The mooting will be held in Ex celsior Hall and will bo attended by the lead, ing men of tho order in this Assembly dis trict. The offers of the Joint Committee of tho Miners' Amalgamated Association and tho Minora' Knights of Labor assemblies to bring about peace between tho company and the railroad hands, is the topio of all talk. Mr. Oorbin's second telegram in answer to the last sent down by the Joint Committoo wiU be read at to-night's convention, to gether with all other correspondence, The mooting will have as many frionds in it as possible of snoh radioal leaders as Lee. Sharkey and OahiU. i The Exooutivo Committee, whioh changed their headquarters from Philadelphia to Pottsville. have boon very busy tho past few days in selecting radical men suited to thoir ideas to bo delegates to this convention. Tho lenders who favor tho striko are loaving nothing undone to havo 45,000 minors of tho company join issues with the disohargod and striking railroad hands and coal-handlers at Fort Richmond and declare a gonoral striko along tho lines and throughout the coal re gions. By many it is bolioved that the con vention to-night will pass a resolution to strike. Telegrams this morning from Ashland, Mahanoy Piano, Gordon and other local points state that trains are running as usual and all tho mon are at work. The collieries of tho company and of individuals started up at Ashland. Tho miners about Mahanoy also started in this morning. All is quiot over tho regions and tho side-tracked ooal is all re. moved. Mining was generally resumed to-day, but tho mon are not at all satisfied, because their wages for next year havo not yet boon ad. , I justed. They want some advance if not tho 8 per cent., a port of It. Trains and oolliories will finish this day's work, at all events, and there will be nothing moro new till night. Philadelphia, Doo. 39. The Boading situation is no less complex to-day than yes terday. Everything hingos on. the outcomo Of tho negotiations between President Austin Oorbin and Chairman Leo and tho result of the convention of employocs which will bo held at Boading to-night. Chairman Lee came down from Fottsvillo this morning, and in company with another member of tho committoo, Henry Bennott, called on General Supt. Sweigard in order to IUlk over tho situation, and, if possible, to arrange a trace. Mr. Sweigard was wiUinc to meet Lee but refused to roceivo him and Bennett together, whereupon Lee, who wished to have a wit noss to tho interview, deolined to hold any conversation with the Superintendent. Mr. Sweigard's position is that he cannot and will not rocognizo a committeo of the Knights of Labor. "Aftor tho visit." Mr. Leo said, "Mr. Bwelgard sent for mo to call on him and I came, bringing Mr. Bennett with me. " Ho refused to reoeivo us both, though ho was wiUing to talk to me. That was not satis factory, and I am now going back to Beading, where a convention will be held to-night of representatives for all tho assemblies of Beading Railroad and Goal and Iron Gom- S any employees, and I bolieve tho result of ist convention will be a general strike, in which the miners will join." The impression was that this was the last opportunity the company will have to settlo with the men. and it failed to avail itself of it. Supt. Sweigard sold this morning that there are more applicants for places than cauld bo given work. Everything is working smoothly. EwxAnrru, N. J., Deo, 29, The Beading Company assumed tho offensive to-day nt Elixabcthport and stortod up their docks with non-union men. Early this morning Sheriff Glassby, of Union County, was appealed to by tho Bead ing Company for proteotson of their prop, crty, they giving Sheriff Glassby notice that they were about to resume operations. The Sheriff had a conference with Shipper Wal. lace, and assured him that ho would soe that no violence was done. At 8 o'clock tho steamer D. E. Martin and Thomas Hunt arrived at the docks from New York with 17S men of various nationalities. They wore quietly taken off the boats, marched upon tho dock and put to work. Many of the mon aro experienced coal handlers. All tho approoches to tho docks are guarded by special policemen and Finkerton's mon armed with revolvers and clubs. No ono is allowed to visit tho dooks unless be is an official of tho company or has a boat awaiting a load. A Wobld reporter visited tho dooks at noon. Ho was stopped two or three times by tho spocials, but finally allowed to proceed. The shipping office was found in charge of Deputy Sheriff Dixon, who has his head quarters there and has charge of all the spe cial officers guarding tho dooks. Thore are about thirty of thorn in all. Work progressed fajjiy this morning and the pffloials any thoy aroTSatislled with the out look. Nono of theso discharged mon, they say, will be takon back. There aro sixty boats lying at tho docks, and the captains of these bo far have offered no objeotions to load.;It is expected that about a dozen will object, but tho remainder will not. Deputy Sheriff Dixon docs not anticipate any trouble, but say ho is prepared for any emergenoy. There are 0,600 tons of coal on tho docks, orabout three days' work. No coal has or. rived since Friday. .Tnf discharged coal-bandlers are standing ? ?u "? corne" and aro greatly surprised I Siik'j tnrn affalrs 1 taken. Tbeylfeel 1 otoomeen IT ma dBn't toow What th0 I tM Un!?ce ot Austin Corbin this morning ff S rv. ncolaent, was made that the Bead. I worfiniFK , havi"ff no trouble at all in I i f ho "" a rhiMelphia, yesterday is wore filled easily, and the strike had dwindled to proportions which made it unworthy the fflguity of being called a strike. Uliis afternoon Presidont Austin Corbin sent the following order to General Managor A. A. McLeod at Philadelphia: To iuoh of oar old employee, ti hare stood man fully and faithfully by us we feel obliged and thankful and ahall not forget them. But the time has now arrived when all ol our employees will be required to decide whether they expect to retain their places by reason of honest and faithful ser vice and prompt obedience to the orders of the company that employs them and para them, or by blind obedience to the direction of the Knights ot Labor, through which organization the leaders hope to coerce ui Into the employment of men who conelder their first obedience due to that order. The men that stand by at will have employment with reaaonable hours, and good pay, as much as Is paid by anr other corporation of a similar char acter, lien who do not will never be allowed on the road again under any circumstances. We hare never objected to labor organizations and do not now. Every man shall no free to be long to one or not, as be pleases. But the heads ot snoh orders cannot and shall not dictate to this company as to whom It shall employ or how operate its property. Flaces that are left In obedience to the orders of tho Knights of Labor shall be filled by new men, and snch new men will be retained and under no circumstances te dis charged to moko room for men who have left their places. Hereafter we shall operate this property with employees who consider their first duty Is to the company and expect to obey reasonable orders made In the transaction of lta business. There has never been a moment when, under any circumstances, we would arbitrate any ques tion growing out of this strike. There has been nothing to arbitrate. It Is only a question as to whether the company ahall be permuted to operate Its own property a property In which there Is In vested over $200, ooo, (too-or whether that property shall be controlled by tho Knights of Latior. It may as well bo understood now, and from this time on, that any wheel that Is turned on the Head ing system will be tnrned under the orders of the management of the company, and under the orders of nobody else. A despatch to Mr. Oorbin from tho Phila delphia office says t The men havo come back so fast that no more new men are wanted at Port Richmond. No business was transacted at tho meeting of tho coal barons this morning at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel. Aftor a session of a fow minutes on adjournment waB takon for a month. Knights of Labor and trades unionists aro discussing the strike earnestly, A member of tho Executive Board of District Assembly No. 49 said, when asked his opinion regarding tho offeet of a general striko on tho order and whothor or not tho d of eat of tho men would bo disastrous to tho order " If the Beading men go out and appeal to tho Gonoral Executivo Board that body will tako ohorgo of tho striko and, if nocossary, call on overy national and district assembly to aid them. " There aro 600,000 members in good stand ing in the order, and thoro is not ono who will not contribute his or hor mito to aid their brothors of tho Beading Bailroad. " Failure would not break up tho order any moro than tho Southwestern Railway striko did, I hear somo wisoaores going about and saying the Knights are on tho wano, that they havo another black oye, and all such talk. CIGAB-IUKEBS TO STRIKE. The Itedaced Prices and the Tenement. Home System tho Causes of It. International Union cigar-makers oxpoct that notices soon will bo postod in all tho factories announcing a reduotion of prices for work on all grades of cigars. This roduction and the effort to resumo work in the tenement-houses tho union mon propose to resist, and a gonoral striko is suro to ensue unless an early compromisois made. It will take sovoral days to hoar from tho Exooutivo Board on tho subject, but all tho union men hore beliovo that a striko will bo authorized. Tho fifty cigar-makers omployod by Kim ball & Orouso will striko as soon as thoy aro authorized to do so by tho International Union's Exooutivo Board.
