ing. His voice was clear and strong,

MINERS TO STRIKE
Waiting for the Word to De-
mand Eight Hours.
OVER 100000 MEN MAY GO OUT.
The Federation of Labor to Take Oharg'
of the Battle.

The Beginning OF Fierce Fight Thu
Mine Bosses Strongly Opposed to a
Reduction of Hours-The Am~lgama-
ted Iron and Steel Workers to Make
he Demand After the Miners.
PrTsBuRa, May 8.-As all the great
carpenters strikes are virtually at an
end, it is rumored that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor has decided to
call out the coal miners of the country
on May 10 or Is for an eight-hour
day.
This means that nearly SOC, 900 men
will abandon the coal mines of this
country at the signal given by the Ex-
ecutivs Committee of the Federation of
Labor. 1t also means the beginning of
the longest and fiercest fight which the
Federation expects to mako during the
entire struggle and the one for which
the most extensive preparation has been
made.
The miners National organization of
to-day represents the amalgamation of
four previously distinct National bod
les, and, under the title of the United
Nine Workers of America, it is numeri-
cally one of the strongest trades in the
Federation. At the last report made to
the Federated Trades the miners were
zoe, 900 strong, and since that time, act
ing under the knowledge that they
would be the second trade ordered out
in the eight-hour movement, their
organization has been increased and
strengthened by every exertion pos.
sible.
1t is believed that the demand for AL
eight-hour day will meet with more
opposition from mine bosses than
would demand for increased wages.
and the reason given out for such a
belief is, in view of the recent dis,
closures made by Labor Commissioned
Merriweather, easily understood. 1t is
said that with the system of compel
ling miners to buy their supplies from
the company store" established at
every mine an increase of wages can be
granted without costing the employer
cent-in fact, just as easily as taking
the money out of one pocket to put il
in another. This result is reached by
the simple system of advancing the
prices charged the miners for theil
supplies to a scale equal to the advance
i'll wages. Under such a sagacious sys.
tenn at the end of the month the miner
whose wages have been increased has
no moro money than he had under the
old scale by which he was paid.
1t ls now positively decided by thu
Federation that the miners strike viii
| be followed by that of the iron mould
| ers, or Amalgamated Iron and Stee
Workers, as the National order is known
| and that trade is also making vigor
| Gus preparations for its share in tn
| conflict. This information is not re
ceived as a wild rumor, but comes from
a source that cannot be questioned.
