The operators gen? erally wlll hav- their collieries in condition to begin operations and the whistles will blow as usual, but a large number of the employers admit that there is but Uttle hopo of being to start. To-day was one of quiet throughout the entire coal district. The mine workers were orderly and their leaders were busy addressing meettngs ;.rag^ and inapire the members of the I unlon i ich of the non-unior. men as they could. Many of these latter, al- j though not favoring a strike, will. it is the gen- I eral oplnion, remain away from the mines rather | ar the crlticism and repriaches of their workmen.

EFFORT TO SETTLE STRIKE. FATHER PHILLIPS SENDS DISPAfCH TO ARCHBISHOP RYAN-ONE OPERATOR COXSENTS TO ARBTTRATIOX. Hazleton. Penn.. Sept. 1^,.?A iast desperate at? tempt is being made to-nlght to bring about peace between the coal operators and their the latter of whom will officlaUy begin their strike to-morrow morning by not report? work. Father Phillips, who has worked hard for a settlement of the differences between the employers ar.d the rr.. xered the fleld with the proposltlon tha^ bishop Ryan, of Philadelphia. be acoe* arbitrator.

Father Phillips took renewed h< : day when he read Archbishop Ryan's inter a which he said he would do all that iay ln his power to avert the atrike. Acting on the Archbishop's hint, Father Phil. to the prelate the following telegram: Hazleton. Ppr.r - Reverend P. J. Ryan, D.

John Markle, whose flrm has an agreement wlth its men to settle all differences by arhitr accepted the proposltlon of Father Phillips. lf the answer the flrm makes to the demands of their employes submltted Friday night is not satisfactory, and if an arbitrator chosen by the men and .-ne selected by the company. ln ac ecrdance with their agreement, cannot agree. the flrm is willlng to accept Archbishop Ryan as a third party. Father Phillips stated to-night that he thought G. B. Markle tt Co. could offer no falrer propo sition to their men than arbitration, and said their propo- let. H** added that if all the other operators ; ..tmple and submltted their case to arbitration. the whole labor trouble would be settied next week, or may be witliin three days. This flrm :n its agreement wlth its men stlpu lates that no differences shall be settied through the medium of labor leaders or labor organiza tlons. so the acceptance of Archbishop Ryan, ln accordance with the proposltlon of Father Phil? lips, on the part of the mine workers, would leave the labor leaders out entlrely and place the whole matter ln the hands of the operators and their men.
