The Colorado Coal Miners Conclude to
Strike in a Body For Better Pay and Re-
lease From the I" Store Order' System
and Other Serious Grievancea-Prospect
Of Coal Famine.
rnl DENVER, COL.s October 70.
Delegates from all the coal mines of
Colorado were il session in this city yes
terday, and ordered general strike,
to take effect to-day. There are
forty coal mines in this State, en-
ploying $4,000 miners, all of whom, ex.
cept at one mine, belong to the Knights
of Labor. 1t is through this organiza-
ton that the strike is effected. The rider
to strike will be obeyed. except at
the one mine, where an assembly OF the
knights of Labor has not been organ
lied. # a te. .A-a...t.a--
The miners have for some time been
trying to induce the companies operating g
the mines to agree to settlement of ex-
listing difficulties by arbit alton, but have
failed. The strike is ordered with the
expectation that it with induce mine
owners to agree to settlement of differ
ences that may arise by arbitration. -
One cause of the miners compl4int Is
that the min. owners and companies
compeI their employees to take their pay
out Of their stores and charge. more for
the good, than they could be purchased
for elsewhere. Another cause ofAcom-
paint is the low wages ,ahey csaim
that the average wages earned by col
miners is less than $l.75 per day; that
wages have been reduced from twenty to
forty per cent. in the past two years,
waile the price of coal has been advanced.
The amount of coat now on hand is suti
eient to. supply the railroads, manufact-
nring and domestic demands for week,
aud if the strike is .contin-
ued coal famine in the whole State is
certainty. The miners are led by men
of ability, one of whom is candidate for
State Auditor on the Butler ticket.
They have the sympathy Of a. large
number of the gold and 81 yer miners.
Violence is not anticipated, as the meI
are reported to be generally. quiet and
anxious for q peaceable- solution of the
