THE COKE STRIKE.
The Great Strike On in the ConnellsvlIle
Coal Regions.

The Great Strike On in the ConnellsvlIle
Coal Regions.
PIrTBUReH, Pa, Feb. 10.-The great
strike in the Connellsville coal regions
was inaugurated this morning and by
tomorrow morning every mine and
coke works in the region will be closed
down. The miners to the number of
about 10, 900 refused to go to work to-
day, the only men now working being
the coke drawers. There are 6,000 en-
ployed at this work and as soon as they
have drawn the coke from the ovens
they will quit also.
The strike is for an advance Of 121k
cents per ton and against a 10 per cent
reduction. Both sides are firm and a
long struggle appears to be inevitable.
The workmen offered to continue at
the present wages until March l, pro-
vided the operators would arrange a
satisfactory scale in the meantime, but
this was refused. The independent or
small operators then made a proposition
to their men to pay the old wages until
a settlement of the trouble, but this
was also rejected and the strike ordered.
The operators claim that owing to
the depressed condition Of the coke and
iron trades a reduction is necessary;
upon the other hand the workmen say
the depression is only temporary and
the operators can well afford to pay the
increase. There are over 5000 ovens
and seventy coal and coke works IN the
region.

is said the situation in reference to the
next Legislature was one of the subjects
discussed during the day. The outlook
in this respect is not as bright as desir
ed in many of the counties owing TO the
aggressiyeness Of the Farmers Alliance.
The control of the next General Assem-
bly, is as important from the party point
of view as the nomination of the guber-
material candidate, aud 1t is given out
that the latter shall not be made to ieop-
ardize the legislative prospects. The
alliance, it Is said, has already captured
the ticket in Kent 1t has shown
strength in Anne Arundel and Dorches

send democratic representatives. Meth
