ing division of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, only about fifty men work
ing there; all of the railroad mines
closed down with the exception of the
NJ. A. Hanna & Co. mines along the
Panhandle, the New York & Cleveland
Gas Coal company and a few individ-
ual mines which can have but little
effect on the situation.
The Hanna mines hare about one
third OF their usual number of men at
work, and this slight Increase over
yesterday appears to be the only adj
vantage the operators have gained.
The situation as to the supply cannot
be called serious as yet because there
are from twelve to fifteen millions Of
bushels of the black diamonds in
stock ut the various pools along the
river, which can be placed in this
city at short notice, and If need be a
portion Of it could be shipped to the
lakes.
Up to the present time no sign of I'M
lawfulness has developed among the
strikers and no evidence whatever
that there will be. 1t is reported that
a meeting has been scheduled between
President Ratchford, Of the mine
workers association, and President
Gompers, of the Federation of Labor,
in this city tomorrow. and the miners
officials announce that systematic
movement will be started to bring out
the diggers now Mt work for the New
York & Cleveland Gas Coal company.
The miners officials are likely to
meet with a serious stumbling block
in their efforts to induce the miners Of
the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal
company to join in the movement. A
visit to the mines to-day disclosed the
fact that large number of the men
are opposed to striking at this time
because of their contract agreement.
The officials of the company say the
men have given positive assurances
that they will remain loyal and are
in nowise alarmed over the claim Of
the miners leaders that they will have
the men out before the week closes.
