Pittsburg, April 9.-The Post saws:
A remarkable development in the coal
miners strike in the central district
fields has taken place during the past
few days. It was learned from official
sources that the strike of the miners
there, and particularly those who were
employed by the Rochester and Pitts
burg Coal company, has determined
the coal company on drastic measures
Tor stamping out all unionism in their
section. The Rochester and Pittsburg
company operates three mines, the
Walton, Adrian and Florence. All are
near Punxsutawney and upon them
depend fully 10000 men for employ
ment. Of this number 5000 are the
regular miners. The rest are filling
other occupations.
After vainly endeavoring to get an
agreement satisfactory to the officers
OF the company and finally despairing
OF it orders were given to close down
the mines. This order means the abso-
lutte idueness of the properties of the
company for at. least all of the present
summer. 1t will leave the miners with
out work, whether they would work or
not, and will seriously affect business
in Punxsutawney.
The first step taken was to issue the
notice to the miners occupying houses
owned by the company to remove from
them. The first of these ejectment no.
tees were served last Thursday and
were to miners who had been among
the leaders of the strike. All the 9th
ers are to have similar notices served
upon them during the present week,
and, with their families, will be COM
PEELED to move. In addition to this,
the companys stores have been prac-
tically closed down and clerks dis
missed.
It was announced to the men that
the company would not open the mines
again until next: fall. In the mean
time the miners and all employees
could look elsewhere for work. When
the company was ready to begin again
it was said they would hire non-union
men only and would not recognize any
scale or agreement of the United Mine
Workers.
