong the idleness of the
miners for considerable period. The
