Another Strike Threatened.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 20.-The river coal min
ors' strike was inaugurated to-day by the
diggers in number of pits notifying the OPP
orators that they would not return to work
until the prices Of mining were increased
from two and one-half to three cents per
bushel in the first, second and third pools,
and from two to three and one-half cents in
the fourth pool. The majority OF the miners
worked to-day, but with the exception of a
few pits, which have not been heard from,
they have all notified the operators that they
will not return TO work on Monday unless
the advance is granted. The operators say
positively they will not pay the advance, and
many Of them we're very much surprised this
morning on receiving the notice that their
men were going to demand il. This afternoon
a meeting Of the Coal exchange was held to
take action in regard 10 the matter, and was
largely attended. They decided not only TO
refuse the demands OF the miners, but also
10 refuse 10 load for any small operator who
would pay more thsn the present rates. The
operators who have stores along the river no
tiled their managers to-day not 10 sell any
more goods TO miners on credit. In the
fourth pool the diggers in many instances
are behind with their rent and have been
given notice through tho officers of the law
