It is hard to predict what the result will bo. A great many of tho strikers have felt for a long time that it would bo wise to accept the reduction offered by tho operators last Aprd, and their ranks have ljeen greatly strengthened since the selling price of coal was reduced; but there is another class and they have always overruled the more conservative, who fear that if it is docided to accept tho reduction they will bo singled out by their employers and not allowed to return to work. They do not allude to this fear in their arguments, but insist that by holding out a little longer the operators will be compelled to yield in order to supply the fall trade, which is always tho most prbfitable in the year.
