Conference Held Yesterday at Wilkesbarre by Miners and Firemen Agree Upon the Above Settlement. The stationary ft re in en's strike has practically collapsed, and if the com panies will take back the men now out the trouble will be declared over. This decision was arrived at yesterday at a conference between strike and mine leaders. If all of the strikers are not taken back there is a possibility of the trouble continuing. At the meeting yesterday betwoen the executive olftcers of the three an thracite coal districts and representa tives of the striking firemen this reso lution was adopted: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that committees from the striking firemen be appointed to wait on the coal companies and other em ployers tomorrow and ascertain whether they will consent to reinstate the men who left their employ last Tuesday. These committees will report to a joint committee of United Mine Workers and the ofiicials of the stationary firemen at a meeting to be held in this city tomor row evening." It is understood that if the companies conclude to take back tin: strikers the strike will be oflicially declared oil'. If the strikers are not taken back then there Is a possibility that the lockout may continue. The United Mine Work ers, so it is said, have promised to aid the strikers should their employers re fuse to givo them back their old em ployment. Rut under present condi tions the executive officers of the United Mine Workers think it the best policy for the strikers to go back to work. This, it is said, was the burden of the argument used by the United Mine Workers at the conference, and they won out on it, as the resolution adopted had their support. From the discussion In the conference it was plain that the Mine Workers were overwhelmingly against the continuance of tiie strike. The liremon realized this, and submitted the following qucs tions: First. Will you withdraw all men of your organization from our positions if strike is declared oft? Second. Will you use your influence to have all engineers and others rein stated to their former positions if the strike is declared oft? Third. Will you allow us to meet United Mine Workers in joint confer ence and to present grievances at the same time? To the first two questions yes was given. To tin? third this reply was made: "Yes, if you join the United Mine Workers." A resolution was then adopted calling on the grievance committee of the Fire men's Association to call on each coal company today and ascertain if the men who went out on strike Tuesday will be given back their positions.
