STRIKING WORKMEN.


ScoTTDALE Pa.), April 1.-THE strikers
convention wound up this evening. Mass
meetings are to he beld daily at the princi-
pal points in the region. Stirring addresses
will be delivered and strong efforts made 10
bolster up the dropping courage Of the
strikers. On the question of remaining ont
there was unity of expression, though
nearly every delegate present hoped for an
early conference and satisfactory settle
ment; bnt this seems very remote. Inc
operators will make no overtures for con-
ference, neither will the men. The eonyen-
ton passed resolutions declaring they we're
law-abiding citizens and orderly delegates,
counseling the men to keep within tie
bounds of the law, and also crlticising Cap
tain Loar severely. The coke companies
will make general effort to resume WORK
Monday morning, and lively times are ex-
pected. More eviction notices were served
ON strikers families throughout the reglon
to-day.
MOUNT PLEASANT (Pa.) April Il.
Uneasiness prevails among the cokers To-
day. 1t was expected yesterdays cGnVen-
tiun would settle the strike, but a resolu-
tion to continue the fight has had a depress-
ing effect. The Eighteenth Regiment left
for home to-day, leaving the Tenth Regl-
ment ON duty One thousand men are So ID
to be ready TO return to work at Morewood
next week. The arrest of rioters still gees
on. At least 200 infornlatiOns are out and
over one hundred arrests have been made.
PITTsBURG, April II. : The proposed
miners strike for the adoption of the eight
hour day, to be ordered three weeks hence,
is the chief topic Of discussion In Industrial
circles. About 14o, 600 to 10000 men Will be
affected. There are not that many men
actively engaged in mining coal, but that
number viii take part in the demands. The
threatened strike will more directly affect
the States of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
THE STRIKING RAILROAD MEN.
OMAHA. April 1I-0nly twelve Burling-
ton sw1tchmen have struck here, and their
places have been filed without any serious
trouble. The strikers visited the yards to-
day and persuaded two of the new men TO
quit. but no violence was attempted. The
strikers state that they struck because they
were denied the right to join the union. One
man stated that Yardmaster Davis mad sad
lie had received orders not to hire union
men, but the yardmaster positively denies
this.
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE officials of the
Burlington road say there Is no reason for
apprehension that the strike on the Western
lines of the system Will extend to Chicago.
1t is evident, however, that tile managers
are anxious TO conceal any apprehension
they may feel. The Supreme Council OF the
Order of Railway Employees will meet here
Monday and, ii is understood, the adVlsa-
bility of ordering a general strike on thf
Burlington system WIZ a be considered.
LINCOLN (Nebr.), April 1.-The strike of
the Burlington switchmen in this city is not
apparently causing much trouble. The
officials OF the switchmen's and trainmen's S
brotherhoods were in this city comforting
all day, with what result is not yet known.
DENVER, April 1.-The striking Bur-
lington switehmen at this point are only
about twenty-five in number. Their griev-
ance is the same as that which caused the
strike at Lincoln and Omaha The officials
assert that their places were all filled to-
day, and that freight is being handled
promptly. Tie strikers, however, declare
that the company has only one switch en-
glne at work, and it is operated BY the yard
master and his assistants.
