Hon. John Mcbride. General President
OF The Ohio Miners Association, to-day
issued u lengthy appeal to the miners OF
the State, urging them to stand by their
fellow workmen Of the Hooking valley
In resisting the proposed reduction from
10 TO 20 cents per ton In the price OF
mining. He says the strike II now en-
terlng the fifth month, and II the min
ers Id that valley receive the hearty co.
operation Of the other sections they will
win q victory over ole OF the most gig
antic, sOulless, and damneble corpora
lions that ever Infested the coal fields
of this or any other State. In the
circular Mcbride says We have nj
least 5000 miners In Ohio who eau con-
tribute, They work, say twenty days
90 days each month; each miner will
average three tons per dav. This would
give us u production OF 10000 tons per
month, and AZ 10 cents per ton would
yielp the handsome revenue OF $iS 600
monthly. Miners OF Ohio, give us thia
for two or three months. Do this, aud
WI will compel the coal syndicate to
recognize us or we will bankrupt them,
Do this, and tho dimes contributed now
Will save dollars for you In the future,
Don't lay back aud say II IL too much,
You must choose between your gifl Of 10
cents TO your brother mlnerf or 20 cents
TO your operators, Defeat 10 the Hooking
miners means defeat TO you.
