HOPES PINNED TO
NONzUNION MINERS

PITTSBURGH. Nov. 2-Dtsputing
the strength OF strikers to tie up
coal production in Western Pennsyl-
Vania, operators here today declared
the 10000 non-union workers in the
Fayette county district could mine
sufficient coal to tide vital consumers
over an indefinite period.
Union leaders held fast to their
claims that more than 100000 men
are on strike in Pennsylvania.
Both sides are anxiously awaiting
down Monday, when each declared
their full strength will be shown.
Unionists scofred at reports from
Clarksburg. w. Va. that the mayor
had threatened to operate mines with
city clerks IL the strikers did not
return to work Monday and mine
sufficient coal for hospital and other
municipal uses.
Clerks entering coal mines to dig
and blast stand . good chance of re-

j. S. COAL STRIKE
BLOW TO EUROPE

LONDON. Nov. 2.-The coal strike
In America presents a serious threat
to the already grave coal situation In
Britain, and, indeed. throughout Eu-
rope
Information obtained today shows
that the British food ministry and
business men of all classes are acutely
Worried over the developments Of the
sItuation in America. which threatens
to cut off Europe from the most ,urg-
ent necessities of life.
American coal merchants here agree
that Europe faces during the coming
winter the worst coal shortage on
record as a result OF the strike In the
United States. More coal is already
ordered now than can possibly be de-
livered.
The British food supply, normally
shipped at this time OF year through
American ports, is being cut of, which
greatly aggravates the situation here
at time when the strictest govern
ment rations are already in force.
Fruits, wheat, and meat are mainly
affected

unanimously to petition the board

Appeals To Miner.
To Have a Rest.
The idea OF resting and drawing
strike benefit funds appeals to many
Of the miners. To them 1t seems like
getting something for nothing.
The miners speak Intimately of
President Wilson. They like to re-
fer to him and to discuss Uncle Sam"
In the intensive Americanization cam
paign OF the United Mine Workers of
America, so much was said about the
President that the miners feel that
he is almost as much one of them as
their union leaders
1 saw several miners wearing but
tons bearing the likeness of the
President. Others wore Liberty bond
buttons. or small American flag but
tons.
I nmy rounds l was told of an
American miner who had been in the
mine for more than twenty-five years
went in search of him. l saw
miner staggering down the street He
was an American. He carried a bot
tie in his pocket and it was plainly
Idiscernible.
The home OF the American was
clean and comfortable. His daugh-
ter kept house for him. They had
several boarders in the four rooms
of their house. Their rent is 5000
a month.

At Age of Ten.
II went into the mines when / was
ten years DID," he told me. THAT was
before they passed laws raising the
limit to sixteen years. A boy at ten
can do a lot of work in a mine"
Numerically there are more Slavs
in the mines than any other national
titles. In mining camps the term
Slavs includes Austrian, Hungarian
and Russian miners
Italians are second, Americans are
third. About 90 to % per cent OF the
miners in this country are American
born.
What does the miner do when he is
not working" / asked this represen-
tative, who appeared to be a man of
more than ordinary intelligence.
They think" he said. This was
the Welshmans answer 10 the same
query.
"Of course" he added. "some Of
them gamble and get drunk. A miner.
particularly the Greek and certain
types of Italians. like games of
chance.
"A miner goes to work in the morn
ing at $50 to $50 O'clock He has
to be at the face by O'clock II the
face is some distance underground, he
has to start out early.
He leaves the face at o'clock in
the afternoon, returning to his home
at 5 to o'clock. He washes. eats his
dinner. and by that time he is ready
for some sleep. If he goes out and
gets into a crap or poker game, he
may stay up all night and lay off the
next day.
