MAY FORCE Big STRIKE
Persistent Report That Miners Will
Go Out In April.
BOTH HARD AND SOFT COAL.
y. Pierpont Morgan Syndicate Wishes
to Reduce Wages and Break Up
the Union by Gathering Collier
les Under One Management.

WilkesbaTe, Pa, Jan. 13.-There is q
persistent report here that big strike OF
the anthracite and bituminous miners OF
the state will be forced in April by the j,
Pierpont Morgan syndicate. The object
will be the reduction of the present
wages and the breaking up of the exist.
ing and rapidly extending union. The
coal and railroad magnates see in this
union, which has now an almost solid
membership among the mine workers, a
big menace to their prosperity and a
source of continual trouble in the oper.
alton of the mines and the coal carrying
roads.
Union Wants Recognition.
The agreement made at the end Of the
big strike in the anthracite region last
September and October, which provides
for an increase in wages of 10 per cent
over the old scale, expires April 1. The
United Mine Workers will probably in.
sist upon renewal of the agreement
with the additional concession of recog-
milton of the union by the operators.
Since the success of the miners strike
unionism has advanced with tremendous
strides in the coal districts. 1t is be.
lieved by miners that one of the chief OBJ
jects of the Morgan syndicate is to fight
this growth of unionism by gathering all
the collieries under one management.

pecially trying. Many persons gave way
to despair, one lady begging a soldier fol
his revolver in order that she might shoot
herself. The insubordination of the crew
the passengers say, was partly connected
with the question of the distribution OF
food. A fireman declared that the sailors
ought to be fed first, and the same mar
refused to do any work, and the cap
tain had to present his revolver to the
