The miners officials. although very
busy, say they will do all In their power
to bring uniformity agreement. They

that they are losing sight OF the i'm
| portance OF the strike.
The call says such action as may be
deemed advisable in respect to n uni

peculiarly propitious for such action.

Is aroused and directed to this matter"
A meeting OF the River Coal Exchange
Will be held the same day TO consider
the uniformity agreement The strik-
ers contemplate move on the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Com
Dany's mines next week. A march Of
2,000 or more strikers Is one OF the
plans discussed by the district officials
TO get DeArmitt's men out. No viola
ton of the law, the strike leaders say,
will be tolerated The presence OF
such body OF miners in the vicinity
of the mines which are working, the
leaders think, would have the proper
effect In causing n suspension OF the
New York and Cleveland Company's
mines. This is pay day at the mines
along the Wheeling division OF the 3.
& 0. road. The miners did not receive
much money, however. as they worked
only three days in July. The miners
officials were busy all day distributing
provisions among the poorer families
along this division.
The strikers marched on the Equit-
able mine at Webster, this morning,
and induced the men to join them. The
Equitable is a cooperative mine.
