Their Cause Is Hopeless, Owing TO
The Stand Taken bV The United
Mine Workers

Wilkosbarre, Pa. July 22.-Tho sta
tionary firemen's strike viii soon be
at an end. a meeting Of the executive
officers Of the United Mine Workers
OF the three. anthracite districts and
the chief executive officers of the sta
tionary Firemen's Association was
hold in this city. yesterday for the
purpose Of discussing the situation.
The United Mine Workers have all
along been kind of lukewarm in their
support Of the strike and the fircmen
insisted that they define their position.
once for all, as it was impossible TO
carry on the strike If the United Mine
Workers opposed it.
r. ID. Nichols. president Of District
No /, United Mine Workers, opened
the discussion. He said the strike
was inopportune at this time II was
detrimental to the miners who were
under agreement with the operators TO
remain at work for one year, and II the
United Mine Workers remained out IL
would mean the sacrifice of the good
will Of the coal operators. President
Fahey. of the Ninth district, also spoke
against the strike. lie claimed the
strike was inopportune a this time,
and that his men were opposed to It..
President Duffy. of the Seventh dis
trict. said the firemen In his district
did not go out on strike. This showed
lack of unity, and the strike could not
succeed.
Secretary Gerrity spoke of the fire.
men and the sacrifices that had been
made for true union principles He
said the strike had hean declared by
the unanimous vote Of 200 delegates
It was plain from the discussion that
the United Mine Workers We're over
whelmlngly against the continuance
OF the strike. The firemen realized
this. and they submitted the following
questions to the United Mine Work
ers:
/. VIII you withdraw all men OF
your organization from our positions
81 the strike is declared off? .. Will
you use your influence to have all en-.
gineers and others reinstated to their
former positions II the strike is de.
clared on? g. VIII you allow us to
meet United Mine Workers In Joint
conference and to present grievances
at the same time?
To the first two questions Yes
was given To the third this reply was
made: yes, II you join the United
Mine Workers."
A resolution was then adopted, call
ing on the grievance committee OF the
Firemen's Association TO call on eacl
coal company to-day and ascertain il
the men who went out on strike Tues
day 'will,be given back their positions
These committees are TO make a re
port to the same joint committe,
which met here yesterday and If th'
replies from the companies are ia
vorable then the strike win be on
cially declared on tonight.
The general impression is that th'
companies will allow the strikers to re
turn to their old positions. The fire
men issued a statement last night. il
which they said in part: But shoull
any one now out of employment OWNS
70 the strike be Disseminated against
the end would be as far OFF as ever
ns the frcmen are determined to stanl
by those who sacrificed their position
before they would take our places"
