STRIKE QUESTION.
Efforts to Prevent Trouble In
Wllkes-Bnrre.
Wllkes-Bntro, Jan. 22. Charles J.
Thaln, secretary of the United Mine
Workers of America, for this district,
Slid In nn Interview today that tho
only way a general strike could be
avoided in the anthracite coal region
was recognition of tho membeis of the
union by the operntors. Continuing, ho
said:
"The policy of tho United Mine Work
ers of Ameilca. has to bo to use eveiy
honorable means before resorting to tho
last weapon cjf Justice, the strike. In
the piesent case tho miners lequested
a Joint Interview and upon being almost
totally Ignored, demnnded one, and
again being treated with contempt.
must now either endeavor to enforced
one or accept an invitation for n Joint
meeting from the operators If they
have giace sutllclent and hoi so sense
enough to notify their employes to that
effect. No Individual or committee
meetings are possible for a permanent
settlement. This Is what tho miners
request and require, and no temporary
makeshift."
Tho Wilkes-Harro boatd of trade,
Commeiclal club, business men In gen
eial and ministers of tho gospel are
using every effort to nvett a strike.
Rev. Father Curran, pastor of Holy
Savior church, this city, whoso parish
loners arc mostly miners and mine
laborers, Is opposed to a strike. He
says, as a rule strikes da not pay, but
on tho contrary bring poverty and dis
tress. In his opinion the majority of
the minors are not prepared for a lock
out, and If they all were, they will do
a great deal of thinking before they
consent to go out on strike.
