IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBrNE.1
Columbus, Ohio, May l.-Roports from various
mining centres of the State, received here this
afternoon, show that the miners obeycd the or
der Of the Ohio District convention and stopped
work almost to a man to-day. Not single mine
OF any importance in the State was operated TO-
day. and the coal roads are already feeling the
effect Of the strike The Columbus. Shawnee
and Hooking. the Columbus, Hooking Valley and
TocGo, and the Toledo ami Ohio Central railroads
have already directed "a reduction in freight
crews in consequence Of the strike. These roads
tap the rich coal fields of the Hooking, Shawnee,
Corning, Jackson and Perry districts, and have
only small supplies mined ahead. Unless the OPP
orators ana miners speedily agree upon a settle
ncnt the roads will he practically without busi-
ness, - II" principal freight traffic over the
lines is confined TO ccal.
IL is estimated that not less than $4,000 men
are ont for the j-cent advance demanded FOR pick
mining and the corresponding increase for other
work about the mines. There is no disposition
among the miners 10 accept compromis'. 1t Is
reported here that several operators have decided
to grant the advance rather than permit their
mines to remain idle but there is no sign OF a
general concession 10 the demands of the union.
Two OF the operators in the Hooking Nah"y have
sgniied their intention of yielding to the de-
mands, while two in the New-Cambridgc district
are ready 70 sign the increased scale. The opera
tors are unanimous IN the assertion that the
action of thp unon is unjustlfcd, and they say
they were assured by officers of the organization
of United Mine Workers that an advance would
not be- demanded unless the scale should be raised
