sion to-day. and discussed the anthracite situa-
lion and the strike fund which will be raised
between this and April 1. There is now in the
national treasury 100000 and in the district
treasures S2679OOO To this Is to be added the
results of a weekly assessment of 81 on each OF
the S94 600 members Of the organization II Is
expected to raise between 100000 and So OOO-
600 by this assessment. and to go into the fight
April I with fund OF not less than S5.OOOOoO.
President Mitchell will go TO the anthracite
fields March 10. and remain there till the New
York conference with the anthracite operators
five days later In the meantime every possible
effort is to be made to increase the organization
in the anthracite fields.
Wfkes-Barre. Penn Feb. 2-There is a grow
ing feeling among the anthracite mine workers
that the general strike now threatened may oc-
cur, and that the soft coal men may not only
have to struggle for the increase in wages de-
MED them by the operators. but that the anthra-
cite will have to join in this struggle TO
secure the eight hour day and the recognition of
the union. which it is now practically certain
they will demand when their committee meets
the operators In New-York February 10.
Each side is far better prepared for a strike
paredness. the strike lasted twenty-six weeks
and the production OF coal was almost entirely
prevented.
Then the mine workers had a membership in
the union Of less than 10000. Now the paid up
membership is about 10000 OF the 10000 who
are eligible for membership. Out Of the total OF
10000 workers the last three years have been
the most prosperous the region has ever had
and there are few men who have not been able
