MINERS ON A STRIKE
Four Hundred Men Employed by
Smoky Hollow Company Are Out
Because Of Disagreement With the
Owners.

Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa, June 1s.-News reached
this city yesterday that 400 miners en-
ployed by the Smoky Hollow Coal Com
pany. and living near Avery, are out on
strike because of disagreement with
John q. Evans, the proprietor of the
mines, over his refusal to furnish a
train from Avery to the mines. A tele-
phone message from Avery confirmed
the report, but 1t was impossible yes
teriay afternoon TO learn the details of
the trouble which caused the strike. At
the headquarters Of the United Mine
Workers of America at Oskaloosa it
was also impossible to learn anything
further than that a message had been
received there yesterday from Avery
and that officials CT the district miners
union will investigate the affair at
once.
According to reports the miners have
refused TO work because the company
has taken off the train which has been
hauling the men from Avery to the
mines each morning and back again at
night. The train. 1t is said, has not
been entirely discontinued. but instead
of going all the way to the mines it
stops about a quarter of a mile from
one of the shafts and over mile from
the other. Originally it carried the min
ers almost TO the shafts. Thursday the
change was announced and the miners
decided TO quit work.
The two shafts worked by the COM
pany. Nos. and 6. furnish employment
for about 400 men. Shaft No. 4 is about
two miles from Avery and No. 6 is
twice that far from, the little town. The
distance made but little difference to
the men when the train ran regularly.
but now, with long walk ahead of
them after leaving the cars, they must
necessarily leave home much earlier
than formerly If they expect to put in a
full day at the mines.
Just why the company made the
change is not known. and II was im>
possible to get into communica-
tior, with the officials of the COM
pany or anyone who could furnish the
information.
