cede the Strikers Demands.
Pittsburg, Aug. 30.-The smaller coal
operators of the district are going ahead
with their plans to reopen their mines at
the 69-cent rate. A committee has been
appointed to sound all the mine-uwners
who are supposed to be favorable to the
plan. a meeting of those interested win
be held tomorrow. These operators are
generally kept going by the Big Thir-
teen" the firms controlling the lake trade,
who do not produce all the coal they
require, and, therefore, must purchase from
others.
The miners officials have already been
consulted, but have given no definite re-
ply. 1t is possible that the miners officials
may consent to the plan of the small oper-
ators, believing that if they viii pay the
69-cent rate the larger shippers may be
forced to DO the same.
