WEEK OF GAINS FOR
STRIKING MINERS

take advantage of strikes elsewhere
and greatly extend our markets. They
are earning from So to $40 per day, and a
visit to any OF our mines will convince
anyone that they are living we'll.
THE only strikers are indictments
and oilers, who are always to be found
around any large industry
ELKHORN, w. Va. June SIT was
raining here all day. and the meetings
scheduled to be held by the strikers
throughout the district were abandoned
The operators are saying nothing, but
the strikers are predicting that the
miners in the Flat Top and Tug River
districts. who refused to join the strik
ers on Saturday. will not go to work to-
morrow, and that not more than 10 per
cent OF the miners employed in the sur
rounding coal fields will be at work on
Tuesday.
1t is said that the operators in the
Tug River district are making arrange
ments to bring non-union men into the
mines If their employees should strike.
and individual strikers in great num-
bers are predicting violence.
Work or Move Out.
At Davy, in the Elkhorn district, OPP
orators have posted notices saying that
they will evict all miners living in
company houses who do not go back to
work tomorrow.
There is still much tension between
operators and miners in the Thacker

last strike. The usual output of coal
in the New River district is 800 cars,
but not more than 1856 cars were shipped
out yesterday.
The mines in the Guyandotte Valley
are unaffected by the strike. The de-
mands OF the miners there were grant
ed on Friday night.

After the service the royal carriages
proceeded separately TO their various
destinations. only the King and Queen )
original party as it left the palace re-
turning thereto, this time by way OF the
Embankment.
Again they met the heartiest welcome
from the crowds, which were now far
greater than earlier in the day.
The form of service and the prayers
used at ST. pauls had been circulated
through the kingdom. and were gener-
ally used in all the Episcopal churches.
while in practically ever house of
worship in the kingdom the national
anthem was sung.

THE STRIKE IN THE
BITUMINOUS FIELDS
Both Sides Expect That Satisfactory
Showing Will Be Made
TODAY.

CLARKSBURG, W. Va. June S.-The
success or failure of the strike in the
West Virginia coal fields will probably
be pretty definitely known tomorrow
OF the three great coal districts of the
State. the Norfolk and Western and the
New River have probably half to
three ourths of the miners out and the
mines are closed. In the northern part
of the State, the Paramount and Clarks
burg distrisct, few of the men struck.
Besides the Pennington and Cook
mines, reported yesterday. the Rose
mont mine has also suspended. AL
though some trouble is reported from
from the southern districts of the State,
the northern district is very quiet. All
the mines are guarded. but no demon
STATIONS are being made.

Leaders in the Field.

Mother Jones, Thomas Haggerty,
Bernard Rice and other organizers held
a meeting at Shinnstown last night with
several hundred in attendance. The
meeting broke up in n small riot be-
tween union and non-union men. No
one was hurt much.
Today a meeting was held at Monon-
gahela. with good attendance.
Indications are that the present strug-
gle is for the maintenance of the au-
thority OF the United Mine Workers of
America in West Virginia. The oper-
ators look for unsettled conditions for
several weeks.
Reports that strikers from the an
thracite and other districts may come
here in numbers to induce men to go out
are not taken seriously. General Super
intendent j. R. Jones. of the Clarks-
burg Fuel Company, allied with the
Fairmont Coal Company, said today:
We do not look for any trouble, and
the result of yesterdays strike order
was even more satisfactory than was ex-
pected. Our miners are all cheerful.
and we have assurance from the more
prominent miners that the men will pay
no attention to the unions demands.
