More Than Fifty-Ave Cents-Two-thirds
of the Striking Miners Gain Their Point.
Thirteen Thousand at work.
pIrrspuRa, March 19.-The strike of the
miners Of the Pittsburg district has
r.aohcd that point where both sides are
oluiming the advantage. The fourth pool
operators held conference Saturday, Mt
which they agreed to pay the sixty nine
cent rate, and nearly all Of their men went
to work yesterday morning, while the re-
mnlndcr resumed this morning.
The river operators, at a meeting yestcr-
lay afternoon, decided unanimously to
pay the sixty-nine cent rate until the
barges in the river arc filed and while the
boating stage lasts, but tho railroad oper-
ators unanimously refused to ncccdc to tho
demands Of the miners, and will pay no
more than flfty-flve cents. They declare
that IL Is impossible to pay more In tho
present demuralized condition of the mnr-
ket and with the keen competition from
the West Virginia fields, the freight rates
from that section being so much lower
than from here.
BY the decision Of the river operators tho
entire district resumed work todny which
creates great rejoicing among the men.
President Cairns Is well pleased, and says
that those, together with those who havo
hud the demand granted before, in both
