II. Lee said ios REGISTER scribe when asked
about it., "that the company could not
make any money at 2}4 cents for digging,
and in the shape the coal trade is IN they
would .ose money by paying cents. Iney
were willing to pay q! cents, and had
orders enough to run for perhaps two or
three months yet, and made that PROPOSE
ton TO the miners, who would not accept
il. and Immediately went out. Since then
the company have sent their boats to other
places to have them flied, and will buy
coal at other points TO I'll their orders.
The miners seem TO be determined not to
work for pa cents, and are obtaining other
employment as fast as possible. Many oil
them are working on the new railroad
across the river. This is about the state OF
affairs at present, and from all appearances
we Judge the strike will last some time.
