ident today received the resolution
adopted yesterday by the Pittsburg
council asking him to use his good offices
in the settlement of the coal strike. but

received many communications and sug-

matter in the absence of some definite
plan for the settlement of the strike.
The cabinet meeting today discussed
this matter informally.

ILL.,, out, the army of strikers that has
been marching from town to town per-
suading men at different points to quit
work, left this afternoon for Belleville,

marching strikers say they will force
them to do so. -.

THEY DIDN'T DO IT
WHEELING, w. Va. July 2O-Not-
withstanding the break among the min
ers in the Fairmont district, large guam
titles of West Virginia coal is passing
through Wheeling for the west and the
lakes. There has been no repetition of
the driving of spikes in the frogs on the
Wheeling and Lake Erie, which occurred
on Monday and the miners of the East
ern Ohio district are strenuous in de-
nouncing any knowledge of the act. So
far there is no clue to the perpetrators.
TROUBLE FEARED
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 2O.-The at
tention of the miners of the Pitteburg
district is now riveted on the Allison
Boone and Enterprise mines near Can
onsburg The Boone and Allison mines,
which were closed yesterday by the own
ers to prevent trouble between their men
and the marching strikers, resumed to- |
day with nearly full force. No attempt |
was made to start up at the Enterprise |
mine. The strikers fear that If these |
mines continue in operation it will in |
duce the Enterprise mem to go back to
work. The program of the strikers is to
make another march on the Allison mine. |
The leaders said this morning more than |
1000 diggers would be massed in the |
Panhandle district and another march |
made on the mine. Tonight the miners |
of the Panhandle district were gathered,
above Bridgeville and it will not be sur
prising if 1000 miners are found on the
Washington pike in the morning. The
men in the Miller's and Tom s. Run dis
tricts are all idle and have plenty of
time to make another march. They were
supplying themselves with several days
rations, and, if the proposed march is
made they will stay about the offending
mines for several days.
Just at this stage Of the strike sensa
tional developments are expected. The
men are beginning to feel the pangs of
hunger and want and are in condition
bordering ON desperation.
The coal markets were quiet today.
Much coAl was offered at $1.25 ton.
