that tho mooting called for last night had
been postponed until further notice. Ho said
action was taken In order to give the busi
ness men a chance to settle the strike at
Nanticoke.
It Is likely that tho loaders of tho orders
horo desired to oall nQ' tho meeting, fearing
that If tho men were nikud to strike that they
would not do so, on account gf tho action of
tho Utitholio priests of this place. In their
churches yesterday they addressed over 3.000
United Mlno Workers, advising them ngalntt
striking.
Tho Icailtng address, aud one which created
a sensation among tho men and public, Was
delivered by llov. Father Joseph Koch. Vicar
General of tho Hnrrlsburg diocese, and pastor
of St Edward's church. Ho fltld : "I havo
lived in Shamokln for over 31 years, nnd dur
ing that tlmo I bavo seen many strikes, none
of which havo accomplished any good. They
havo always caused poverty, misery, suffering
and demoralization. I want you all to under
stand I am opposed to a strike. I havoalways
been with tho workluguicn aud fur their best
Intel ests, but will not countvuanco a strike."
