CLEVELAND, o.. July 9.-The surprise
of the day came when Dan R. Hanna, the
manager of NJ. A. Hanna & Co, received
message stating that every single miner
employed at the company's mines had gone
out The Hanna people have been confident
of their ability to hold their men. Informa-
ton received here shows that the shut
down of the Wheeling division Of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railway is absolute. Cen
eral Manager Woodford, of the Cleveland.
Lorain & Wheeling Railway; says that no
coal is being mined along his road. He Is
not prepared to say that he will not haul
West Virginia coal. Colonel Herrick, of the
Wheeling & Lake Erie, has not yet decided
what he will do regarding the West Vir-
ginia fields. He does not doubt that there
will be serious trouble if he hauls West Vir-
ginia coal. but he is inclined 10 believe
that the attempt to haul it will be made.
Unless coal begins coming into CLEVELAND
in a few days the situation in the city will
be serious. The lighting companies fear the
city may be left in darkness, the director
of public works is alarmed over his ability
to keep the water supply going. the street
railway companies fear a suspension of
travel and manufacturing concerns with or
ders to fill are fearful lest their plants Will
have TO shut down for want of fuel.

HELP FOR STRIKERS.


ted now that the coal dealers and mine
operators were very poorly prepared for
a strike. The great pl2nt of the Cleveland
Steel Company closed this morning owing
to lack of fuel. A Number of other plants
are preparing to shut down.
Judge Stevenson Burke, railroad counsel
and possessing extensive interests in rail-
roads. said to-day: Il do not know of any
law giving railroad companies authority TO
cOnfiscate an independently shipper coal
There is strong probability that the street
railways and the suburban electric rail-
ways may have to shut down for want of
coal. The Big and Little Consolidated rail
way companies have coal sufficient only
for three days. Fifteen cars consigned TO
the Big Consolidated were confscated by
the railroad companies to-day The street
railways are much concerned over the
matter.
The coal miners in the Wheeling & Lake

Col. Myron T. Herrick the receiver for the
Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway, received a
private dispatch at noon saying that only
one man went to work at DtllonVille to-day
where the receiver for ~he wheeling ~

Herrick said that he was led to believe that
the men wanted to work and therefore he
secured protection for them: He fully eX-
pected that one thousand miners would go
to the mine and was considerably aston

Twenty-Five deputy marshals were OH hand
to protect the miners. The full force or
this intelligence can be appreciated when
it was stated Cleveland manufacturers ana
shippers expected that If matters came TO
the very worst the district covered by the
Wheeling & Lake Erie would supply what
ever coal was needed. This means TO CieVe-
land now a practical tie up of all the Cleve-
land operators.
Mr.. j. B. Zerbe president of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Coal Company, is the most
sanguine. He thinks the strike Will be over
in a few days and thinks that the officers
of the United Mine Workers Association
are only making a grand stand play. He

the mining business and the cause of mea-
