A BIG MINERS STRIKE
Being Arranged for in the PennsyI-
vania Bituminous Region.

ALTOONA, Pa, December 81
Representatives of $4,000 miners in the
bituminous coal district are meeting
to-day at various points to consider the
feasibility of strike for a general in
crease Of thirty per cent. in wages.
At the coal towns, Lilly, Punxsutaw-
ney, Barnesbcro and Clearfeld, the ses-
sions of the wage workers are secret,
though their intentions have been ex-
pressed publicly enough. The miners
say unless the operators consent to the
demand a general strike is certain.
The operators to-day informed the men
that they regard their demands as pre-
posterous. If the miners are in earn
est, the strike WILDE declared before
January LIST.
The operators say they believe that
the conservative element in the United
Mine Workers organization will be
able to prevent a strike. 1t is said sew
eral high officials of the union are
using their best efforts to keep the men
at work, urging that a strike now would
preeipitate an industrial slump.
INDIANAPOLIS, December 27.-An
executive session of the United Mine
Workers of America was held at the
Occidental Hotel in this city to-day.
President John Mitchell, Secretary w
C. Pearce and d number of district
presidents were present President
Mitchell said the object of the meeting
was to arrange for the national con-
vention to be held in indianapolis Janu-
airy 18th, and the joint conference Of
miners and coal operators which meets
here January 22d. One of the delegates
said: Cur meeting is to accomplish
what must be left to the national con-
vention-namely, the fixing the wagc
scales and formulating other demands
that will be made at the convention. A
score of us can do more in secret ses-
sion than several hundred delegates In
open meeting. We will present our
formulated plans to the convention
which will mainly adopt them. Moth
ing at this time can be made public.
While every district president is not
present, several of them have sent sub
stitutes. A general advance of wages
will be demanded, but the advances will
be governed largely by conditions in
certain mining regions"

CAR SERVICE REPORT
Shows Wonderful Increase Over Aug
 uSt 1898

The Alabama Car Service association has issued it's report for the month of August and it shows a wonderful increase over the business done during the same month year ago. No exact figures are given out, but it is estimated that the number of cars handled have increased from p 2,500 to 000e. This includes the work of all the railroads belonging to the associa tion
 The great increase is said to be account ed for in the fact that all the railroads have done an immense business and sev- eral new distributing points have been taken in by the associa tion. Among these are Florence and Sheffield and other points in that vctity. This is getting to be q great manufacturing community and the number of cars leaving those points have necessarily been increased.
 As nearly all of the mines have increased their output and many furnaces have been blown during the last six months, the in- crease can be accounted for to a large eX- tent in that way. The numerous strikes are nearly all at an end and the output in all of these mines is getting back to its nor nal condition. The roads all claim to be doing an extensive freight business.
