PITTsBURG. Kan. May 22.-The strike
situation in this district is assuming
very serious attitude, and the outlook
for an early settlement between the
miners and operators is gloomy. The
Missouri strikers, headed by brass
band, paraded the streets yesterday
and had meeting On a vacant
lot, which wrs attended by
about 800 people. Strong appeals
were made by the local agitators for
the miners to come out, and resolutions
were passed condemning the mayor
and city council for issuing an order
forbidding the Missouri strikers from
soliciting aid within the city limits.
The order was disregarded. however,
and several persons were out yester-
day afternoon asking for assistance.
The Missouri delegation consists OF
about 100 men, and they have been
camped at Frontenac since Saturday.
They seem to have money to buy
liquids, but depend upon the miners
and farmers for the other necessaries
of life. The delegation labored with
the Frontenac miners yesterday and as
result 100 men out of 600 working in
shaft No. l did not go down. 1t is
thought Superintendent Wilson will
discharge these men and hire new men
to fill their places.
The shafts at Vernon, Kirkwood.
Fleming and Midway are all idle and
restless feeling seems to prevail among
the other miners. The Kansas & Texas
is working with a full force, and this
company seems to be the least affected
by the strike.
WILL CONTINUE WORKING.
WEIR CITY, Kan. May 22.-The min
ers at the Kansas & Texas shafts, Nos.
is and AZ, held meeting yesterday
afternoon and voted to continue work
at so cents a ton, rough and tumble,
and settle with their employers any
difference there may be, regardless of
the other miners. The men think they
can better secure a raise by continuing
at work.
