P1TTsBURG, Sept 5.-It was learned
definitely Saturday that Saturday, Sept.
10, was the day determined upon by the
river coal operators to demand a reduc-
ton in the price of mining from three
and one-half to three cents per bushel
Captain J. H. Horner gives as the rea-
son for the demand, self-prOtection
against competition from companies
operating along the Kanawha river,
where the mining rate is two to two and
one-half cents for mining. That the
miners will resist the demands of the
operators is almost certain.

side regarding the report that the chol-

to be unfounded. It may, be safely said
that the pestilence has not appeared in
