and the strikers VIII Win.
Washington Aug. 25.-President Comp
ers of the American Federation of Labor
gave his view of the present coal strike
situation to the Associated Press to-day
as follows
"The situation as gather 1t from the re
ports of our organizers indicate that
between 60 and 60 per cent of the mines in
West Virginia are now closed down com
pletely. A letter have just received from
the Cooper and Pocahontas districts is
brmming with confidence and says the
work in that region has been reduced one
half in the last fortnight and predicts
general collapse very soon. So long as The
West Virg MIA miners continued opera
tions there were, of course, little hope Of
an absolSte victory for he miners, because
West Virginia could supply the urgent
needs of the market But with the sus-
pension in West Virginia becomes general
if the miners in the states of Pennsyi-
Vania, Ohio. Illinois and indiana, keep
the ranks broken, as ! am confident they
will, the strike must result in an abso-
lutte victory for the men. Before Sept Is
the lake trade must he supplied The sit
uation becomes daily more acute, and
while ! hesitate to fix a day. l believe
the strike win terminate by the end of
September and that n settlement will be
reached in favor Of the miners"
When Nh Compers attention was called
TO the great destitution and suffering
among ihe strikers, he said that the coal
opera tors had taught the miners how 20
suffer. They had been drilled in hardship
by the operators. They would continue to
endure their trials a little longer in the
hope Of relieving their situation perma-
nently in the future.

election of the Smith faction was also
ruled as illegal. Another election was
called for Sept. IA and, it is probable that
