SHENANDOAH. PA, Aug. 25.-Much
Importance is attached to Lieutenant
tors, who spend hours with the General
going over the strike question. After
having met a number OF coal operators.
General Goblin said to-day that he does
not see any signs of settlement. In
fact, he states that all indications point
more definitely to a prolongation of the
strike than they did when he first reach
ed here. He keeps in touch with the
strikers as we'll as the opera tors, and
may be seen daily riding over the hills
with members of his staff. Along the
read he frequently holds conversations
with miners, all of whom display a
friendly feeling toward him personally.
There is no ill-feeling here against the
soldiers and the military has become so
popular that a movement has been set
afoot to start a company in this town.
Individual operators are beginning to
display evidence of willingness to end
the strike if method could be shown
them how they could make concessions
to the men without stultifying them
selves. In speaking with members OF
the staff at brigade headquarters, some
have within the past few days stated
that If way could be suggested where
by they could give in without placing
themselves in a bad light they would
favor a settlement. General Goblin is
using his good offices towards a settle
ment and he allows no opportunity to
pass. when in conference with operators
to make a conservative plea for the men
on strike.
More Pickets Than Ever Before.
