An Era of General Suspension Has
Been Wrought.
THOUSANDS OF IDLE MEN AND
EMPTY COAL CARS WHICH LINE
THE RAILROAD TRACKS ATTEST
THE EXTENT OF THE MOVE
MENT-THE MINERS ARE
GREATLY ELATED BY THEIR
SUCCESS so FAR.

Pittsburg, July 12.-To.day marks the
beginning of the second week of the coal
miners strike, and already it gives pro-
mise of being one of the greatest wage
struggles in the history of this country.
Eight days ago the coal Operators In this
district and the miners themselves little
dreamed that within one short week
such an era of general suspension could
be wrought as now exists in the bitumin-
GUS mining industry.
Then the mouths of the many coal tip,
pies that dot the Monongahela. Youghi-
ogheny, Allegheny and Peters Creek val
ley, and the valleys of Toms aud Millers
run we're open and turning ont thousands
and thousands of tons of the best coal
that enters into the competitive markets
of the world. Now all is changed. The
vast caverns are like so many gravcyards.
On the hilsides, hasking in the shade,
there is On army Of $4,000 unemployed,
who are anXiously waiting for more to
join the troops of iflers. On nearly every
railroad track leading to the mines there
stand empty cars, apparently anxious to
be loaded that their burdens may be
railrOaded to the ports along the lakes.
The success that has attended the
movement has greatly eluted tho
miners, and during the next few days
every effort will be made to bring out the
men in the few mines that are still
working. This will be II difficult task,
but they express confidence in their abil-
ity TO make the suspension complete be-
fore the w. tx is forty eight hours Old
From the best information obtainable
the Pittsburg operators are in no hurry
to have the difficulty adjusted, rs many
of them had stocks on railroad sidings
which they held for an advance. Much
OF this was disposed of Saturday Mt n
good profit. One prominent operator
said to-day that it would take another
week to determine the exact state of the
market, and by that time n general
cleaning up will have taken place. All
intereste will be ready to begin bust
ness on new basis and probably n
higher price.
Just now the greatest obstacle in the
way of success OF the miners is the activ-
ity of the diggers in the West Virginia
fields. They are working night ami day
and are getting ready to supply all the
coal that is needed They are repeating
what they did three years ago when n
general suspension was declared. At
that time there were II number of opera.
tors in the Mountain State chat were on
the verge of bankruptcy The gene raj

suspension was declared, and there came
u great demand for coal at prices that in
sured big profit. The operators rallied
around them "a large number of men,
whose friendship and support they have
encouraged ever since. The operators
profited by thousands of thousands of
dollars. They realized that they owed
much of their profit to their miners, and
rewarded them for It, On every sue
ceeding pay day the faithful miners were
paid bonuses in the shape of gold pieces,
and naturally the best of feeling prevails
among employers and employees.
This is the condition of affairs the or
ganizers that will go into West Virginia
districts this week will have to encoun-
ter. 1t is argued by the miners that
there are more men out in that section
than there were three years ago, and they
express the greatest confidence in bring
ing them out if they can get their ears.
This failing, the railroad organizh tions
will be appealed to. J'his plan of CAM
paign has been outlined by the national
officers, and Developments Of the week
will be watched with interest.
The miners officials say that the sue
cess of the movement depends OH the ac-
ton OF the West Virginia miners. They
argue that many men in the PittsburH
district Who were not affiliated with their
organization sacrificed thousands of dol
lars and joined it. They will tell the
Mountain STATE diggers of the success in
this district, and every effort will he
made to have them join.

Mitchell, in his neK work, gives concise

object cannot be attained and the best
whist players are those who are quickest at
perceiving when, It, Is incumbent on them
to abandon the idea Of making a great

reach out for all the stray tricks in sight.
When you cannot Df1ng IN your long suit

ton OF preventing your adversaries from

best weapons to employ. The smallest
trump is good for the largest plain suit

and your partner cannot make the most

many ways In which rufiing may be used
to advantage"
One OF the soundest plays in which is to
keep the lead from the hand that has an
established suit. The trumps have been
drawn for the benefit of that hani by his
partner. and often the partner will have to
resort to the Descfiapelle's coup. i.e, lead
ing out a king. hoping the adversary will
take, enabling his partners queen of the
suit to get the lead. Good players hold off
the ace preferring to lose trick rather
than three. II the hand gets In the lead that
has the winning cards.
