THE STRIKING Miners
Abandon Hope Of Drawing Coke
Z. Workers Into the Strike. -
A BIG MEETING ARRANGED FOE.

II VIII Be Addressed by Samuel Com.
pers, M. p. Ratchford and M. M.
Garland. and the Strikers Expect
Great Results From 1t.
Pittsburg Aug. 70. The fact Just
made public that the men at work In
the Spring Mill mine of Dempster, Boyd
& Co. were getting So cents has further
complicated the strike situation. This
rate has been paid since July 16. There
are 90 men at work In this mine and
200 mine wagons are mined every day.
This Is dumped directly into the ten
ders Of the locomotives on the Penn
sylvania railroad. An effort will be
made by the strikers to get the miners
out, but the latter say they will con-
tinue at work until forced out.
The latest movement of the strikers
indicates that the miners leaders have
abandoned all hope of drawing the
coke region into the strike, and have
adopted plan of using the cokers to
assist the strikers In a more profitable
way.
Arrangements are being made for
big labor meeting in McKeesport on
Saturday evening. which all the strik-
ing miners In the Turtle Creek and
Monongahela valleys are expected to
attend. The speakers engaged are Sam
uel p Gompers, president Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor; M. p. Ratch-
ford, president Of the United Mine
Workers, and M. NJ. Garland, presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Association.
The strikers expect great results from
this meeting.
In order to get the men out again
the strikers will make daily marches
from Camp Victory until they regain
lost ground. The striking miners who
were former employees of the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company met
yesterday afternoon, formed perma-
nent organization and appointed COM
mittee from each mine to take charge
of the strike at those mines. Follow
ing the organization they attended
meeting at Turtle Creek addressed by
Mrs. Jones. of Chicago. at which 5000
miners and their wives were present
from the different sections of the dis
trict.
The first meeting held by the strikers
at Irwin yesterday was poorly attended
by the miners of that district, as all
were at work. Marchers to the number
of about 1000 came to the meeting
from Shaners, Suterville and other
parts of this district. The strikers pro-
pose to camp at Irwin and use their
best endeavors to get the men out.
