MINERS STRIKE.
Labor Leaders Gathering at St. Louis
to Confer on the Matter.
AGAINST A GENERAL STRIKE
Think an Assessment on All
Union Men and q Denunciation of
Federal Injunctfons VIII Be
the Outcome.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 29.-James Carson.
district president for Illinois of the
United Mine Workers of America, ar
rived here this morning and prepare
tiOnS for the conference to be held
Monday may be said to be fairly un.
der way. President Carson is the
only one of the leaders here
yet Gompers, Sovereign, Debs and
Ratchford are mott expected until
tomorrow and the Kansas dele
CATION will arrive at the same time
Several of the striking districts in
Illinois already have men on the ground
whose chief mission appears to be to
secure financial aid for the miners
they represent Carson and all of the
delegates now in evidence appear &c
be at sea in regard to the probable
outcome of Mondays conference.
1t is generally agreed. however.
that a resolution will be passed urging
the assessment of every union man in
the United States a small percentage
of his earnings for the support of the
striking miners. Federal injunctions
will occupy a prominent place in the
proceedings and will be literally and
vigorously denounced.
Considerable excitement was caused
at labor headquarters this morning by
a rumor that commercial organizations
of ST. Louis would be represented in
the conference and would present
demand upon the operators to settle
the strike on lines desirable to miners.
This has not yet been determined on.
but such move would go long way
toward preventing any attempt to de-
clare general strike, as the avowed
L.
arouse the commercial interests of the
country to active participation in the
struggle.
Sovereign and Debs are known to
favor a general tie up, but, as one OF
the delegates remarked this morning:
sovereign and Debs are not running
this affair. A general strike would
jeopardize the interests of thousands
of union men who have no grievance
and their interests outweigh the others
just at present. We will do everything
we can to make the coal miners strike
a success, but we must be just as well
as charitable"
''It will be a united gathering of all
the heads of organized labor" said
Grant Luce. chairman of the arrange
ment committee, land its purpose is tc
further the interests OF the mine work
ers. We expect to get together all the
heads of the various organizations
Monday afternoon and to hold a big
mass meeting in the hall Monday
night"
Outbreaks of oratory will be numer-
Gus, but largely irrevelant to the spirit
of those who are really engaged in the
struggle between the miners and oper
ators. More bread and less coal is
their demand and they have no time
for words. Their families are starv-
ing as they sit by their idle pits and
watch the train loads of coal going to
market from other mines worked by
men to whom they are bound and who
are bound to them by pledges of union
brotherhood, and they want to know
the reason why.

Big Strike Threatened.

SHREVEPORT, La, Aug. 2s.-Accord-
ing to a story in circulation here there
will be a general strike upon the Kan
sas City, Pittsburg & Gulf railway
within the next two or three DAYS.
The employees of the road belonging to
the different orders OF railway men
have been nursing a grievance for
some time past on account of reduc-
tions in their scale of wages, and walk
ing delegates have been busy among
them urging them to resist the alleged
Injustice. Should the strike occur, It
is said that the entire system from
Kansas City to Port Arthur will be
tied up for an indefinite length of time.

WILL IMPORT MINERS.

Coal Operators IN the East Determined &c
Start Up Their Plants.
PITTSBURGH. Pa, Aug. IS Coal
operators of the Pittsburgh district
have not been asleep during the past
few days. The impression in certain
circles that there would be no attempt
made to start the mines seems to have
been established for a purpose, and
that purpose was to divert the atten-
ton of the miners officials 1t has
been definitely decided to start sew
era1 mines along the Wheeling di-
vision of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road. These preliminaries are
all. completed and decisive
move can be expected almost
any time. 1t was given out that the
Cleveland operators had gone to their
homes for the ostensible purpose of
awaiting the result of the St. Louis
convention. Some of them went. but
others did not. Those remaining behind
were members of the newly appointed
sub-comm ittee, whose duty it is to per
feet the arrangements for starting some
of the mines and breaking the strike.
One of the first moves was to get in
touch with the railroad companies.
The officials of the railroads at once
agreed to bring about, if possible. an
era of activity in the. coal-producing
industry of the Pittsburgh dis
trict. The expense of get
ting imported labor into the dis
trict was discussed, and the railroad
companies agreed to share their pro-
portion of the outlay. After this
hiring imported labor was taken charge
