BIG COAL STRIKE.
The Order Of the United Mine Work.
ers Generally Obeyed.

The Order Of the United Mine Work.
ers Generally Obeyed.
The strlk, OF the United Mine Workers OF
America was successfully inaugurated. The
reports received at headquarters in Colum-
bus, Ohio. from points where the action OF the
miners was in doubt indicated that the order
OF the National Convention hnd been more
generally obeyed than President Mcbride
expected.
The strike on the day after its inaugura-
tion involved $1,000 men and paralyzed
the soft coal industry Of six States. The
loss in wages in this strike, It was estimated,
would be greater per week than the loss In
volved in the great Durham IEngland)
strike which blighted British industry last
year.
The number OF miners VINO ebeyed tho
order TO strike was approximately as fol-
lows In Pennsylvania, 10000; in Ala
12CCO; in Indiana, 5000; In Tennessee,
5000. In parts OF Virginia, Kansas, Iowa
and Colorado the men refused to strike,
so that about 10000 out of $4,000
bituminous coal miners remained al work.
The production of these mines last
Year was about $4,000, 900 tons. and the
miners received in wages SIS, ,809,627 IN
average of S407 for each miner, out Of which
expenses for powder, oil. tools. etc., had to
be deducted. The strike OF 81, 900 men there
fore was estimated to cause about $125, 900
loss in wages every day during its continu-
ance.
1t was conceded that about 80 900 men en-
gagged in the production OF bituminous coal
IN the United States, who are not organized,
would not join the strike at once.
The chief difficulty besetting the managers
OF the strike early presented itself. This
was the question of how to maintain solid
front in the face OF offers from operators oil
full scale wages and plenty OF work. The
plan OF this strike was, at its inception, that
no coal should be mined anywhere until the
wage scale was paid everywhere.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
BURY1Na A FOWL.

The curious method of burying 6
fowl that is either very fresh or threat
ems to be tough, which is often adopt
ed by French cooks, may have a sug.
gestion in it to Some country house
wives. The fowl is wrapped in a
cloth and put in fairly deep hole in
the yard and well covered with earth
it is usually left all night, though il
may be buried in the morning for use
at six o'clock dinner. This process
vastly improves the favor and condij
ton of poultry suspected of not being
up to standard quality. New YorH

l., ~. ,a-ds and abandoned II, This upset

In the wards and abandoned 1t. This upset
the calculations Of the men. They had de-
clared to Frye that they wouldn't walk any
more, and they were prepared to keep the.e
word even II there had to be trouble.
All night they burned the Vandalia Com.
pany's ties and made blazing fires, around
which they tried to sleep. The Vandal1a line
was compelled to abandon its freight train
service owing to the stand taken by the men.
In the morning the Mayor and Chief of Po-
lice visited the camp and tried to get the
men to move on peaeeably. The men said
Frye had chartered q car for them, that the
Vandalia line had broken its agreement, and
the first train that passed would be seized
even II blood was shed.
The men kept their word. At ESQ IN tne
afternoon Vandalia freight train bound Tor
the East was made up in the yard IN Terre
Haute and was started out When it reached
Prairie, about three miles out, the army
captured it, and in moment the cars were
overrun by men. They crowded In the
engine and informed the engineer that
he had better run them as far as
Brazil. They had, they said, several
engineers among them, and If he re-
fused they would run It themselves. About
an hour was spent in O parley. The con-
ductor telegraphed to General Superinten-
dent Elliott, and he In return laid the mat
ter before General Manager Williams.
All this time the five trainmen who COM
posed the crew were practically prisoners of
the 800 Industrials. Finally word was sent
out to the conductor to move the train. He
did so, and when Brazil was reached the
army clambered off and camped for the
night.
