The entire force of lapwelders of the

The miners of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company in the Pittsburg (Pa)
| district held a meeting yesterday and resolved
| not TO mine coal for the East at less than four
| cents, II being discovered that coal intended
for tho East was shipped West. 1t is reported
| the glasshouse mines will resume with union
| men at strikers rates. The strikers hold q
mass-meeting to-day and will go into camp.
Sunday night handbills printed in Ger
| man were mysteriously distributed inside the
| police line at Eckhart, Nd. They are ad-
| dressed TO the new miners and signed by the
| Knights Of Labor, and set forth the cause OF
| the present struggle between the companies
| and miners in this region, and ask tho new
| men to cease work and join the strikers, when
| they Will be cared for. 1t is said tho bosses
| and weighers on duty have received circulars
OF similar import through the mails. 1t is not
| known as yet what effect these communities
tions Will have. The miners say there is no
| truth in the rumor about taking vote as TO
| whether or not they shall go TO work. They
say IT was smart in the companies to commence
the work at Eckhart, as that is the easiest
| mine in the region TO work, but laugh at the
| idea Of the companies succeeding in their un-
| dertaking, even II they should work all
summer. Eckhart, the old miners say, has no
| other advantages, but in the other mines only
quick and thoroughly experienced drivers can
| get along.
The Baltimore Sun says that the effect in
Baltimore of the strike OF the iron workers
throughout the West has been to render this
market very uncertain. Since the mills shut
down the price OF made-up iron has advanced D
to 7H per cent. There is a good stock on hand
there, but owing to the uncertain feeling attend
ing the settlement of the labor disputes the buy
| ing Is limited to actual wants. Tho three
| plate mills In that city are running full, and
though the wages paid are little less than In
the West, the men are apparently satisfied
Tho Abbott iron mill, which employs 400 men
is working at full capacity, with large orders tc
NIL, owing partly to the shutting down of mills
in the West. The Baltimore workmen evil
IDENTIFY do not want any strike, though in the
event Of one they could get along much better
than their Western brethren, as every Balti
more puddler is fisherman, and could exc
out living from the river and bay. The
principal reasons for their contentment. how
ever, are said to be slight advance recently
made in their pay and prospects OF steady worl
for long time 10 come.
