A COAL STRIKE

Inanguratcd Yesterday by Miners Of
the Wheeling Steel Works Bank ut
Bcnwood-Poor Sanitation Alleged.
The first coal miners strike Of 1899 In
this section Is on ut Benwood. The
men employed at the bank operated by
the Wheeling steel works, went out on
strike yesterday at noon. on account Of
the discharge earlier in the day OF two
OF their number. About thirty men
are involved and the bank is idle.
These two men, Mcssrs. Bowman and
Junkins. were discharged by the mine
boss, Squire Henry Riddle. A commit
tee Of the men then asked their REIN
statement, and Superintendent Riddle,
refusing. the men refused to continue
work until such time us Bowman and
Junkins be taken back. It was report
ed In Bcnwood yesterday that the men
they may appoint committee to con-
fer with the mil! management direct.
The cause for the discharge OF the
two men, which the others think was
unjust, Is said to have been the foul
air In the mine. The air has been so
impure for some time that 1t was not
infrequent for the men to be forced to
quit work. and Bowman and Junkns
were the loudest In their complaints.
They threatened to send for the state
mine inspector to visit the mine and
examine its unsanitary condition. and
their talk was repeated to Supcrintcn-
dent Riddle by an emplOye. This Is
the story given by the strikers, and an
effort to locate Squire Riddle and get
his side of the case yesterday was un-
successful,
