FOURTEEN THOUSAND
miners MAY STRIKE
DISAGREEMENT IN PITTSBURG
DISTRICT BECOMES CRITICAL
AND WALkoUT THREATENED.
DISPUTE OVER WAGES
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Coal Company Asserts Ignorance of
Grievances - Deputies Are Still
Needed in the Lake Superior
Region.

Pittsburg, Aug. 2.-The disagree
ment between $4,000 miners in the
Pittsburg district and the Pittsburg
Coal company has reached a critical
stage, and a strike seems inevitable.
According to statements issued by the
miners officials and the general man
ager of the company, the trouble has
reached a point where one side will
be compelled to make overtures with
in a few hours to prevent a crisis.
President Francis Fehan of the
union has announced that the miners
are tired of the attitude assumed by
the company regarding the complaint
of the men that the wage agreement
is being violated by the employers. He
says the strike order will be held in
allegiance for a few hours to allow the
officials of the company to act quickly.
If proposition is not received by the
union Immediately it is said an order
for general walkout will be issued.
Do Not Know About Complaints.
Officers Of the Pittsburg Coal COM
pany say that complaints mentioned
by the miners are not known to them.
They assert that they have tried to
ascertain what the trouble is, but thus
far have failed. They alIege also that
the union officials have made no eff
forts to show them wherein they have
violated the agreement.
1t has been intimated that the min
ers will administer a severe blow to
the stability of their own organiza-
ton by declaring strike, and this
intimation Is taken to mean that both
sides are preparing to fight the mat
ter to a finish.
Trouble Still Threatened.
Duluth, Aug. 2.-Quiet prevails in
the range towns and in Duluth and
work has been resumed, but trouble
is threatened by the more desperate
strikers. Sheriff Bates hurried to Hib-
bing on special train Wednesday
night, and he said that he regarded
the situation as critical Sheriff Bates
was unable to get citizen deputies and
sent for 100 men at Proctor who were
in readiness for use on the docks
there
There was no violence Thursday,
but it is feared the infammatory
speech by Petriella at mass meeting
of the strikers at Chisholm Wednes-
day will bear fruit Petriella's speech
was repeated in four languages, and
had noticeable effect on the men. He
said the moment had arrived when the
miners should take the law into their
own hands. He ordered the men to
arm and be prepared to shoot and
kill
