p,t,rburc. Pa, July 20.-The attention
- The miners OF the Pittsburg district Is
49, rixete-d on the Allison, Boone and
untsrpri.e mines, near Oanonsburg. The
Reno and Allison mines which were clos
Cd yesterday by the owners 10 prevent
sruuhse between their men and the march
m. strikers resumed to-day with nearly
. fuIl force. No attmept was made TO
.tar, m al the Enterprise mine. The
r.syikers fear that If these mines continue
n operation, it viii induce the ENTER
- men TO 20 back to work. The pro-
nam of the strikers is 10 make another
march On the Allison mine. The leaders
ssid thi. afternoon that more than y
oO0 diegers would be massed III the Fan
Hxndle district and another march made
Su the mines. Tonight the miners of the
Pun Handle district were gathering a.
boye Br;dgevifle and it viii not be sur
prising If / 600 miners are found on the
Washington pike In the morning. The
men m the Aillers and Toms Run dis
trict. are all idle and have plenty of
time to make another march. They
were supplying themselves with rations
and If the proposed march is made they
viii stay about the offending mines for
several days.
Up TO a late hour tonight no word re-
lating to march had been received at
district headquarters. If the march is
made the time will be kept a secret.
Just at this stage of the strike sensa-
tionaI developments are expected. The
men are beginning to feel the pangs OF
hunger and want, and are IN a condition
bordering on desperation.
1t was learned to-day that organizers
have been secretly at work among the
miners of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company for several days. One
of them was served with an injunction
TO keep off the company's property and
leave the men alone. He said that he
had been at work among the miners al
Plum Greek and expressed great hopes
of being able to have them join the gen.
eral suspension. AS near as can be
learned a concerted effort win be made
in the near future to bring out the men
Mt Turtle Greek, Sandy Greek and Plum
oreek. Just what procedure will be re-
to hac or an
The officials feel that in order to make
the strike a success in this district, these
miners must be brought out They admit
they have difficult job on their hands
as DeArmitts men seem to be determined
TO remain at work. The mines are
running at their fullest capacity and are
supplying large quantity of coal to the
trade.
The coal market was quiet to-day
Much coal was offered at $1.25 ton.
Slack took big jump and sold for S5
cents ton. Before the strike 1T was
sold at 40 cents ton. There are hun.
1peds Of toms of slack coal at the mines

officials will not permit any Of it to be
leoded.

Of the Glendale Coal Company, eigh'

ago the sixty cent rate was conceded t.
the men with the understanding tina
they would not strike.
Since then, however, the officials o.
the Pan Handle district union have

their efforts have proved successful. The

toward getting the Moundsville mines
