THE ELKHORN MINERS
Want lust Dues From Operators--If MOI
Granted May Be Trouble.

Huntington, W. Va, July james
Lang, one of the striking miners in the
Elkhorn region, arrived, this morning,
and expressed the hope that there would
DO no need for troops in that locality on
account of the trouble and tho differences
between the operators and men. The
miners, he said, asked only for what was
just.
The operators agreed to pay them IS
cents for each carload of coal OF two tons
mined, but the cars have been increased in
size to about four tons. with no increase
in the coal diggers pay. The men then
agreed to enter into scale agreement OF
35 ceiits ton and have the coal weighed,
but this the operators declined to grant.
A large number of miners put to work
at Thacker, were now ready to join the
strikers, and be thought that unless
an amicable settlement was entered into
by all sides, by the 18th, trouble would
DC apt to enSue.

graduated according to the countries he
visits. In sober, classical Germany his
hair is quite short; in France little
longer; England is stip treated to a fur

period is reached. 1t is certainly II fact
that his hair in England is much shorter
than it has ever appeared IN America.
