WOMEN TO THEFRONT
TAKING ACTIVE HAND IN
THE MINERS STRIKE
1grs. Mary Jones. tho Chicago Asitat0r,
says the Saceess or Fsilare Of the
strike Rests with the wives Of the
Mlners.

PIrrsBURe,. Pa. Aug. 9-Although
rest among the strikers, probably the
most effective work among the Plum
Creek miners was performed, and as .
result the strikers have been assured
that considerably less than 2OO men
will be ut work to-day at the mine.
A large mass meeting was held At
Camp Isolation. at Plum Creek, which,
In addition to about 1000 others, was
attended by about zoo women. tho
wives and daughters of the miners
who are still 1T work in the Plum
Creek mine.
Because Of the many restrictions put
on the strikers, they have hitherto
been unable to get chance to argue
their cause with the Plum creek work.
men, and the occasion given them was
taken advantage of to the fullest ex-
tent The unusual opportunity was
the result of tho missionary work of
the wives of tho strikers from McDon-
aid, Finleyville and Carnegie. These
women have been working assiduously
during the past week. and secured the
promise of the wives of the working
miners to attend the meeting and
bring their husbands
The result of the meeting was the
assurance from nearly hundred men
that they would join the strikers to-
day. The plan is for the men to work
until they receive their twenty days
pay, which will be given them to-day,
end then they are to desert the pit,
leaving only eight days wages back,
which, judging by the action of the
company in the case of the Sandy
Creek strikers, will be refused them.
If this plan does not miscarry, the
strikers think it will be only ques-
tion of very short time until the De-
Armit mines are tied up completely.
The meeting to-day was inaugurated
by religious services conducted by
Rev. Lincoln Lash. assisted by a choir
of twenty colored jubilee singers,
after which Mrs. Mary Jones. the
Chicago agitator, spoke for about an
hour, putting the case very plainly to
the women auditors. She placed the
responsibility for the success or failure
of the strike on the wives and made q
decidedly favorable impression.
