The Great Strike in the PENNSYLVANIA
Mines to be Continued.
PITTsBURG, Sept. 8.-Coal miners of
the Monongahela pools, in convention
at MOnongahela City to-day, unanimously
resolved to continue their strike and keep
up the camp until the operators concede
the demand of 81 cents per bushel for
mining in the first, second and third
pools, and cents in the fourth
pool. When the action of the convention
was communicated to the operators and
shippers meeting was held in the Coal
Exchange in this city, and an agreement
was signed by all of the shippers and
many of the largest operators
that not more than 2L
cents be paid for mining in
the first three pools and cents in the
fourth pool. A Monongahela dispatch
says that the miners State officials have
interested themselves in the strike, and
that at secret meeting held after the
adjournment of the convention it was
decided to call out all the bituminous coal
miners of Western Pennsylvania. This
includes the river and railroad miners
and those working in the Clearfeld
regions, in all about 10000 men. The
object in ordering a general strike is to
curtail production, with the expectation
that 1t will improve prices.

Government Printers Furloughed

WELLINGTON, Sept. S.-During the
past few days there has been large re-
duction of the force employed in the Gov
ernment Printing Office. The printers
who are employed on the Congressional
Record, most of whom are usually car
ried along during the summer in other
departments of the Office, have all been
furloughed, and to-day 100 of the printers
in the job room received furloughs,
1t is expected that the services of a large
number of others will soon be tempora-
rily dispensed with. Two reasons are
assigned for this curtaiIment Of the force.
One is that the appropriations for the cur
rent year are only about twO.thirds of
what they were last year, and the other
that there is not sufficient work in hand
TO keep the regular force employed,
