Coal Miners’ Strike Nears End

THE strike of coal miners is practically at an end. The men will return to work at an advance of ten per cent. in wages. All of the companies have not yet agreed to the increase of wages and the reduction in the price of powder; but in such as have, operations will begin at once. On the 23d of October considerable property belonging to the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company was destroyed by a mob of strikers. The deputies and police appointed to guard the property were powerless against the rioters.
