PITTSBURGH. Pa, July 6-Accord-
ing to estimates of the miners officials,

The miners officials say the operators
will claim n mine TO be In operation as
long as there are but two men at work
The operators claim that the Pan
Handle mines, operated by NJ. a. Ham
ma, where the ironclad agreement is In
force. worked as usual to-day. Tho
miners. on the other hand. maintain
that the entire Miller'H andThomas Run
district, where. these mines are located,
IL out on a strike. The operators them
selves admit that there were not the
usual number OF men at work In the
Snowden and GastOnvtiie mines, 0per-
ated By the Pittsburgh and Chicago
cornpnny, where the ironclad agreement
Is also In force.
A fair estimate shows that there are
about 10000 OF the 1000 railroad miners
now out. A list Of the mines Idle along
the rivers could not be obtained here
tonight, and reports concerning the
river situation are conflicting. The OPP
orators assert that the river mines are
nearly all running, while the miners
officials claim they are all Idle. Specials
from Mouongahela City say that 5000
out OF the 5000 river miners are on a
strike.

York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company,

the strike would be failure. We bad

FIVE mines were working In the Pitts
burgh district to-day"
At the miners headquarters President
Dolan wac apparently In the best Of
humor. lie had received reports from
nearly every part ot the district and
seemed pleased with the prospects,
More miners will Join tho movement
before tho end OF the week." said he,
"and I am perfectly satisfied with the
progress made. Yet there are some
mines that hoped would be idle that
were running to-day"
