ILLINOIS MIyERs
CHICAGO, May 6-The miners OF the
northern Illinois district are going on
strike just as they did last May. and there
is every prospect that the terrible
scenes Of starvation and suffer
ing of last summer in the min
ing sections will be re-enacted
this season. Last year, however, most
OF the miners were locked out. The
present troubles arise from strikes for
better wage terms. About fifteen thou
sand have already struck and there is a
prospect that 80, 900 will 60 out within a
few DAYS unless the difficulties are set
tied.
The miners in Illinois receive very
low wages on account of the competi-
tion in this market from Indiana.
OHIO and Pennsylvania, where Hun
garians, Poles and other national
ities nave supplanted the American
or English-speaking workmen. Hence
the presest strike viii find 10 600 fami-
lies in which there are at least 30, 600
small children in destitution and want
before . weeks idleness ensues
A. L. Sweet, the head of the Coal
Mine Owners Association in the north
ern istrict Of This State, said that
there were 900 men out who de-
manded an increase of ~ cents ton
He claims that the operators cannot
possibly grant the demand. It will
be remembered shat year ago or less
when sbs last strike was settled. the
miners asked an increase Of ten cents a
ton and got two and one-balf cents
The seven and oas-balf cents now de-
msnded IS Just the part Of the demand
OF las year which they were compelled
