CUMBERLAND, Nd, May THE
anticipated break in the strike of the
Georges Greek miners came this after
noon when over 500 men applied for
and received their tools. They will
go to work in the morning, and to-
morrow may witness a general break
at all the mines.
The miners at Ocean and Consoli-
dation Coal Company's mines, where
the first to make the break, 100 apply
ing for tools. They were soon fol-
lowed by the men at the other mines.
A notice was posted this morning
but quickly torn down, calling upon
the men to break away from the agita-
tors who were getting paid for nam
tanning a strike while the other regions
were filling contracts. The notice fur
Their stated that it was useless for this
region to contend for sixty cents with
competitive regions supplying the de-
mand for coal.
The strike has been on less than a
month. The miners were granted an
increase April 1 from 40 to So cents
but demanded sixty.
The determination of the miners to
go 10 Work, II is reported, was brought
about by the women, who, having gone
through the strikes of 1882 and 1892,
knew the suffering that was in store
for them. They are reported to have
gone to one of the organizers and or
dered him to leave the region.
There were 5000 miners in the strike
and 10000 people seriously affected.
There is general rejoicing over the
action of the men. VIM. Warner, CT
Pittsburg, who organized the strike, is
still contending that the men will rot
go to work in face of the fact that they
are applying for tools in droves.
There is some fear that an attempt
will be made to prevent the men going
to work, but this is not likely as the
number is too great. The miners cried
to get the operators to grant them a
conference but failed, the operators be-
ing determined to crush the union.

squads, sheltered by the ridges south
of the town, whence they stood off the
FIiplnos for three hours. Then 20
armed members of the local police
force sailed out to help Estes Amer
leans. The latter, with the police,
