Prospect of an Extensive Agitation ir
the Coal Regions.

ST. LOUIS, May 19.-The advance guard of
coal miners who are to organize a national
district assembly of the Knights of Labor
here this week, have arrived from various
parts in the Monongahela and Hooking Val
ley districts, and many more will arrive
tomorrow, when an attempt at organization
will be made. The convention was called
by circulars sent among 5000 miners in the
United States, and if it shall be generally
responded to, this will be the first successful
convention of miners ever held. There are
$4,000 Knights of Labor among the miners,
and the object of the convention is to swell
the number as much as. possible, and then
make demand upon the employers for re-
dress of large number of grievances
among which are mentioned the ''pluck me"
system, which forces miners to trade at the
company's store or be discharged; the light
weight practice by which miners say they
are cheated out of quarter of what they
really earn and the pooling of operators to
keep the price of coal up and wages down.
The miners will also demand shorter hours
and better pay, and after they shall have be-
come well organized as district assembly Of
Knights of Labor, a general strike will en-
sue unless their grievances are righted, and
their demands granted.
