Favorable to the Strikers.

Huntington, w. Va, July 15.-There
was decided change in the fields of
Southern Virginia tonight, and it is now
stated for an absolute certainty that in

THE PITYsBURG DISTRICT.
Foreign Coal CBtting a Figure on
the Market.

the Market.
Pittsburg, July 15.--Foreign coal is
beginning to cut quite figure in the
Pittsb,lrg market and the miners of
this district recognize its importance.
Much coal is being sold in the Pittsburg
market from the Clcarfeld and Cambria
districts. 1t is true that it does not come
| to Pittsburg, but goes to fill the cone
tracts made at the great lakes. The
miners are w0sking at good wages, and
, it is claimed are willing to come ont il
the matter is properly brought before
them.
The men in the Clearfeld and Cam
bria districts arc working under the de-
fusion that they are not conflicting with
the general suspension. said President
Dolan. eve have arranged confer
cnce with some of the leaders in that
section, and am satisfied that we will
be able to make them see the error of
their ways and join us in this general
battle for bread. AS far as the Pitts
burg district proper is concerned, we
have every reason to be satisfied with the
situation. | have hopes in vet being able
to get the New York and Cleveland men
out. There is very little change in the
situation, and it is practically as it has
been f fr the last few days"
The local officials are manifesting
much interest In the situation in West
Virginia. Cameron Miller said today
that he would be willing to wager that
most of the miners of the mountain
states would be out before the end of
the week. He said there was about
$4,000 miners in that state. and if the
organizers succeed in getting $1,000 of
them out the battle could be considered
won.
An important feature of the local sit
uation was the shipment of 1900 cars to
the Chicago and Pittsburg mines in
West Virginia. The Pittsburg operators
claim they were for coal from all sec
tons of the country. The prevailing
price was S1.D ton, no change being
noted from the quotations of the day
previblis;.
According to the miners officials, the
operators have closed the company's
stores all over the district, and supplies
to the men have been cut off. This
leaves the miners dependent upon the
fruits of forage and charity. In one or
two agricultural communities where the
miners nre on strike, the farmers have
invited the strikers to organize commit
tees and send them with wagon into
he surrounding country to solicit rather
than contiscate supplies. The strikers
are taking full advantage of the invi-
tation.
Quiet reigned today throughout the
Pittsburg district, n truce seeming to
prevail pending the outcome of the peace
negotiations.
