markets beyond demand for shipment. II

a BIG JUMP.
Coal Prices Advanced $50 Per Cent.
since The Strike nernu


Pittsburgh, Pa, July 10. - The
miners strike is causing the price of
coal to still advance and il is selling at
s1.s0. an increase of $50 per cent. since
the commencement of the struggle.
The feature Monday in matters pertain
ing 10 the strike was the presence in the
city of the joint arbitration board, who
are endeavoring by every means pos
sible TO bring to peaceable cor clusion
the strife now in progress. The board
held informal sessions and in the inter
walls interviewed quite a number of
operators, the big majority of whom
are in favor of arbitration. provided all
of the operators will abide by the de-
cision rendered.
At mass meeting held at West New
ton Vice President Mckay, of the min
ers' association, said he believed the
West Virginia mines would be closed
down within two weeks. If they are
not. he said, the railroad men would be
called on 10 bring work to a standstill
in that state
There is a ss-ong indication of BAL
famine confronting the country with
in the next ten days. 1t is claimed by
conservative operators that the mar
ketable supply at present, which is
placed at 10,O0O,O 900 bushels, would be
only able 10 meet the demands for the
market for about a month under or
binary conditions. With the scarcity
of coal already prevailing at the lake
ports, il is claimed the supply will not
last over two weeks a the longest.
Cleveland, O., July 13.-Positive in
formation has been received in this
city that the Ohio railroads have de-
cided to refuse to haul West Virginia
coal. These roads include the Balti-
more & Ohio, the Cleveland, Lorain &
Erieand the Cleveland, Canton & South
ern. An effort is now being made to
verify the information. Railway Off
Gals deny the report.
indianapolis, Ind, July II. - Gov.
Mount said Monday that his sympathy
is all with the strikers in the present
contest between the operators and min
ers. He is investigating his authority
as chief executive TO take a hand in the
struggle, and if he sees his way clear
will appoint an investigating commits
sion. The governors action in that
event will depend upon the report of
the commission from actual contact
with the strikers. The governors pet
aversion is the "pluck me" store.
Springfield, H., July 13.-Presideut
!. NJ. Carson, of the Illinois United
Mine Workers, arrived here Monday
night from Danville. The 1900
miners in the Vermillion field, he
stated, were out, and the miners in every
shaft in Illinois north of and including
Pana were out or had voted to come
out. 'By Saturday" President Carson
stated, 'every miner in Illinois, we be-
lieve, will have joined the strike"
President Carson stated that if left to
Illinois and Indiana operators settle
ment would be effected with the men at
once. He predicts that a general settle
ment will be brought about within the
next two weeks.
