of the opinion that the Western mills
will soon be in operation.

will resume on Wednesday with nom
Union men.
In mining circles slight ripple was
created by the action of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad miners this afternoon, in
unanimously declining to mine coal for
the east at less than four cents.
The mines have been in operation at
three cents and a half, but the miners
discovered that coal was being shipped
westward, which was moved with the
understanding that it was for the east,
and at meeting held to-day, took the
above action.
One more break is reported to take
place tomorrow. 1t is said that the
