GREAT VICTORY FOR The MINERS.


Obtain the CosoesssOa Of Almost Evsvy De-
mssd ssd Avert . ssr,hs.
PITTsBURe, Aug S-The coal miners
and tn. operators have finally reached an
agreement and there will be- no strike.
The agreement is claimed as the biggest
victory ever made by organized labor. Al
most every demand WAS granted, and the
operators gave a ritten guarantee for
their fulfiliment Of the contract. The
papers were signed last night which in
crease the wages OF 100, 600 miners in
Pennsylvania, Onio, Indiana and Illinois.
The terms of the agreem are that the
present rate OF wages shall continue in
force until Ger. 1, when every operator in
the Pittsburg district will pay the 6y-cent
rate with "a Il fferential of 5 cents in favor
Of operators who do not have company
stores.
The agreement further provides for an
other advance on Jan. l. Ii is understood
that the rate will then he made ~ cents
Above all w. p. &varmtt, who has
whipped the miners at every turn here
tofore, has been brought over and will
pay the o. cent rate as he does not have
the company stores The effect of this
settlement Is to advance the mining
rate In Ohio and Indiana from 81 cents
TO go cents. II also helps the rate in Hi
nois, and brings the strike there to an
end. IL also changes the end OF the scale
year from Aprh 80 TO Jan. /. This is the
first time differential has ever been
granted against company stores and IL
is expected that it will result in having
all OF them abolished.
Another feature of the miners victory
Is that a convention of miners and opera
tors III to be held on the second Thursday
of October In each year to fix the mining
rate for the next year, SO that the rate for
each year can be settled before the scale
year expires. The first joint convention
under this agreement is to be held next
