PittSburg. Pa, Sept. 9.-Represen-
tatives of the 10000 organized coal
| r,;nnrs II, tho Dit+Sb,Y,,r ,,ivar on1 roil-
road districts met and decided to re-
duce their own wages. in order to get
work. The men are on the verge of
starvation. together with their fami-
lies. directly as a result of the free
silver agitation. which has stricken
! hundreds of busy mills and factories
which consume coal. As result, in
the height of the lake shipping sea-
son. the mines are idle and the little
work to be done has been taken up
by unOrganized miners, working under
the district price. This latter cOndi-
ton has made it almost impossible
for union miners to get work. When
they went to operators asking when
the mines would start, they received
the invariable reply that there was
no use of trying to get roc ton so
long as miners could be had to dig
coal at SOC a ton. President Dolan's
| speech. in which he advised the dig
gers to reduce wages, was novelty
| in its way.
