as can be ascertained no miners in the
Kanawha Valley have obeyed the ordersto
strike.
The mines at Echo Fire creek and Cen
tral, in the New river telo, went ont to
day. The miners az Thuumoud, on New
river, have called a meeting for next Mon
day evening 70 decide whether TO strike or
remain at worE. They are getting better
ray than the Kanawla miners.
The miners at Beury, Cooper & Co, at
Echo, were paid or to-day, and conse-
ouently they strike without having cent
coming TO them.
It's reported that some OF the Kanawhs
miners will meet at Montgomery, Monday,
10 determine the question Of striking.
Advices from tns Flat Top region are to
the effect that the small operators have
been notified by the Flat Top Coal Co.,
which handles the Flat Tep production,
that the price 10 the operators VIII be re-
glced az least ten cents on the ton and the
small concerns have decided that they VIII
have 20 reduce the price of mining or close
their works. II a cut is made O1 coal dig
sing it is probable that the men Will
strike.
IL is more than probable that there viii
not be- any strike IN the kenawha Valley,
and the mines az Wluiirsde, Campoelis
Greek and Raymond City 90 not even be-
long 10 the union.
