oaristian Endeavor Delegates Take an
Afternoon For Sightseeing.
SAN FRANCISCO, July l2.-The after
noon was devoted to recreation by the
delegates. Enthusiastic as they have
been in the work of the convention, they
cannot deny that a season of rest in the
midst of their labors is necessary, there
fore they elected to lay aside more
serious things for time and enjoy
themselves as fully as possible. The
chief feature, apart from the meetings
of the morning was the open air con-
cert by the Golden Gate Park band, and
there were more people in the park than
have been seen there for many day.
Thousands of people from the East
continue to pour into town and it is
estimated that not less than $4,000
visitors have already arrived, although
several trains are still delayed. The ar.
rangements for the ntion made by
General Secretary Il, aided by the
local committees, are admirable and
every one is pleased.
Summing parties through Chinatown
are being organized and are proving a

Coal Miners Strike Now Conferred In West
Virginia Fields.
P1TTsBURG, July l2.-The decision of
the labor leaders at the conference in
this city, to send organizers to West
Virginia, and to furnish funds to bring
out the miners i'll that state. practically
narrows down the strike to fight be-
tween the coal operators of West Vir-
ginia and the labor unions of the coun-
try. The cry of union miners will now
be that with West Virginia in line the
strike will ultimately be successful. No
money or effort will be spared, it is said,
to accomplish the suspension of every
mine III that state. Special organizers
will also be sent to the mines of the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company, and every argument used
upon the men to induce them to join in
movement. Many operators il this dis.
trict are anxious to get the miners Of the
New York and Cleveland company out,
and in several instances money has been
offered to pay the wages of De Armit' s
men if they consent to strike.
Coal Is q Scarce Article.
Coal is very scarce article in the
Pittsburg market, and it is impossible
to buy in carload lots. A representative
of an oil we'll drilling firm, made appli-
cation for a carload and was told by the
operator that he could not get it. He
was advised TO get team of horses and
haul what he needs for present wants.
The oil man said if fuel could not he
procured it would cause suspension of
field work in this section. Operators
are making every effort to protect con.
tracts for future delivery. Failure to
deliver on these conditions will entail
heavy loss, as thousands of dollars will
be forfeited. A prominent operator
said that the local market will be we'll
cleaned up by the end of the week, and
higher prices will result.
