Three thousand miners employed in ten
pany went on strike Feb. 4, and it is
feared that within a few days a general
strike throughout the district will be de-
clared. The cause of the strike was the
enforcement of the rule that the miners
must use smokeless powder instead of the
ordinary black powder. which has been
used exclusively heretofore. The mine in
spectors and operators insist that their
only object in ordering the use of smoke
less powder is to prevent the mine hor-
rors which nave cost more than 700 lives
in the Pittsburg district within two
months.

straint of trade, without stating the def
mite times of violation. and because the
law makes each days violation a separate
%offense. and hence the basis Of a separate
indictment.
