OYER 10000 MEN OUT.
Situation Yesterday in the Pittsburg
COaI Mining District.

PITTSBURG, March S.--There is little
change in the miners strike in the Pitts
burg district. The men holding out for
the 69-cent rate and reject all compromises.
About 1000 men have been granted their
demands and are at work, but this is the
case only at a few mines which are rum
ming to supply the local demand. 1t is now
estimated that out OF over 20,0c0 miners in
the district about 1900 have refused to join
in the sril6e and are at work at So cents
per ton or less. AS predicted last night,
the Robbins Company miners in the first
pool quit work to-day, although they We're
under contract and will likely lose the 10
per cent in wages held back by the COM
pany according to the agreement.
A private meeting of the railroad coal
opera tors committee will be held to-mor-
row to consider the advisability of calling a
convention OF the association to discuss the
situation. The harmony scheme of the OPP
orators may be disrupted through the con-
cess;ons of those of its members who have
broken faith and those to follow suit in
granting the demands of the men. The de-
fections yesterday and to-day demonstrate
that a working combination among the OPP
orators will be difficult to effect. The
operators generally say that the break will
only lie temporary and all will be back to
the 55-cent rate in few days. The big
onerators will not attempt to do anything
until the late season opens, which is six
weeks off
