COAL COMPANIES AGREE.
Those In Lacknwannn and Wyoming c Valleys Reduce Price of Powder.

Valley. Reduce Price of Powder.
 Scranton, Pa, Oct. 24.-Otncials repre- senting the coal companies of the Lack awanna and Wyoming valleys met here yesterday to dispose of the differences which have existed between them since the Philadelphia conference. at which the Reading company decided to aecede to the terms of the miners union. The ses- sion lasted until late in the afternoon, when the following official statement was given out as the result of its delibera- tions:
 .'In order to avoid the complications that would result from figuring the amounts due to each miner on the notices that have been posted the companies have concluded. after a careful compila- tion of statistics for the last year. to adopt a general average and sell to their miners powder at s1.50 per Leg and add the balance, PIP per cent, to the price of the ear or ton.
 This, it is considered, is not only a fair but liberal basis, as shown by sta tistics, and 1t puts the miner in a position to know exactly what he is going to get, and also in position to enable him to figure out just how much is due his labor CT and avoids the complications that would arise by handling the matter on percentage basis, which would have to be explained in detail to the miner and la borer each month.
 "As an example, on the standard dia- mond car. where the present price Is 951a cents, the new price would be 9S cents, and the miner would get his powder for S1.50 or $1.25 less than he is now pay ing"
 This notice will be posted at all the col lieries of the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western, the Delaware and Hudson, the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre, the Hillside Coal and Iron company and the Temple Rail and Iron company without delay, and it is thought 1t will greatly hasten the settlement of the strike.
 There Is a general feeling among all classes that at the conference of labor leaders to be held In Haxleton today the strike will be declared of.
