COAL MEN STUBBORN
Steel Trust Takes a Hand in
Strike at Pittsburg.
ORE SHIPPING IS DELAYED
Big Carriers on the Lakes VIII Not
BE Put into Commission Until Some
District-OperatOrs Want 20 Deal
with the National Officers.

Pittsburg, April 2-The strike Of soft
coal miners in the Pittsburg district as
sumed very business-li5e air to-day,
when il was announced that the Steel
Corporation and other ore-shipping inter
ests had taken hand. and would hold
back the ore-shipping opening on the
Lakes until June /. If necessary. instead
of opening April Is. as was intended.
This viii. of course, hold back the Lake
shipments Of coal also. as the coal boats
carrying coal TO the head Of the Lakes
are supposed 20 return from the head OF
the Lakes laden with ore. and it is an
nouneed here by the shippers Of coal
that the boats will not start 10 carry coal
TO the head Of the Lakes until assured
that they will be filed with ore for the
return trip.
The steel men here say they have their
ore yards filed. and that no new ore will
be needed until June ].
Can PrOIong Lockout.
The fact that coal Will not be shipped
on the Lakes for some time means that
the operators can hold the coal which
they have now stored and thus prOlong
the strike or lockout as long es they see
fit The operators OF the Pittsburg dis
trict this afternoon sent official notice to
the railroads which they serve that the
strike Of coal miners would be OF at least
three weeks duration. possibly twice that
long.
The operators committee ard the
miners committee met this evening and
had very stormy session. which was
ended when the operators announced that
under no conditions would they have any
dealings with the local leaders al all, but
would have all their dealings of the future
with the national officers.
A telegram was sent President Thomas
Lewis. of the United Mine Workers of
agreeing 10 rrnfer with him IN

Bigney-placed upon one ballot, and allow
each delegate 10 the convention. a week
from to-day. to scratch one name and

The plan is said TO have originated with
the two Massachusetts Senators, who are
desilous of preventing the issue being
sharply drawn between Col Bigney and
ex-GOv. Long. Mr.. Longs friends have
always maintained that he is not an oupo-
nent of Col. Bigney in the strict sense OF
