PROPOSED WITDRAWAL OF THE CLAUSE OF THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT SCRANTON CON VENTION PROVIDING THAT ALL THE MEN GO BACK TO WORK IN t A BODY. Scranton, Oct. 18. The, heads of the various large coal corporations held a meeting- here today, and at the conclu sion issued a statement to the effect that they had agreed to the ten per cent advance in wages and to maintain the same until April 1 and therafter until further notice, but that the re duction in powder from $2.75 to $1.50 would be considered in arriving at the wages to be paid their contract min ers. LOCAL UNIONS MEET. Wilkesbarre, Oct. 18. -Nearly all of the local unions held meetings yester day and received reports from their of ficers that the ending of the strike is close at hand. They were assured that work would probably be resumed on Monday if all the operators acceded to the miners' demands. A meeting" of the executive board of the union will probably he held tomorrow, and the question will then be discussed of with drawing the clause of the resolution adopted at the Scranton convention! which provides that all the men go back to work in a body. Hazleton, Oct. 15. The issuance, of - the notice of. the.

LEHIGH COMPANY AGREES. Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 18. The Lehigh Valley Coal company owned by the Lehigh Valley Railroad company, this morning posted notices exactly similar to those of the Pardee's. The notices abolish the sliding scale, agrees to a 10 per cent increase until April, 1901, and thereafter until otherwise notified, and fixes the price of powder at $1.50 a keg instead of $2.75. The company has half a dozen mines in this region oper ated on the sliding scale, the others north of here being on a fixed basis. There is some interest here regarding the further action of the Lackawanna company on the question of agreeing to maintain the 10 per cent Increase for the next six months. It is believed, however, that it will fall 3n line with the action of the independent operators who meet at Scranton today to agree on a form of notification to the striking employes.
