WILL START TO-DAY.
SOMETHING LIKE EIGHT HUNDRED MINERS
WILL RESUME THIS MORNING,
In the Vicinity of this City-Ena-Sandard and
Wheeling Creek Men Will Await Io-mor-
rows Meeting at Columbus.

Most Of the coal miners in the vicinity
Of this city, will go to work this morn
ing at the sixty cent rate.
The exceptions are at Wheeling
creek and the Etna-Standard mines,
where the men seem determined taawait
the result of to.morrow's meeting at
Columbus.
On the West Virginia side OF the
river from WelsOurg to Moundsville,
there will be a general resumption, and
some of the men In the Belaire district,
as indicated by Saturday evenings
meeting, will also resume. 1t is calcu-
lated that in all about eight hundred
men will thus go TO work. and this re-
sumption Of labor will give employment
TO more than twice as many more, or
total Of over two thousand five hundred
men changed from condition OF idle
ness to one of industry. This will put
q lot Of money in circulation in short
time, and ought 10 have an Immediately
beneficial effect upon business.
McMillan'S two coal banks in Ben
wood, which have been idle for the last
eight weeks, will go on in full this
morning. These banks are the only
peddIing ones in Benwood, and there
has been much need OF fuel by the pri-
vate consumers since the strike.
The two mines employ about dozen
men, and they 60 TO work at slight
increase over the pay they were receiv.
ing when they joined the strike.
Last Saturday it looked as If arrange
ments could not be made with the
drivers at the bank Of the lower Ben
wood mill so that the bank coafd go on
this week This matter was settled
Yesterday morning with the drivers,
and the coal mine will go on in iull this
morning after an idleneSs Of about three
months. When the strike was started
this mine had been idle for some time,
owing TO the general dizziness of business,
and the employees decided to join the
general strike also. There are a dozen
drivers at the mines, and at the time
the stop was made sumo of them were
getting as low as S1.5 for days labor,
and some were making as high as 81. so
day. At the agreement with them
Yesterday it was decided that all the
drivers should be paid at the uniform
rate OF 81. so a day. The miners will go
to work at the mines for forty-three
cents car load for their labor, and this
will be an increase OF about five cents
load over the pay they were receiving
when the strike was waged. A force OF
men were put to work in the bank yes
tsrday to get things in readiness for the
resumption this morning. The mine
gives employment to about fifty men,
drivers and all.
The Glendale coal works will go on in
full this morning, after an idleneSs of
eight weeks. The works employ seventy
men and they, too, will have slight
increase. Men are al work getting the
mine in order for the resumption. The
Glendale miners particularly are very
glad OF the chance TO get TO work again,
IS many Of them have bong ht lots from
the Coal Company, and have not got
them all paid for yet. They feared
that their homes would be taken II the
compromise was not arranged.
The miners OF the Etna-Standard
mines in Etnaville will not go to work
this morning. They want TO see what
is to be done at the convention which
will meet in Columbus In the morning.
At the recent meeting in Bellaire the
miners at these two banks, which fur
nish the coal alone for the Etna Stand
ard mill, were among the tirmeSt in the
district In favor Of standing for the
seventy.cent rate. There is a report
among thu miners of these two banks
that the Mill Company will have forty
new miners TO go to work in the mines,
and that none Of the old employees are
10 be taken back, no matter what is the
result OF the coming convention at
Columbus. None OF the old miners
will go TO work unless all the old EN-.
ployas are taken back. The truth OF
the report could not be verified by
the Company yesterday. If
the miners go to work at the
proposed rate, they will get AZ cents a
car load for mining, which is an increase
of five cents on the load over the old
rate which prevailed just before the
strike begun. There are 60 miners at
both the works.
Wheeling Creek coal works were talked
too yesterday. Many Of them would be
In favor Of going TO work this morning,
but, as was stated, they have decided
to await the result of the conference in
Columbus in the morning. There seems
little doubt that the most OF them will
go 10 work before the end OF this week.
The reports that the mines all about
them would go on this morning seemed
to weaken their stand for the seventy
cent rate yesterday.
Yesterday morning at its hall at
Thirty-sixth and Jacobs streets, Local
2SQ, Of the United Mine Workers,
which includes the workmen of the
Boggs Run Mining Company, the
lower Benwood mill, the La Belle and
Riverside banks, held rousing meet
ing. 1t was decide that the La Belle
miners, about thirty in number, should
go to work this morning. They are
to get 80 cents a car. They formerly
made IS cents. The trouble with the
drivers OF the Boggs' run mines has not
been altogether settled yet, and these
mines will not go on this morning. 1t
is thought, however, that this can be
soon arranged, and that the mines will
60 on early this week.
