THE APPREHENpED STRIKE
of the miners of the st. Louis district,
is still an event OF the future. II was
reported Yesterday in Collinsville, ILL.,,
that the miners in that district had
quit work, but il was altcrward learned
thst this was untrue. The miners of
that district met last night, together
with the employees of the zinc works
and the press-brick works, and formed
thorough organization. Nothing
was done pointing in the direction of
q strike. Neither is there any immc-
date danger of the men in the Belle
vile district going out
A meeting Of miners wa' held near
West BellevIlle, Sunday, at which it
was resolved not 10 suspend opera
tons at present. They are dis
posed TO continue work until May list,
and resolved not TO suspend opera
tons at present, and await the
result of the district convention
to be held at Springfield on that
day. Coal was got as usual Mt a num-
Der of mines in the vicinity of Belle
vile, but some mines were compelled
to suspend operations temporarily,
owing to the absence of railroad faclli
ties for getting their output TO mar
ket. Representative Knights of Labor
from Staunton visited E1wardsyillc
Saturday for the purpose of inducing
miners to strike, but the men who
have regular work there are satisfied
with their present prices and did not
yield.

from molestation, have returned to
their old places, and scores OF tunsicr
wagons, together with private trucks
and other vehicles, are busy this

depots of the railroads centering in

and yardmen, who returned TO work
yesterday, was increased this morning
by many more of those who availed
themselves of the military protection
TO secure employment Most of the
roads now have full crews OF switch
men and yardmcn, and it is expected
that in few days the resumption of
operations by large majority of the
roads will be complete. Yesterday
the bridge company had not Been able
to secure u sufficient number of men
10 handle all the freight that the
roads were Offering, but Today sew
eral more OF the men resumed their
old positions, and the company is doing
abusiness almost MS, large rs before the
