Thoro has been no change in tho miners' strike at this plaeo since our last Issue, but tho miners at Eleanora, Wulston and Adrian have joined with tho miners of Reynoldsvllle, Rathmel and DuBols for an Increase In tho prlco of mining. Last Wednesdny afternoon a number of men from this section marched to Eleanora whero they camp ed until Saturday morning and then marched to Walston. Tho miners at Eleanora did not decide to strlko until Friday night. Tho Walston men camo out Monday morning and tho Adrian men struck Tuesday morning. Tho men camped in tho woods at Eleanora and at Punxsutawney they camped on tho fair grounds, Provisions wero hauled to them by the wagon load. A load of provision was sent from Reynoldsvllle to tho campers at Eleanora Friday. On Monday of this week General Manager Robinson gave tho miners of Rochester and London mines, nt DuHols, tho following answer, In substance, for their demand 'for an increase in tho prlco of mining: "That from this (lute we will pay you 40 cents per ton for pick mining and. In short, restore ull conditions as they existed when we last paid 40 cents per ton. Tho amount of work you will get will depend unavoidably and naturally upon your own wlso and just action." Tho DuBois men have not yet decided to accept tho alove proposition and it Is not likely that they will go to work up there until the machine men get an ad vance and the matter has been adjust ed nt tho other plants of the J. & C. C. k I. Co., however, tho miners of DuBols ore to hold a meeting to-day, so wo understand, to take some action on Mr. Robinson's answer to them. As tho above offer does not givo an advance for machine mining tho men don't con sider it favorably because heretofore tho machine men got the largest Kr tion of the work to do. and the men think if the price of pick mining Is ad vanced to 40 cents and tho machine work is not advanced that It simply means that tho machine men will got the work to do at 25 conts a ton and the pick men will get little or nothing to do at 40 cents per ton. After the company paid tho men here in full and gave them until Tuesday evening, August 24th, to apply for work or remove their tools from tho mines, there have been no further notices posted at this plaeo.

The teachers are all hu man and llkoly to err sometimes, so If they don't perform their duties as faith fully as you think they should do, per haps if you would go to them personally and kindly spea to them about It they might profit by your friendly sugges tion, but to proclaim your disapproval from the "house top" Is sure to be of no avail.
