| Pittsburc Pa, Aug. 3.-Thc strikers
are slowly winning their points about the
! De Armtt mines. They have already
| practically closed the Sandy Creek and
| Oak Hill mines. and the Plum Creek
men are coming out in small bodies.
| The marchCrS claim they have succeed
| ed in inducing those of the miners who
! live at Coalport, where the Plum Greek
! tlpple IS located, to join the ranks. This
! reduces the number of men i'll the mine
| by fifty. The Plum Creek miners living
| at Center, near the pit mouth. entered
| the mine, some of them i'll the usual way,
| and others through an opening that was
| not guarded.
There are $50 men ncar the mine and
! as soon as possible large tent will he
| procured for them to sleep in. They have
! a brass band and this morning their
! larder was added To by Il WagunlOad of
/ provisions. The success of the campers
! III bringing out the CoalOort miners
! frightened the spirits of the men and
| made them more positive of victory.
| Wives Come 70 Camp.

! about > o'clock this morning when a
! dozen Of women. half of them with their
| children, walked into camp. They are
! the wives of the miners. aud they said
! they had come to stay as long as their
husbands and brothers were there. and
/ hat they would cook. They were given
three cheers. They had read in the pa
pCrs that the men were foot-sUrc and
tired. and last night held meeting at
Willow Creek. They raised money
enough I" buy transportation. and more
will follow. The question of where to
| keep them at night at once presented
itself, but the difficulty was solved hy

ing.
President Dolan expressed himself that
the strike would be over i'll two weeks
after De Armitt'S mines ar" closed. The
total output of the Oak Hill mine ycStcr-
| day was eight cars, and it will be less
