Moving 10 Revive q Miners Strike.

PITTsBuRGH, December "a secret move
mcnt is on foot among the coal miners OF
MonoDgahela Valley TO revive the strike
which so signally failed few weeks ago.
The men have since been working at re-
ducuon, although greatly dissatisfied with
their wages. The rise in the rivers and
consequent shipment Of nearly 10000. 900
bushels OF coal to lower ports within the
past three days has greatly encouraged the
miners. who believe that the demand for
an advance OF three cents per bushel in the
mining rate at this time would be conceded
by the operators.
