THE MINERS WIN.
Nearly All Their Demands
Granted by the Pittsburg
Operators.
LARGE INCREASE IN WAGES.
One Hundred Thousand Men
Benefited by the New
Contract,

PlTTsBURG, Aug. 5.-The biggest vic.
tory YER made by organized labor has
been won in Pittsburg by the miners.
Almost every demand was granted and
the operators gave a written guarantee
for their fulfllment of the contract.
The papers have been signed which in.
creases the wages Of 100, 900 miners in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Hi.
nois. The terms Of the agreement are
that tho present rate of wages shall
continue in force until Oct. I, when
every operator in the P~ittsburg district
will pay the 69.cent rate, with q differ.
ential of 5 cents in favor Of operators
who do not have company stores. The
agreement further provides for
Another Advance on Jan. 1.
It is understood that the rate will then
be made 70 cents. Above all w. P.
Dearmitt, who has whipped the miners
at every turn heretofore. has been
brought Over and will pay the 81.
cent rate, as he does not have the COM
pany stores.
The effect o. this settlement is to ad.
vance the mining rate in OHIO and
AAU1duu AEOm d 10 OU Genus. IL also
helps the rate in Illinois and brings the
strike there to an end. It also changes
the end Of the scale year from April 30
to Jan. /. This is the first time a diff.
ferential has been granted against
company stores, and it is expected it
will result in .
Having All Of Them Abolished.
An evidence of this came when w. P.
Rend of Chicago offered to abolish his
company store at Reisig, Pa, and
agreed to loan the miners O
enough to operate it on a cooperative
busis.
AS another result of the compromise
the operators propose to form a new
association on different lines from the
old n and every operator in the dis.
trict will be included in it's member.

Practically all the credit for the vic.
tory is being given to Secretary Treas.
