growth OF our town during the whole OF

The revival in the iron industry has kept
the two lJ0-ton furnaces of Pulaski run

Zinc Company have kept their thirteen
furnaces running without any stop du-
ring tho whole year. The two foundries
have found no trouble I'm dsposng Of their
products as fast as they were ready. and
their business shows large Increase over
1897. The Pulaski Milling and Manufac-
turing Company have a very large trade
In -four, ana also in lumber. The compile
ton of the handsome new courthouse,
the handsomest county courthouse in the
State, marked the close OF last year, and
gave a fresh impetus to building for the
year 1888. Within the year about sixteen
new buildings have been erected, not one

COAL STRIKE LOOKED FOR.
Hanna's Manager Doesn't Think IL
Can BE Ayerted.

PITTSBURG, PA. January "A gene
raj strike in the bituminous coal region is
looked for on the termination OF the pres
ent agreement. This strike can only be
averted by the miners and operators
reaching an amicable agreement at the
convention TO DO held in this city next
week.
A reported interview with Operator
Thomas Young, manager of the Hanna
coal interests. IS as follows:
TWO SIDES FAR APART.
ct is the intention of the operators TO
reduce the minimum scale Of wages. The
operatives cannot afford To maintain the
present rate The miners want higher
rate. and the operators claim that re-
duction must be made. You can readily
see that the miners and operators are far
apart. There seems to be little chance OF
their getting together. The operators do
not see how they can maintain the pres
ent scale. Coal is now being sold below
cost. The miners in this district, COM
prising four States. are well paid. II they
could work full time. They have done
pretty well during the past year; in fact,
they have made more money than the
operators.
WEST VIRGINIA COMPETITION
THE operators in this district pay so
much more for mining than the operators
in the West Virginia District that they
are not able 10 compete with them. We
lose business right along for the rea-
son that we cannot meet the competition.
one result Of the strike will be an ad-
vance in the price of coal. l do not an
ticipate coal famine, for the reason that
coal can be obtained from twenty diff
ferent fields. The inevitable result Of the
strike will be that the operators win win.
The operators do not look for trouble be-
fore April lst"
