THE INDUSTRIAL REALM.

No movement looking to a settlement of lhe Reading Railroad strike is yet visible, says a Philadelphia telegram. Tho company maintains au unbroken silence as to its policy or intentions. The joint committee of Reading Council and Board of Trade sent a long memorial to President Corbin asking him, in the name of the business interests of the entire Schuylkill Valley, to use his best efforts to settle tho miners and railroaders’ troubles. Tho memorial calls attention to the widespread trouble which will follow a continuance of the strike, as nearly the entire population of the valley is dependent upon the coal traffic for its bread, lhe memorialists offer their services in arbitration or other means of settlement.
