GREAT INDIGNATION begins to be felt against
Che $4,000 coal miners of Pennsylvania who
have engaged in strike in obedience to the
mandate of the Executive Committee of their
Protective Union. This committee, composed
of three delegates from each of the six coal
producing counties, is alleged to be under the
influence of the capitalists who desire to make
their coal artifcially dear. The New York
Post proposes a characteristic method of retail
iation. 1t suggests that the five million con-
sumers of coal petition Congress at the next
session to remove all duties ON imported coal
But it is rather probable that the strike will be
over before the next session.

THE action of the Washington printers in
regard to the case of the son of Frederick
Douglass who was appointed to place in the
government printing Office excites great inter-
est. Whether young Douglass can obtain ad-
mission to the Typographical Union cannot be
settled till the 10Th of june In case of a
refusal to admit him the employees of the gov
eminent printing Office threaten to organize a
strike if Mr. Clapp, the super intendent, does
not admit him. 1t is to be hoped that SO intel
ligent class of menwill no. be guilty of illib-
cral conduct. The New York Tribune antic-
ipates that the National Typographical Union
which meets at Albany before the 10Th will

We learn from the Journal that on Friday,
at Livermore Falls, Andrew j. Tozier was
brought before Justice Wentworth, on COM
plant of Michael Larkin, for breaking and en-
tering his shop at Livermore Falls, on the

from ready made clothing to the value of some
$500. The respondent was bound over in
$1,000 to answer further III September.
The Lewiston Journal says as the afternoon
train for Bangor approached the railroad

and the train passing directly over them with
out iniuring them.
