Nearly Ona Thousand Mlnera Idle and
Destitution Prevalent:
A despatch Irom Hatletoq, dated 25th
ult., says : There doea not yet appear to be
any prospept pf a settlement of tba diffieul
ties between the striking miners at Jeddo
and Highland Collieries and O. B. Markle
iV Co., tbe.operato.ra. These two collieries
when working eniploy EQ0 men. The
mules have all been taken out of the mines,
and tbe operators announce their determi
callon not (o yield to. tho demands of tbo
workmen, aa the difficulty had its origin
solely wltb two miners working in a breast,
and demanded what is regarded as an ex
orbitant price for working the rock.
O. B. Markle said Sttur lay tbat the strike
would aot affeot the operatora in the least,
as tbey will be able to fiH'their quota for
the year In three or four months' steady
work, and they are not now under any
considerable expense. Meanwhile, many
ol tbe families of the miners and laborera
are In a very' destitute condition, and the
fact that tha strikers meot Willi great diffi
oulty in finding work at other plaoea puta
a much mor terjoqs pbaes upon tbe slua
tlon.
For a year past many of Ihe expert
minera have not been earning on an aver
age more than $35 per month, anil out nf
this sum Ihey mutt support large families.
Few of the laborers hayo been earning mora
than ninety rents lay, and haye not
worked more than half-time at that. A
visit to several of the mining towns where
the strike is in progress reveals a most die
tressing atate of affairs. Many of the fami
lien are crowded inlo small shanties, with
three or four sleeping in tbe tame amall
appartmenta, oftentimes on tbe bare floor
and with little or no covering. Tbey have
very little In eat and their principal fare
consists of bread on which lard Is spread
This condition nf thing exists, not aloae at
Jeddo and Highland, but most of the otLer
mining villages in tbe region,
At Drifton, where the collieries ara oper
ated by Coxe Bros. & Co., the situation hst
been made even worse by putting In opara
tiou lha oath ayatem at the company store
and denying men tbe priytlege pf obtaining
a dollar's worth of goods on credit. The
ultimatum of Coxe Pros. &Co., It that the
men must go to them separately and
be hired oyer, while the men aay, that hay
Ing been discharged in a body, Ibay mult
be allowed to return in a body. It ft gen
erally supposed tbat the cash system was
adopted by tbe operatora aa one means ol
compelling the ipen to submit to tbslr
terms.
ft now looks as though Ihero would be no
change In Ihe situation, at least for several
montbi, gpd as a result there will be much
euflering among the workingmen,wbo have
nothing more to depend on for support
than their daily labor. Tbe effect nf the
Itrike a alto seen In the depraved con
alitlon of trade, and thora is a yery gloonry
business outloqk for tba summer through
out tbe entire region.
A Lucky Escape.
On laat Wednesday J. W. Baudenbusb,
of thia borough, went to Tamaqua to pur
chase a number of borsaa and wagons. In
coming borne, and when a short distano
from tbr Little Schuylkill on tbe Maucb
ehupk road leading to the White Bear, tba
wind wblob was blowing furiously, naught
the wagons and completely upset thero,
throwing Jake In under, tbe brakes ol pne
of the wagons catching him across tba
abdomen. But very fortunately serious
catastrophe waa averted by the breaking of
tbe traces, and Jake clinging to tbe lines
for all be was worth; be managed to exlri
eate blmulf from tbe debris with some
diKculty. lie waa obliged to walk back to
Tamaqua, where be procured attitUnoe to
fix up Ihe broken wagons, and tbe tame
eeening be waa at borne, and although
severely bruised, ba waa about. We con?
gratulata Jake on bit lucky escape.
