'lttsburg, July p The attention Of
the miners of the Pittsburg district Is
aow riyted On the Allison, Boone and
Enterprise mines near Canonsburg.
The Boone and Allison mines which
were closed Monday by their owners
10 prevent trouble between their men
and marching strikers resumed work
Tuesday with nearly full force. NO
attempt was made to start up at the
Enterprise mine. The strikers fear
that if these mines continue in oper-
atlcn it will induce the Enterprise men
to &c back to work. The program OF
the strikers is to make another march
on the Allison mine. The leaders
say that more than 1000 diggers Will
be E9ssed il the Pan Handle district
for the march. The district miners OF
the Pan Handle district are gathering
above Bridgerille. and ii will not be
surprising if 1000 miners are soon
found On the Washington pike. The
men in the Miller's and Toms run
districts are all idle and have plenty
of time to make another march. They
are supplying themselves with several
DAYS rations and if the proposed march
IS made they will stay about the OIL
Tending mines for several days. just

developments are expected. The men

ticm bordering on desperation. 1t has

days. One of them was served with
tH I'LL ulCllOl w ol 'iiS N'i-'
pany's property and leave the men
alone. Great hopes are eX-
ressed of persuading the Plum Creek

AS nelr as can he learned concerted
effort will be made in the near future
to bring out the men at Turtle Creek,
Sandy Creek and Flum Crock. Just
What procedure will be resortcd to is
