which swept over this part of the state
was the worst in the history Of railroad

STRIKERS MAY WEN
CONTEST OF COAL MINERS "a
voRAeLE TO THE DloGERs.

Score Decided Advantage by Getting Out
Most Of the Men In the Pittsburg Dis.
trict-Railroads Connscating All Coal
Put ON the Cars.
P1rrsBuRa, July s.-Forty. EIGHT hours
after the Inauguration Of the great coal
strike comparison Of statements from
both sides engaged in the contest show
favorable results for the diggers. Dis
counting the miners officials announce
ments by the operators opinions there
seems no question that the workmen
have scored decided advantage in this
district, and 1t is believed that as the
Pttsburg district goes, so goes the coun.
try. Conservative estimates place the
number Of miners now striking In this
district at from 1900 to 1900 men,
an increase Of about 5000 for the day.
This leaves but from 5000 to 5000 men
still working.
Tho Hey. 70 the Situation.
The key to the entire situation, from
present appearances, lies in the success
or defeat Of the strikers In securing the
cooperation Of the men now working
for the New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal company. Without these men the
strike can hardly succeed, because they
will be able in q measure to supply the
demand long enough to tide over the
present embarrassment. Patrick Dolan,
president Of the Pittsburg district min.
ers, is confident that before the present
week closes he will have succeeded in
getting all of these men to join theranks
Of the strikers, and when this result is
effected the battle will be practically
won.
Operators Arc Confident.
The operators are just as confident Of
success as the miners are and have
issued a statement claiming large
accession of men in different parts Of
the district and heavier shipping list
than usual. Notwithstanding the ad'
vantages claimed for the operators, a
concensus Of opinion appears to be in
favor of the miners, inasmuch as the
operators can only hope for temporary
relief with their present facilities. and
the miners officials seem to be in fail
way to effectually cripple even these BY
constantly adding to their number from
tho ranks Of those remaining at work.
