PTTsBURdu, Feb. lO.-The action Of the
coke workers at their convention at Scott
dale yesterday in resolving TO accept
no compromise, has had q tendency to In
crease the the bitterness Oi the struggle,
and a settlement seems further away than
ever. More men were lie to-day than at
any time since the beginning OF the strike.
Only two small works are in operation
and these are not running full, Notices
will be posted up by mining operators ON
their houses in few days, making a final
demand upon their tenants to vaCate their
property on March lst, and after that time

Standard works II had been reported that
the works were to begin there to-day and
tho parade was for the purpose OF pre-.
venting resumption. No attempt, how.
ever, was made to start the works.
The magnitude OF the coke strike is
greater than many people insGine. The
amount OF capital invested in the coke
business from Mt. Pleasant to FRiFchance
reaches $ls,000000. This great sum does
not include speculative Investments In
coal land, but Is the aggregate OF the cost

Not only is no interest being made on this
great total, but, on the other hand, more
capital Is being expended In keeping
property intact from external danger from
the strikers, and internal danger from
