SCRANTON, Pa. Oct. 21.-There was
the widest demonstrations Of JOY here
to-day when 1t was ascertained that the
strike had been finally settled and that
the men will return to work on Thurs
day morning. The business men at
once began to prepare for the boom
that they expect and the miners turned
their attention to getting their tools
ready to take back into the collieries.
At the mines In this vicinity there Is
the liveliest kind of hustling to get the
collieries ready for the resumption on
Thursday morning. The mules are be-
ing shod. and the inspectors and the
fire bosses are penetrating to all the
chambers to see that the mines are safe.
Dangerous places are being propped up,
the falls are being removed, and the ma
chinery oiled and in some cases re-
paired
A great majority of the steam men in
this vicinity went back to work after
the strike. and SO there will be only
small percentage in the Scranton dis
trict who will be out OF employment
after this week.

NEW YORK. Oct 21.-The presidents
of the coal-carrying railroads received
the news from the miners convention
just before their usual weekly meeting
in the JERSEY Central office.
All OF the coal presidents expressed
their pleasure that the strike was
over. Asked If all the strikers could be
taken back. and if there would be no
discrimination in favor of the men who
remained loyal to the company, Mr.
Baer said:
You can answer that question for
yourself by reading the proposition we
submitted to President Roosevelt 1t
outlines our position very clearly"
Speaking for my company" said Mr.
Truesdale. we will take back every
one of the $4,000 men who left our en-
ployment and no questions asked"
Other presidents said that every
available bit of rolling stock that can
be pressed into the service will be used
to bring coal to tidewater as soon as
mining is resumed. The general opin-
ion was that by November l the normal
output may be reached.
