The Giocers' Position.
Ktlitor of The 1 ribune.
Sir: It lus betn staled that at a meeting of
the retail grocers of this cltv It was resolved "not
to trust an) person connected with the strike"
This Is absolutely fahe. The laboring class ot
this city, especial!) the miners, hive no cause
whatever to complain of the generositv of the
giocer; nor em he sj) am ht but that lie has
been his neartst ami best friend Tor vears it has
been very hart! fur Hie giocer to carr) his min
ing trade, slinplv because those who would be
honest and pa) thtlr bills could not for the sim
ple reason that Huv could not earn It, In many
cues. Now, in the present crisis, the rumor has
been circulated tint the grocers hive decided
to close their doors and man) more rumors which
tend to make ill ftellng between the miner and
his friend ot mini uars' standing
To such an cxttnt has this III feeling grown
tint manv miners hive tiken their monev to the
cash stores ind left their accounts unpill with
the credit groctr True, the grot crs of this
citv have tiki 11 steps to protect thnnsehe Why
not Among the miners, as arrong ill classes,
there are men whose credit is limited to Just
thirty tlavs Hut in this thev are not aloie, as
seme of our merchants can bartl.. get thirty davs,
but who now In all probability have to piy spot
cish for every dollat'j worth of goods pur
chased Tie rcidtr will readily see tint the grocer
must take some meins of curlaiting credit, also
expenses, but tin miner who his shown himself
to be honest in the past need hive am fear of the
pristnt. Certain it is that the bills will have
to be smaller as the strike Is prolonged beeiuso
the grocer, being put on a cah basis with his
jobber, must necessir Iv be verv careful in his
credits, cUe he must close his doors, and tint
Is not the intention of the Scrantnn merchant
unicst the trade now out of cmplo)tntnt force
him out of it bv not being careful in their pur
1 liases or bv refusing to pay their bills ftr goods

The action taken bv tl wholesilers (If such
artion has been taken, of which vve know nothing
infinite at this writing) Ins forced the grocers
to cill 1 meeting and arrange so as tn sell goods
from pav to pav instead of from firt to first, as
