MINERS GO ON STRIKE.
Fifteen Hundred in the Wilkesbarre
District Ordered Out.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. July 16.-At a
meeting Of the executive board of the
United Mine Workers of district No.
/ 1900 miners in the employ of the
Kingston Coal company We're ordered
to go out on strike The order will be
obeyed and all the collieries of the
company will be idle in consequence.
The men claim the price paid for
yardage on narrow work was reduced
from sl.50 yard to 81. A grievance
committee representing the employees
waited on General superintendent
Williams and said that the agreement
made with the company some time
ago had been broken when the reduc-
tion in price was made. Superintend-
ent Williams said 81 a yard was all
the company could afford to pay. The
matter was then referred to the eX-
ecutive board of the mine workers,
which, after long session, decided
to order the strike.
