 | Wheeling. w. Va July 31.--The mining situation in the Wheeling district today was as follows About half of the force
 were at work in two mines and about forty were at work at Elm Grove. Only 1 two men returned to work at Mounds l vile and it is not likely the effort to re- 1 sume there will be successful. Seere- tary Lewis, of the Ohio miners, addressed
 the Elm Grove strikers today. There | is likely to be clash between those who l returned to work and those who stuck
 to the strike. The Glendale company posted notices that all who did not re-
 turn to work were discharged. This brought about half the force to terms. l The situation at Dillonvale and Fair. mont remains practically the same as yesterday. Judge Mason announced this 1 evening that the injunction granted at 1 the solicitation of the operators was not | permanent. The miners do not seem to l care anything about the injunction. The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor as- l sembly has issued call for mass meet 1 ing of all citizens in sympathy with the 1 strikers for next Thursday evening. Scottdale, Pa., July 31.-Scott Cum
