Rich Hill is about the only place in
Missouri where the miners are at work.
Tho operators ut that place employ about
1900 men. and up to Wednesday all of
them were at work, but that day, how
ever, about 1000 of them laid aside their
picks and shovels and joined the strike,
the remainder refused to enter and are
now at work. This is not pleasing TO the
miners elsewhere, and they are OF the
opinion that unless they can get the boys
at Rich Hill to join the strike will be a
failure. Consequently. hundreds Of miners
are now on their way to that point.
