Great Victory for the Miners Of Gal.

Mr.. EDIToR-The Kittanning Coal Company
OF this place suspended work on the 18th of jan
sent to dig coal at Il reduction of 10 cents per
ton. The miners had only one day given them
10 consult over the matter, when they unanl-
monsiy agreed to quit work ana appeaIed 10
thelr fellow workmen to divide their W ork with
them, which they honorably did with the ex-
ception OF the Blair Iron and Coal Company.
The bosses backed down from the agreement
they had made with the miners. However, the
miners of the Kittauning Coal CO., faced the
storm, end with all the scarcity of work, 1t ap-
mamma in the desert, because their cause was
Just. On the lot inst. the bosses of the kittan-
ming Coal Co, and the miners of said Company
entered into settlement OF the dif1iculties ex-
isting between them-the miners not only re-
gain of per cent. over old rites. The miners
suffered considerably. yet they tnught those
some time. The great demand, however for
iron at present justifies them in giving the
miners their just demands.
The miners of Johnstown based their de-
mnnd on the same principle as the miners OF
iron in the market which would afford the
mlncr one dollar per ton ct the present liine-
III the prices of iron had downward tendency,
how soon the JohnStown Company would resort
TO the lowering of miners wages.
- The miners of the Blair Iron and Coal Co, OF
Bennington district, still waiting with pa

town miners, and by so doing, II mlght save
troublesome strike. / sincerely hope that the
Blair Iron and Coal Co. will not remain silent
many days on this question. 1t they DO, 1t is
certain that the miners will make their demand,

they would be justified in doing. That demand

the miners of Bennington district feel on the
question, and hope the Blair Iron and Coal
Co. Will cOucede portion of their profits to the
hard working miners OF Bennington district,
who just now are digging coal at thirteen cents
per Ton cheaper than any other miners work

say, which makes il worse with the BeEsinE
ton miners, their vein OF coal Is not quite
three feet. ope the Company will take all
these factsin consideration and save strike.
