SERIOUS SUFFERING FEARED
AS RESULT OF STRIKE

Cheyenne Wyo., Aug. 30,-A strike
of all union coal miners of Wyoming
began this evening at o'clock when
the shifts in every camp of the state
In which the United Mine Workers
of America is organized, refused to go
to work. Ten thousand miners are
involved in the strike which is the re-
suit of the action of the mine owners
association in reducing wages from ten
to fifteen cents per day. Not ton
of coal will be mined in wyoming ex-
cept In few camps In which the min
ers are not organized, and the princi-
pal industry of the state will be at a
standstill The principal mines affect
ed by the strik are those of the Union
Pacific Coal company at Rock Springs,
Cumberland. Hanna and Superior, em-
ploying 5000 men. and those of other
companies at Kemmerer, Oakley Dia-
mondville. Dietz, Kooi, Carneyvllle,
Monarch and smaller camps. employ
Ing an additional 5000 men. The
amount of wages involved is about
$50 900 daily.
The dispute leading up to the strike
has been under discussion for more
than two months. eliminating in a
final conference at Butte, Montana,
during the past week. Until noon to-
day 1t was hoped that an agreement
could be effected but both the opera
tors and the representatives OF the
miners refused to concede a point and
the order for the night shifts TO refuse
to go to work was then issued. The
miners at the camps tonight carried
home their tools evidently in prepara-
tion for a strike Of indefinite dura-
tlon. During the past siv months the
Union Pacific Coal company has been
storing vast quantities Of coal In an
ticipation of trouble. but these sup
plies are insignificant In comparison
with the demand to be filled and a
coal shortage must result unless the
strike is setted almost Immediately.
The Wyoming towns named depend
entirely on coal mining for their sup
port and much suffering inevitably
will result from the strike unless some
compromise is soon affected.
The miners OF Rock Springs have
agreed to furnish enough men to keep
the electric light system In operation
and to work the pumps for the next
ten days to keep the mines from in

ton In settlement Of tie dispute II
is presumed the same agreement hai
been made at the other coal camps

ment which he insists was entered
into between himself and Mr.. Glib

the northwest, w. j. Bryan, demo-
cratic presidential candidate. left to-
day for Fargo, N. D., where he will
speak tomorrow.
Addressing the members of the state
committee this afternoon, Mr.. Bryan
said:
II know am not the first choice of
the democrats in this city. but it is
good to be even second choice i'm a
state where Governor Johnson is
first / am well satisfied to have the
preference Johnson and Bryan
in Minnesota. The news you bring
me that this will be a democratic year
in this state is very pleasing"
The meeting of the state central
committee was a real love feast in
which Mr. Bryan and Governor John
Son showered compliments upon
each other.
Previous to this gathering Messrs
Bryan and Johnson had a conference
In regard to Minnesota and the other
northwestern states. They discussed
organization and the question of
speakers. Governor Johnson pledged
his active support of the national
ticket and will make numerous
speeches between now and November.

greeting accorded Mr. Bryan at the
station was most cordial After break
fast he was escorted by Governor
Johnson to the executive chambers,
and there for an hour, shook hands
with the throng which filed In to meet
him.
At the fair grounds he spoke for an
hour before an immense crowd. His
principal topic was republican extrav-
agance. Addressing himself to the
farmers he declared that they had
special reason for complaint because
they paid more than their share of
the taxes collected, and received less
than their share of the benefits which
flowed from the expenditure of the
corporations. He received great
demonstration upon being introduced
by Governor Johnson, and in his pre-
limlnary remarks took occasion to
laud the governor and urge his hear
ers to assist in re-electing him as
their chief executive.
