IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Strikers Are showing Material Gains In
All Sections.

All sections.
Wheeli9g, w. Va, Aug. 1S.-The strik-
ers show material gains in all sections Of
West Virginia. In the Wheeling dis
trict there is not miner working, while
on the Ohio side of the river the last
man, except those who are to furnish
coal for water and elctric light plants.
are out. In the Fairmont district the
strike leaders did not succeed in closing
the Montana mine entirely, but they
made decided gains The camp will be
maintained till the last man leaves his
work, when these recruits will be taken
with the main body to the other Watson
company's mines to help close them.
IN the Kanawha valley about 300
men have gone 90 work since Monday
morning, but more than that number
have left their work. The trouble is
that the mines are so far apart that
concentrated action is hard to get. In
the Norfolk and western region the or
ganizers have gone to work again with
a will. and in sufficient numbers to
prove effective. The leaders are getting
on the United States court injunctions,
and find upon careful reading that they
prohibit nothing but trespass. and do not
apply to speechmaking or assemblage
on public ground. They are no longer
a cause of alarm TO the organizers.

Creek Monday the camp at that point
was abandoned and the men went to
Plum Creek In addition 200 men ar
rived at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning

ers say ii is TO prevent his arrest by
any constable, which would be impos-
sible as long as he is in the sheriff 5
