MINERS SHOW NO
DISLIKE TO SOLDIERS
tBY the ASSOCIATED PRESS,

POMEROY, O., Aug. 3-Nestling in
the hills, and surrounded by farm
country that seems to be bursting
with crops, town after town in this
mining district seems to reflect the
undercurrent of unrest brought about
by the coal strike.
Not a mine is being worked; the
hundred plants that dot the lower
Hooking Valley are deserted.
Striking miners, clad in their blue
overalls and still covered more or less
with the CRIME of the mines, stand at
every station platform.
The miners insist that to yield in
the present strike will only mean
greater exactions later on by the op.
orators. The coming of troops to
this district has not changed their
opinion, they assert. They look upon
the soldiers with calmness, and have
not shown the slightest dislike to
them.
