Monday from all OF the sections Of
the state were to the effect that all
Of the miners are we'll supplied with
coal, having. taken the precaution to
fiji their bins before the strike went

the governor from the Pittsburg dis
trict that the miners worked more
steadily during the two weeks pre-
ceding the calling Of the strike than
they had in any two weeks period
since the early summer, and for this
reason it is believed the average min
