Half the Miners in the ClearfieId Region Go
Out-The Labor Issue at Other Points.
PHILADELPHIA, June 26.--About half the
miners in the Clearfield region are on a
strike to-day, six mines being idle IN the
vicinity of Heutzdale and few near Phil
lipsburg. Complete suspension or resump-
ton of work, it is thought, will be decided
on in a few days. The operators claim they
are unable to advance wages on account of
the decrease in prices of coal, which is al
most fifteen cents per ton at the mines, and
thirty to forty cents at tide water.
BALTIMORE, June 26.--The granite block
street PAYERS employed by the city and
those employed by contractors on city work
struck to-day, the demand for increased
wages being refused. They demand 81 per
day.
BosroN, June 26.-About 800 girls en-
ployed by the Columbia Rubber Company
have struck against reduction of wages.
NEwBURGH, n. Y, June &c. Freight
handlers here, sympathizing with their fell
low-laborers in New York and Jersey City,
refused to unload six barges containing
!, 200 tons of West-bound freight sent here
by the Erie for transportation to destina-
ton.

of the danger of tumult and disturbance in the
County of Hudson, l deem it advisable and prop
er TO notify all persons concerned that for the
honor and prosperity of the State, the laws must

Chancellor Runyon to-day issued an order
warning all persons from interfering with
the Management or doing injury to the prop
erty of the Central Railroad, New Jersey
During the afternoon a delegation of 200
strikers attempted to visit the Erie yards
and induce the men to strike. They were
ordered away by the police. An effort
to prevent freight train leaving Jersey
City was also frustrated. 1t is reported the
coal beavers of the Morris Canal Company
have struck for increased wages. The
switchmen in the yards of four Companies
demand the restoration of 10 per cent. taken
from the wages some years ago. The
switchmen propose also to do no work until
the freight handlers gain their point.
They held a meeting to-day,
number of speeches were name call
ing upon the switchmen to be firm
as they were practically masters of the
sitvation. One speaker said the switchmen
were the keystone of the strike, and with
out them the whole structure of the strike
would fall to the ground. All men on the
Weehawken branch of the New York, Lake
Erie and Western Railway have quit work.
This will make necessary the shutting down
of the large oil refineries at Weehawken.
CLEVELAND, June 26.-To-day few stones
were thrown at the Cleveland Rolling Mill
Company's rod mill, the first ripple of dis
turbance in several days. Half a dozen
police were detailed to prevent repetition,
quiet prevailed. A large force of police still
escort the non-union men to and from work
but the number of the detail for this pur-
pose will probably be reduced half soon.
