COAL STRIKE IS
BAR TO WAGE CUT
Hillman Strike Given
AS Withdrawal Reason

PITTSBURGH. Pa. Feb. 4.-The
strike of the Hillman and John Carr
in spite of its small size, has
4 tremendous effect upon the situa-
ton in the mining fields of Western
Penna.. particularly in Westmore-
land County. where the strike is TAX
ing place. This is proven by the fact
that the Westmoreland Coal Co. one
OF the largest in the country, with
drew announcement of the wage cut
to its miners for the present. . The
strike of the Hillman miners is given
as the reason. The foremen in the
mines are openly stating that a
wage-cut was decided upon, but due
to the Hillman and John Carr min
ers' strike, it was indefinitely post
poned.
This fact in itself explains the ire
mendous significance of the Hillman
miners strike. The bosses know the
readiness of the miners for struggle
against misery and starvation. They
also know the widespread influence
OF the National Miners Union. the
leader of the strike, among the
miners.
Miners throughout the industry
must understand the significance OF
the Hillman miners strike, and give
it their fullest support.
