COLUMBUS, Dec 5-AlI tho syndicate mines
outside of Straitsvillo and Gore are
in full operation. While their output
is not what it would be il the miners all prac
teal and experienced, yet it is increasing daily
and furnishes an opportunity for q large number of
men who are not miners to learn the business ana
swell the already overstocked supply of miners
Extensive preparations are making by the ONO
western Coal aud Iron Company to put their mines
and furnaces, which have been idle and chilled for
many years, in working order This company owns
all the property formerly controlled by the Stand
ard Coal and Iron Company, which had-on paper
"a capital stock of $75O00,000. They have
force OF men employed at all of their mines and
furnaces at Floodwood, Orbiston and Monday, pre-
pairing them for operation 1t s said that they will
begin az soon as the present difficulties between the
operators and miners settled.
There seems To be nothing left Judging from the
actions of the syndicate, which leaves tho miners
any chance even to hope for compromise with
this corporation. They certainly mean to have
their own way.
The NeisonrUe Ne,cs has the following to say on
the situation:
No general break has yet occurred, though it is
admitted Oh every hand that the operators VIII
ultimately "ih Inal IN, all Ine coai uiIhcu ncio
this winter, or perhaps, for the next year, VIII be
mined at fifty cents per ton, whether
by imported or native men. In re-
viewing the past history of the strike from
the beginning it appears that this strike was not
conceived in a moment, bnt was planned and per
f"csed even unto the most minute detail, and then
only after mature consideration. For nearly SIX
months the men have stooi out against fearfulodds
yet 1t has been surprising the amount OF
relief that has been received from sources
The question now is, not what the operators can
aiisId to paw, but what tnay will pay. They ut
tery refuse tn make any concession, and say tIey
will fight 1t out to the bitter end, If they don
mine ton of coal q day per man. A
few men have returned TO work. and IT is thought
more Will follow from time to time, aud these men
together with the imported aborers will constitute

John Mcbride, president of the Miners state
Association, and the district president, "Chrls
Evans, held consultation in this city III reference
To the trial of the miners already indicted, anu
concluded that the miners must not, under cfctlin
stances, give in to the present syndicate. as other
operators are now ready to open up mines ana
