There ls nothing startling in the
strike situation In this vicinity, An
Intelllgencer man talked yesterday. with
miners and operators. and the certainty
OF no trouble following is as clear as
ever It was. or ever can be, with many
men IDLE. one operator said that he
could take a hundred or two hundred OF
the miners who are on strike and guard
any property that might be endanger-
ed, II n brawi OF any kind should start.
more effectively than ten times that
many nilltiamen or United States mar
shals could do. He said, and in so say
ing, voiced the sentiment of other OPP
orators and thinking people generally,
that if-the exaggerated reports, or the
continued stirring up of rebellous spir-
its by calling the peacefulness an "omi-
nous silence" should lncite the few hot
headed ones, who are always to be
found In any kind OF a body of what
ever class, to even an ordinary row,
that the miners themselves would be
able to prevent 1t being n serious dis
turbanoe.
There are hot-headed operators, even
hot-headed ministers, and at times
these might say and do things that
would excite trouble. But there is an
absence OF even the dread OF this. for
the great body on both sides OF the con-
test are OF one mind in that respect.
The strike will probably end with u
reestablshment OF the Interstate scale,
the breaking OF which is the root OF all
the trouble now and was three years
ago. That agreement may not be reach
ed this week. hut It will be reached very
shortly and the men will be striking
the veins OF coal literally with more
vigor hut not more earnestness, than
they are now striking for condition
that will bring them better pay.
Train load after train load of coal
came over the Baltimore & Ohio, and
went westward yesterday. and the day
before, and there has not been sign OF
molestation by any Of the miners in all
this section OF eastern Ohio. In fact, the
silence. the quiet. is painful, not only to
some OF the newspapers that make the
slightest suspicious gathering an ex-
cuse for sensational article, but to
those who are Impatient over the APP
parent delay in the settlement. But de-
lay Is only because OF the time neces-
sary to arrange details for the re-estab-
llshment Of system that benefited
miners and operators and the general
public. What time 1t may take is I'M
certain, of course. but the certainty OF
1t ending on amlcable terms viii pre-
vent any serious trouble. An operator
and a miner might get into quarrel,
and this be made the basis of a fright
full situation during the suspense. but
each would find his fellows condemnlng
his action. The crisis Is past In this
part Of eastern Ohio and there is not an
ominous sign to be found outside some
vivid imaginations.

A REMARKApLE PETITION
Asking Operator, TO Advance Price OF
Coal Being Circulated.


Coal Being Circulated.
A remarkable petition is being cireu-
lated In Bridgeport.
1t is nothing more or less than Pc
tition to the coal operators supplying
the retail trade OF the town, to raise the
price of coal to the consumer two cents
a busheI. Possibly this is the FIRST time
on record anywhere that consuming
class has appealed to a producing class
TO raise prices
The reason for such remarkable pet
tttlon Is not hard to And. The people of
Bridgeport, living next door to coal
producing district, know from personal
observation the deplorable poverty and
Inability OF the miners to make living
wages ut the present mining rates.
Without this realization such re-
markable petition would not be possible.
