The Coal situation.
This is the fourth week OF the miners
strike in the Pittsburg region, and there has
been much talk to the effect that there is .

false one as something in the nelghoorhood
of 10, 900, 900 bushels of coal is lying at
Pittsburg already loaded and waiting for a
rise in the river that it may be run down.
About six hundred men are working in the
fourth pool, and have been working for a
week past, and both sides in the strike seem
determined to hold out to the last.
