WHEELING, July 2S.-Tho coal strike
in this state does not show much
change. At Fairmont the MonOngah
mine secured a number Of men to their
working force, making 100 men EN-.
ployed, about two.thirds of the force
before the strike. Eighty men came
into the field from Connellsville and
We're put to work in the various mines.
All the Watson mines are working full,
as are the Castor, Montana, New En-
gland and West Fairmont.
Although the workers are devoting
herculean efforts to the kanawha val.
ley, they appear to be doing little good.
On the Norfolk and Western the mines
are nearly all working and shipping
heavily. As the result of q big meet
idg held by Secretary. Treasurer Z. l..
Lewis at Moundsville the men at the
MOundsville and Glendale mines are all
out. At the Boggs run mines in this
city the men promise to quit.
At Clarkshurg the new lodge Of
United Mine Workers Of America has
already about half the men in this sec.
tiou enrolled, and before the end of the
week will have two thirds and will con.
troll the situation.
The injunction granted the operators
at FairmOnt prohibiting meetings has
helped the miners cause Many who
were against going out have become
indignant.

ship Indiana to Halifax to be docked
and cleaned. 1t is felt to be necessary
TO do this in order to prevent injury to
the hull of the ship from corrosion.
The department would have much pre-
ferred to send the Indiana to Port
Royal, S. c., for this purpose, but the
opinion of the best navigators in the
navy department was that it would be
decidedly risky in the present unsatis-
factory condition of the approaches to
the dock there.
While the naval officers deplore tho
necessity for thus sending our finest
ship to a foreign dock, they say the
practice is not new nor uncommon.
