THE CoKERS STRIKE BEGUN.
Seventies Thousand Mon win Ne Idle by
Tonight.

The strike Of the IL 900 employees of the coke
regions of Pennsylvania for an increase of l2iS
per cent in wages, q reduction of working
hours Of day men from nine hours to eight,
the placing of scales for weighing the coal on
} all tipples and against counter demand Of the
operators for general reduction of 10 per
cent was inaugurated yesterday. and all
through the region the miners remained away
from the pits. By this evening the last Of the
ovens charged on Saturday will have been
drawn and then the shutdown will be complete.
LONG srRUseLE PROMISED.
The struggle promises to be long and bitter
The workmen are thoroughly organized They
have had reasonably steady work for three
years and are members of the Knights of Labor
and United Mine Workers of America and
through the latter organization Of the Fedora
ton OF Labor. The demand that coal shall be
weighed instead Of measured will be the point
most vigorously insisted upon, as the miners
claim that by the system Of measuring coal
they have been defrauded out of large sum Of
money every year. They say they viii be con-
tent to remain idle three months if at the end
OF that time they can gain their point
OPERATORS WILL STAND FIRn.
The operators say the demands Of the cookers
are unreasonable; that the selling price of coke
is 70 cents per ton less now than it was q year
ago, and that compliance with the demand
Tor the erection of scales at each tipple would
involve large expense. The H. C. Frick Com
pany, OF which Andrew Carnegie is the head,
controls TO- zoe Of the 16 900 ovens in the region.
IL has large supply Of coke in stock and will
wait until this ID exhausted before moving for
settlement. Some Of the smaller operators
are anxious that work shall 60 on at their
plants, but this will not be allowed save at the
Fountain works. which supplies the Scottdale
Rolling Mill with coal. 1t is SO important that
W. j. Rainey will employ Pinkerton guards
and attempt to keep his plant in operation. If
this Is done there will probably be serious
trouble.
SUPERINTENDENT BADLY BEATEN.
The Hungarian strikers, about one-third Of
the whole number, are hard to control They
have shown their ugly temper by visit Sun
day to the Fort Hill works. Superintendent
William Snyder said something that did not
please them, and they fell upon him and beat
him 80 badly that he may die. No arrests have
