(Anocfatvd Pm-sh Leased Wirt.) PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29. Tho mine mule in the next 48 hours is expected to forecast whether the anthracite suspension which goes into effect Monday at midnight Is to be long or short. If mules are brought to the Bur face for the shut down. It will signify the belief that the mines will be closed a considerable time. If mules remain below It will indlcte the operators' expectation of a brief suspension. Mules are to be brought to the surface, however in parts of dis trict number 1, the largest of the three union principalities, say ad vices from Wilkes-Barre. Opera tors and miners have agreed after 24 hours deadlock on terms of employment for the 10,000 main tenance men who will remain in the mines to prevent flooding, cave-ins and deterioration. They will be secured against replace ment by monthly men on company payrolls, and will receive any pay increase that may be subse buently negotiated, retroactive from September 1. .
