A SPECIAL from Nelsonville, o., one
of the principal points in the Hooking
valley coal regions, says: The miners
are all idle to-day, but a number of
leading miners claim that this does not
mean strike, as it is only a 1st of May
labor holiday. The opinion of ma
jorits of those interviewed is that there
will be no strike in the Hooking valley
or the Straitsville district. Maxopala
reports no strike or trouble, with little
prospects of either. At Carbon Hill over
1880 miners continued working.
The miners in the vicinity of Des
Moines, Ia, struck in obedience to or
ders from the state executive board.
Ten thousand miners in the state will be
effected by this order.
Dispatches from the coal districts of
eastern Pennsylvania show that every
thing is quiet and no strikes have been
inaugurated.
The proposed general strike Of the
Pennsylvania btuminous miners which
was announced for May has been in
definitely declared off, and work will
continue as usual.

pressed in the Ashland, Pa, district.
The miners are all working as usual.
The building trades made great de-
monstrations in New York. Chicago,
Pittsburg and other cities. Violence is
reported from the Cleveland docks only.
At New York the strike for an eight
hour day involves only 1900 men. At
Boston the builders compromised some
weeks ago on nine hours day.
The European demonstrations on
May were largely led by the anarchist
factions, and there was considerable
incendiarism and bomb throwing besides
several collisions between strikers and
officers.
