THREE THOUSAND MINERS OUT.
Big Strike Inaugurated In the Bituminous
Fields of PENNSYLVANIA


Fields of Pennsylvania.
HUNTINGDON, Pa, Jan. 8.-The miners in
the Broad Top and East Broad Top bitumi-
nous coal fields went ont on astrike yester-
terday. This step was the direct result of
the advanced position assumed in the early
part of the week by the Clearteld miners,
and affects about three thousand men.
These miners are said to be but poorly
equipped to endure an extended strike at
this time. as they have been working only
about half time for several months. An in
direct cause of the strike was the attitude
assumed by the leading firm operating in
that district in reducing their output and
giving. it is alleged, warning to the coal
carrying companies to lay IN a sufficient
supply for motive purposes. The present
attitude of the miners in demanding that
they be paid by the gross instead of net
ton is indicative of stubborn and pro-
tracted fight.
