Fairmont. W. Va, July 26.-The
strike of the miners, so far as it affects
Fairmont. is a fiat failure, and nothing
which the agitators can do now, with
the miners themselves, can retrieve it.
Every card has been played, except
the stopping Of the railroads, and no
one believes now that there is any au-
thOrity among the labor leaders which
can accomplish that.
Mahon and the other organizers are
disgusted. and MahOu is making
claims like a man who has lost all
and has but assertion left He wired
Ratchford to-day that 5000 men were
out in this field, and that the strike was
won. when, in fact. there are not 5000
.ig1 in the field, and there as not as
many men idle as there were on Sat
urday. while the number at work Is
largely increased by the arrival Of men
from elsewhere.
To-day. the Luther, Hutchinson and
Beechwood miners came out, in part,
aggregating about 125 men. To Offset
this. the Monongah Company alone re-
ceived so men from the Connellsville
region and will have as many more to-
morrow. The Watson mines found
luite a number who wanted to go to
r%A and from the ranks Of the strik=
srs at other mines, the workers made
gains
The management of the MonOngah
and Watson mines made a move that
had been expected for some days and
which will probably permanently break
up the efforts Of the organizers to do
business in Fairmont and Marion
county.
Col. ]. A. Flichnger and J. E.
Watson. the presidents respectively Of
the Monongah and Watson mining COM
panies. appeared before Hon. John w.
