No Suffering Among Strikers.
Shenandoah. Pa. Aug. 25.-Reports
received at brigade headquarters
yesterday showed the entire anthra-
cite coal field to be very quiet. Briga-
dicr General Goblin said that q settle
ment Of the strike appears TO be as
far off as when he arrived here
nearly four weeks ago, The troops
will. in all probability, remain here
until the strike comes to an end.
The reports that strikers and their
families are suffering from want
throughout the anthracite regions are
pronounced fabrications, circulated by
the operators in their efforts to break
the ranks of the strikers The ON
cials of the locals have announced
TO their membership that all who re
quire assistance win be relieved. ani
they assert that If any Of them are
in need it is owing to their pride
which prevents them from declaring
their condition. But any one visiing
the mining towns viii fnd them aa
free from squalor and poverty as al
any other time. The miners are wei
housed, well clothed as n rule, and
eating three meals day as regularly
as in times when the mines are work
ed in fun force.
