APPEAL OF BRITISH MINERS.
Aperiean Labor Asked to Help Their
Suffering Brethren.

London, Nov. 24.-The mails to the
United States take out a strong appeal
from the officers of the Miners Fedora
ton of Great Britain addressed to the
mining and other trade organizations
IN the United States in behalf of the
striking Scotch miners. The appeal
says:
1.-THE Scotch miners came on strike on
June 26, and, after remaining out 10. Is
and II weeks, have been compelled to re-
turn to work defeated. They are men,
bers of the Miners Federation of Great
Britain, and had to strike in resistance
to a reduction of % cents per day. en-
forced from the beginning of May. This
action was to defend their own inter
ests and to prevent the same reduction
being enforced throughout every mining
district in the United Kingdom. as SINH
lar reductions have in past years The
families of the Scotch miners have been
subsisting during the strike on from 81
to 40 cents per week. Their restitution
is beyond description and is aggravated
by the general belief that the strike has
been lost by the INSCRIPTIONS actions
of agents in their ranks. There were 25
per cent. too many workmen in the
mines before the strike began, which
caused them to get only about four full
days per week for the preceding 10
months.
lowing to wreckage and accumula-
ton of water in the pits 1t win be weeks
and months before the men can get
work, during which time large numbers
of families will have to subsist on char
ity. The strike has so impoverished
all the working classes in Scotland that
they can not help the miners. Unless
they can get assistance from other parts
God only knows what will become Of
many families their case is already
heartrending. We appeal to everyone
to aid these suffering people to the ut

Christians in future. Detailed instruc-
lions to this effect have been sent to the

AS we stated last week the large stocks
were secured in anticipation of the strike,
which was all the provision that could be
made. Those stocks which were put atloat
by producers after the strike commenced and
before the railroads hal seized all coal en-
route, are pretty we'll used up. 1t is estimated
that in New York harbor there is on hand,
now atloat, from 1000 to 1000 tons held by
producers supplying the seaboard. This,
however, is being increased to some extent
by outside Goals which are beginning to
arrive. Some of the Welsh and Nova Scotia

no coal for sale 1t is said that some of the
