Up to the hour of going to press there has been no reported change In the conillt Ion of affairs on the Reading railroad system or at the, Schuylkill mines. Both sides stand firm, evidently determined to make the most of it. The miners have funds sufficient to last six months if necessary. The report that Mr. Powderly condemned ho strike is unfounded, although he has frequently spoken against such action as uuwlse, preferring arbitration to all other methods. The remarkable Industrial and coin. merclal progress made In the Southern Stales during the last few years has been widely noticed. An Important fcaturo of this Is found In the compa.-allve. freedom from labor troubles, which In nearly every other section of the country havo caused so much disturbance. Leading southern papers have recently called the attention of manufacturers and others to tills as an Inducement to embark In Southern business enterprises, and this, with natural advan tages of the South, has Induced many to start in business there. liradatrett's During the past six years tho total number of employees Involved In the whole number of strikes is shown to have been 1.1.18,424.
