Lansford, Pa., Oct. 18. About
1,000 men and GO women and girls
inarched 18 miles, from tho south side
of tbo Hazleton region, during tbo
night, for tho Panther creek valley,
whoro they expected to closo tho 10
colllorlos of tho Lehigh Coal & Navi

marchora wero nearing their destina
tion this morning they wero mot on a
mountain road by throo companies of
infantry, and nt the point of tho bay
onet wero driven back four miles to
Tamaqua and dispersed.
Another crowd of 800 strikers lrom
the north side of Hazleton also march,
od hero and succeodod in closing the
company's No. 1 colliery at Nesque

was scattered.
Tho prosouco ot tho soldiers was en
tirely unexpected nnd the strikers were
much crestfulleu that they failed In
accomplishing tho object of thoir long
march.
It was probably the most exciting
morning that tbo Panther creek and
tho Neequohoning valleys havo over ex
perienced. Strikers wero scattered
over tho various roads and companies
ot soldiers wore scurrying in all direo
tions, heading oft the marching men.
For a moment just after tho two forces
met on tbo road in the darkness, it
lookod as if a clash would come, but
tho good sense of those who bad charge
of tho strikers prevented any conflict.

Philadelphia, Oot. 10. The great
strike of tho anthracite minoworkora
of Pennsylvania, which bogan Soptom
hor 17, practically eudod today, when
the Philadelphia & Reading Coal &
Iron Company und tho Lohlgh Valloy
Coal Company agreed to abolish the
sliding scnlo In their roopoctlvo reglona
and to grant an odvnuco In wages of
10 per cent net, the ndvunoo to remain
in operation until April 1, 1001, or
thereafter. This action meots tho do
mands of tho Scrautou miners' conven
tion. Tho docislon wos arrived at af
ter n conference, between representa
tives of tho individual coal operators
aud tho largo coal-carrying companies.
Tho conforenco began yesterday.
Today's aotlon was tho culmination
of tho recent meeting of tho individual
operaotrs at Scronton, following the
miueworkors' convention In tho same
city. Nearly oil tho collerles In the
coal region bad, previous to the mine
workers' convention, posted notice!
granting an adavneo of 10 per cent.
Tho minoworkers, in considering this,
demanded that the sliding scolo in the
Lehigh and Schuylkill districts be
abolishod, tho inoreaso to bo guaranteed
to April 1, 1001, and all other differ
oncos to bo submittod to arbitration.
Tho individual oporators agreed to
everything, and tho appointment of a
commltteo to induce the Reading and
Lehigh companies to abolish tho slid
log scalo and make tho wage inoreasci
permanent followed.
It is conceded that tho result of to
day's conforenco is a complete victory
for tho men. All tho domands ot thoir
convention are acceded to, and, as one
of tho individual operators put it nftei
the conference, the operators go a lit
tlo further in agreeing to maintain the
wngo advanco after April 1. Thii
same operator, who requested that his
name be not uaod, said, In speaking ol
tho conference:
"It Is up to the miners now. We
have agreod to everything and nothing
remains now hut for them to return to
work as soon as tho notico is posted by
the colliery managers. This notice
will bo practically similar to the Read
ing company's notico tho phraseology
only bolng changed. Tho conference
was entirely harmonious and every
phase of tho strike stuation was gone
over." '
Just how soon tho official order noti
fying tho men that tho strike is ended
and to return to work will be issued by
President Mitchell can only bo con
jectured. It is believed hero that no
order to return will be issued until a
notice similar to or in line with that
of the Reading and Lehigh companies
is posted at all tho mines. The Read
ing Company's notico reads:
"This company hereby withdraws
tho notice posted Octobor 8, 1000, and
to bring about practical uniformity in
tbo advance of wages in the several
coal regions, gives notice that .it will
suspend the operation of the sliding
scale, will pay 10 por oont advnnce on
Soptembor wages until April 1, 1001,
nnd thereafter until further notice and
will take up with the mine employes
any grievances which they mny havo."
. Vice-President Garrett of the Le
high Valley Company said:
"Concerning our operations in the
Schuylkill region you may say that tho
action ot our company will bo similar
to tbat of the Reading company. In
other districts, however, certain condi
tions oxist for instance, tho price ol
powder, wheh must bo treated separ
ately and wo havo not decidod definite
ly with regard to them. These mat
ters nro now in tho hands of Sprinten
dout Lathrop whoso headqartera are at
Wtlkesbarre."
Calvin Pardee & Co., extensive in
dividal operators in tho Ilnzloton dis
trict announced that they will post no
tices tomorrow similar to that issued
by the Reading company. vTbis un
dobtedly indicates that all tho individ
ual operators will do tbo same.
