The miners at tia coal works came out
on a strike the Other day. which necessi- !
ta.ed the shutting d,wn of the bank. The |
trouble seems TO be over the employment
OF q digger named Robert Price. Price |
had expressed his W llinguess to ioin the |
union here, so we are informed by one of
the members, but objections were raised
against him, when he went to Wheeling |
and joined labor organization and then
came back and went to work. Mr.. Blake |
refused to discharge him but insisted upon
giving him employment. The miners in
sisted that there was enough men at work |
and struck as abova mentioned. II is to |
be hoped that the difficulty will soon be
smicably settled, az these strikes are cal
culated to deter perslns from making con-
tracts for furnishing fuel, especially to
large institutions, because of the uncer-
tainty of being able to perform it at the
proper tine, as il may be in the middle of |
one Of these shut downs.
