railway extensions now under construction, chang
ing the gauge on narrow gauge roads. Vera cruz

DOL4N SCENTS TROUBLE.
Thinks Idle Miners WiH Interfere
7cith Pittsburg ompany.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune. !


Pittsburg, April with the mines of one
company operating in this district and all the
others in the district idle serious trouble may
be expected here" said President Patrick DoIan
to-day. in response to an inquiry. mo scale has
been secured for the of the independent
mines. and it is not likely they will take much
pleasure in seeing the mine alongside them run
ming while they lie idle. II is a difficult stua-
tion, and one that is going to make lots of
trouble unless the independent operators should
decide at their meeting this week TO pay the
scale and operate their mines
Dolan expects the Idle miners in the district
will endeavor to stop the men at work in the
mines of the Pittsburg Coal Company.
He is not enthusiastic over the outlook in
the Irwin field, which Mitchell and others de-
clared would strike with this district. Dolan ex-
poets plenty of trouble between the workers
there and those in the Pittsburg district unless
the whole district should soon go to work. With
an army OF idle miners here, he realizes that II
will be difficult to prevent excursions into the
neighboring field 10 induce those TO strike.
Dispatches from the soft coal fields tonight
indicate almost a general announcement from
the operators of Western Pennsylvania TO pay
miners the advance of 555 cents a ton called for
in the restoration of the scale OF 1908. With no.
tces posted at the majority Of the mines an
nouncing the granting OF the scale, the strike
in the soft coal field has lost the threatening
aspect that has surrounded ii since last January.
Despite these notices. it announced from
JoEnstown that a thousand more union
miners would make a demonstration at the
mines of the Berwind- White Coal Company at
union miners TO come into the organization. The
demonstration will consist Of A parade but no
trouble is expected.
Announcement was made from Greensburg
tonight that the scale had been granted by the
operators of fifteen mines in Westmoreland
