sidercd proper; but orders to make such
changes will not now be issued. it being

$4,000 COAL MINERS
Quit Work of Dissatisfac-
ton With the Indianapolis Agree

IlCIts
PITTSBURG, Pa, April 2.-From 1900
to 1900 coal miners in the Pittsburg dis
trict and 1900 in the Irwin district are on
a strike to-day. The cause of the trouble
in the Pittsburg district is dissatisfaction
over the work scale of the Indianapolis
agreement and was entirely unexpected.
All the river mines were forced to close
down by the refusal of the men to work,
and many of the railroad mines are idle.
In the Irwin district the miners want an
advance of 5 cents per ton. Good order
prevails in both districts.
The principal trouble in the Pittsburg
district is over the run-of-mine rate and
the pay for drivers. The drivers are not
satisfied with the advance of five per cent
granted under the Indianapolis agreement,
and are asking an advance equal to the
increase accorded to the miners, or twenty
per cent. advance. At mines where the
miners are satisfied with the digging rate,
they are unable to work on account of the
drivers being idle.
Under the provisions of the Indianapolis
agreement, which went into effect to-day,
the pay of some worker is higher than
for many years, and it is thought that an
amicable settlement can be reached with
out a prolonged strike.
While the strike is almost general, it is
not ordered by the district officers. Most
of the miners struck without knowing that
the men at the other mines had quit work.
George w. ~Schleudeberg, superintendent
of the railroad coal combine, says about
Is per cent. of their men are out. He be-
lieves that after they ave held meetings
and discussed the provisions of the scale
they will decide to return to work.
Twelve hundred miners at the Herminie
mines of the Berwind-White company and
the miners at Madison and Aroma, near
Greensburg. quit work to-day in sympathy
with the miners in the Irwin district. A
conference of the Irwin miners and opera
tors will be held tomorrow and a settle
ment of the trouble is expected.

patch from Bloemfontein, dated to-day
says:
The loss of the guns was attended
by incidents of splendid heroism. The
leading battery was SO near the Beers
ambuscaded in the river bed that the
latter said:
1T is useless your attempting to adj
vance. Throw down your arms"
1.-The sergeant of the battery, fear
ing the other battery would misunder-
stand the hindrance, rushed through
the convoy and warned his comrades,
enabling the rearmost battery to save
a portion Of the guns, which came in
to action later.
Life guardsmen and gunner got a
gun out under a tremendous fire and
four others were saved by the men
dragging them off after their horses
had been shot"
