A Lumber of miners’ families in the vicinity of Bazieton are depending on the Workingmen’s Be- nevolent Associaton’s treasury for wliving. The funds of the association are daily running lower.

A political aspect has begun to tinge the delibera- tions of the Miners’ Union. A resolution way offered to-iay that the minera, before voting for any oiicer, either iocal or national, shall require hiny to bind himself to uphold the interests of the miners. Mr. Simey sayy that the day is not far disiant when the organization will make itself felt politically turougb- out the State and nation, The deliveratious of the Miners’ Council will be continued to morrow. The Nortuern Central Railroad will increase their toils on Coal shipment to-day, to block out the mil- hority operators, who are striving in every way§io put coal inthe market. The Miners’ Journal to-day ways tue Northern Central Railroad Company will also Increase their tulls_ to correapond with the tolis on coal on their road. This curtails the shipments from the Shawoktn region to a considerable extent. df the men demand high wages, and thus check the production of coal, the companies are determined to have high tolls also. Inno case have the rail- road companies violated tneit charter in charges they have made so far. We were told yesterday that Not Ove OL t.e Companies Would abate their tolis if they had to hold out the whole season, until the men were willing to go to work at fair rates and not check the trade again.
