their energies are bent TO tie up the
state. Great things are expected from

STRIKE MATTERS UNCERTAIN.
This Week Will Develop the Situa-
ton, all Depends on West Vir-

ton, all Depends on West Vir-
| ginia.
Pittsburg, Pa, July 19.-Unless the
miners leaders are able to get West
Virginia diggers out early this week.
the local strike situation promises to
grow very interesting about the last
of this. week and come to crisis next
Monday morning. AS indicated in the
Associated Press dispatches last
night, several local operators announ-
ced that they were tired of seeing
their contracts get away from them,
and that the mines now supplying their
trade must be stopped or their own
mines will be put in operation. The
district board of miners organization
has been notified as above by corps
of the more important operators.
Observation-Disclosures Rzlohv-jIAET
AS was said early in the strike all
depends on Pittsburg, and unless Pitts
burg is able to shut down the West
Virginia mines, it is probable the
strike will be broken before there is a
chance to complete the arbitration
| uniformity" arrangement. Miners
officials admit that If any big mines of
the district now idle be put in opesra-
ton a majority of the. other diggers o
the district would return to work at
once. Pittsburg operators will wait a
day or so. If West Virginia men are
still at work on Wednesday the agents
of the local companies will go on a
skirmish for men,. At the same time
application will be made to the sheriff
for a large force of deputies. The
miners officials are banking everything
on the ability of the labor organiza-
tons to get the West Virginians out.
They say in case the operators do try
to transfer the fight to this district
now, all the forces now at work in
West Virginia will be brought to this
state and put to work.

London, June 1.-The correspondent
of The STANDARD at Constantnople tel
egraphs that the prevelant opinion
there is that Germany is playing a
bold game in order to force Russia to
declare openly either for orr against
Turkey.
According to q dispatch to The Daily
News from Odessa, theSe is revival
Of the report that Russia is negotiat-
ing with Turkey to get port in the
Mediterranean. 1t Is also rumored that
when peace between Grece and Turkey
Is concluded Russia will demand the
exclusive privilege of free passage for
her fleet through the Bosphorus and
the Dardenelles.
The correspondent of The Standard
at Athens says: The Greeks are great
ly encouraged by the rumor that q
navy contractor named Kolla has re-
ceived an order to provision the Brit
ish fleet of forty men of war, to be
concentrated at Phalaroum.
The, Athens correspondent of The
Times urges the powers to make
speedy and firm statement as to the
Cretan difficulty and to insist upon
Turkish evacuation, after which, he
says, the Cretan chiefs would be will
ing to accept autonomy. If, on the con-
trary, Turkey is allowed to send more
troops to Crete there will be a re-
newal of the horrors of 1SG6-GS.
