History of the Coal Strike.

The strike began on Saturday, April 2l,
| 1884 Ii was ordered by the United Mine
workers of America, of which John Mcbride
is president. The strike extended at once
over the soft-eoal regions of Pennsylvania
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, Indian Ter
ritory, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa. Alabama,
Kentucky and Tennessee. Later portion of
the miners of Maryland and West Virginia
Joined the strike. Mr.. Mcbride estimated
the number of strikers at 10000. These
miners received $50, S09, 1927 in wages in 1890,
according to the eleventh census ofthe United
States In that year lS9, 1856 mines produced
49, 1893, los tons OF coal, valued at 500 350, 1863.
Last year these mines produced over I00,-
900, 900 tous.
The strike was for the restoration Of the in.
terstate wage agreement which was abandoned
duringthe summer, first voluntarily by a small
number of miners in the Pittsburg district and
thus forcing reduction in every competitive
| district in the United States. One by one the
operators had cut down wages, each company
explaining to its men that It could not keep
up the rates and compete with neighboring
mining districts. This cutting of wages led
to the breaking of the agreement signed by
the union and the operators in 1893. The
cutting is said to have begun when the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company paid
its men in scrip during the financial stringen-
ey: The operators in other districts claimed
this to be discrimination, and the cuts fol.
lowed.
Within the last two weeks the military has
been called out in seven States-Maryland
West Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Colo.
RADIO and Alabama. The most trouble oc.
Cured in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, where
the strikers attempted to stop the movement
of focal by the railroads from West Virginia.
The strike in the seven weeks of its contin.
uanee cut down the stocks of bituminous coal
SO as to cause great scarcity, especially in the
West. In some cases the railroads reduced
their train service, and steamboats, on the
lakes we're with difficulty supplied. The
strike was the greatest that ever took place
in this country.
The average price of mining prevailing in
the Pittsburg district for the last six months
has been So cents per ton, and in all other
districts in the country in proportion. The
price paid in Maryland and West Virginia is
40 cents. The Maryland and West Virginia
miners did not belong to the union, but struck
mainly in the hope that by general move.
ment an increase of wages would result.
