POSSIBILITY OF A COAL STRIKE.
Chesap eake 4 Ohio Will Suffer If the Min-
ers GoOut.

The announcement THAT the miners
in the New River and kanaNha Goa!
districts have been ordered to so out
ON strike April l, unless the operators
ag!ee TO meet the terms offered by the
United Mime Workers, has caused some
what " a stir in lOca railway Iltces.
The coal dumped at the piers III this
CITY by the Chesapeake & Ohio rail-
road is taken exclusively from the New
River and kanawha mines and i'm the
event of a strike in those districts the
Chesapeake & Ohio's immense uoal bsls
mess would be tied up.
The operators of the two rivers met
at Charleston, W. Va, yesterday ard
had a long conference concerning the
SitIa ton.
They positively declined to aceede to
the demands of the miners because they
ia m they cannot profTtably pay the ud-
v2hce asked FOR.
the West Virginia operators sign the
Chicago agreement, which calls for an
eight hoctr scale. uniform screens and
40 cents a ton tor mining soft coal
The New River and kanawha miners
are only receiving 80 cents a Ton.
Unless the rate is raised to 40 cents
on or before April l two thousand men
will so uut on strike.
IF the miners do so out un the list
of April" said q We'll known CFhessi-
peake & Ohio official yesterday. st Will
result in "a complete tie-llp as far as
the business Of the Chesapeake & Ohio
is concerned as that is the only dis
tic; from which We get our supply.
Il nave strong doIhts. however. about
the success of the efforts ito make the
men go out. I am confident that there
VIII he no strike. Why should there
be? Those miners are Wen paid. They
did not go out during the recent GOAL
strike ard in consequence the Chesa-
peake & OHIO did an immense coal
traffic where the Norfolk & Western
did a meacre business from the Pocu
hontas mines.
We are doing a splendid business
now and I have hopes that lit viii in
