LEWIS ORDERS STRIKE
OF 5000 COAL miners
Workers in Ohio Say They
Have Funds Amounting to
$5OO,O00 Available.

BRIDGEPORT, Ohio, March 1S.-Nearly
5000 coal miners in eastern Ohio were
ordered to lay down their tools at 4
o'clock this afternoon in conformity with
the strike order issued by President T.
l.. Lewis of the United Mine Workers
Of America.
Youghiogheny and Ohio Coal Company,
the Roby-Sommers Coal Company and
the Mullen interests.
The strike is called in sympathy with
one which had been on in the Tuscarawas
district Of Ohio since April, 1910. 1t is
said the Tuscarawas operators agreed
with the men to pay them according to
the Cincinnati agreement and later re-
pudiated their agreement All efforts
made by the officers of the miners organ
ization to adjust the difficulty resulted in
failure.
Lewis to Take Charge.
President Lewis, it is stated, will take per-
sonal charge of the strike when he re-
turns from Indianapolis early next week.
The miners say they are we'll prepared
for a strike, having a fund Of $4,000
which will be expended II necessary in
order to win. Strike benefits will COM
mence at once instead of waiting for the
customary two weeks to elapse.
Meetings of the men are called for to-
morrow at the various mines. when they
will discuss whether to remain out.
WASHINGTON, Pa, March 1s.-The
men in the mines Of the Youghiogheny
and Ohio Coal Company here refused to
obey the strike order tonight. and an
nounce that they will remain at work.
At a meeting it was decided that the
name of President Lewis and two execu-
tive board members signed to the strike
order was not sufficient reason for them
to walk out.
Say Lewis Broke Contract.
CLEVELAND. Ohio. March 1s.-Delib-
crate and willful breach Of contract in
calling out the miners in the fifth
Ohio subdistrict was charged against
Thomas Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers Of America, today. by To-
cal operators, who employ 1900 men af-
fected by the order.
"If the men strike upon Lewis order"
said j. j. Roby, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Roby Coal Com
burg Vein Operators Association, lit will
be a direct violation Of contract. The
walkout order is the result of ill-feeling
on the part Of Lewis because of his de-
feat for reelection and in retaliation
against his political enemies In the union.
There is no cause for strike, and the
men will admit it,
other operators expressed similar
opinions at meetings Of the Goshen Coal
Company and the Youghfogheny and
Ohio Coal COmDany today.
