OPERATORS Do NOr CARE.
They Have no objections to Closing
their Mines

PTrsBURG, PA, December 19.-The
decision Of the miners IN the river dis
trict 20 strike tomorrow morning ii
their demands are not acceded to does
not seem to have had any effect upon
the operators. Phey still declare
that they do not dare to
operate their mines with coal selling
for such low prices at the Ohio river
cities and think they have sent enough
coal south TO prevent any Improvement
in prices until spring. The miners
generally, however, seem determined
TO Quit work, though some OF them do
not relish the idea of being thrown out
at this time and may refuse to strike.
Unless they all quit the men fear their
efforts will DO unsuccessful, and they
are anxiOuslY awaiting the result to-
morrow.
