THE ST MU’I‘LOOK.
Matters Are Beginning to Assume a
Serious Appearance.
VERY FE W. MIN ERS AT WORK
Leaders Think More \Vill Go Out Before
the End of the ‘Veek—Steps Taken
For Purpose of Securing Gov-
ernment’s Intervention.
Pittsburg, July 8.——Reports received
from the river miners in the Pittsburg
district indicate that there is almost
a total suspension of work in the pits
and that the strike so far as the river
miners are concerned is general.
A dispatch from Monongahela City
says:
“The bitter feeling between the river'
and railroad miners that has always
interfered when a strike was inaugu-
rated heretofore, and prevented good
results, has been lost sight of, and or—
ganized, unorganized and imported
miners have joined for one purpose.
Today there were about 50 men at work
and 7,000 idle in the Monongahela val-
ley. The few men at work are in the
Chamouni mine, operated by the Tide
Coal company, and they are working
out a contract which expires this
month. Yesterday a few miners were
working at the Ivill, Apollo, Acme, Fos-
ter and Clark mines, but nothing is be-
ing done at these pits today. Such a
complete suspension of mining has not
been witnessed in the Monongahela val-
ley for many years.
"Representatives of several central
Pennsylvania and West Virginia coal
concerns are in the city. Several Oper-
ators whose offices they had visited
said there would be no trouble in filling
urgent orders held i the Pittsburg
operators, even should the suspension
here become thoroughly general. It
was said that representatives of the
Pennsylvania and West Virginia com-
panies were here trying to relieve local
operators of Pittsburg contracts. The
West Virginia representatives claimed
their state would be able to supply the
whole market during the strike, but
could not attempt to ship to the lakes.”
Titan»; "- f~ .u,
,1; ' Government Aid Invoked.
New York, July 8.-—The Evening Tel—
egram today publishes the following
special dispatch from Pittsburg:
The best evidence that the strike is
likely to assume serious proportions, de-
spite the denials of the operators, is
given by the operators themselves.
An idea of what is expected was fur-
nished in Cincinnati when Myron T.
Herrick and Robert Blickensdorfer, as
receivers for the Wheeling and Lake
Erie Coal company, asked the protec-
tion of the United States coqyts. These
receivers also control a rairoad. and
they asked the protection of the United
States court for that. They said that
they feared that large forces of strikers
would invade their property, burn their
Works and railroad bridges and drive
their men from work.
An injunction was issued restraining
the strikers from interfering with the
property. Now, as a matter of fact,
this move is one of the most important
that has been taken on either s’de since
the men were ordered out. The re—
ceivership which Messrs. Herrick and
Blickensdorfer hold is a United States
receivership, and therefore the property
is entitled to all the protection the
United States can give it.
It looks very much like an attempt to
inaugurate in the coal fields, should the
strike get beyond control, the “govern-
ment by injunction" about which Bry-
an, Altgeld and Debs talked at the last
election. ‘
A United States marshal has been
dispatched with deputies to the mines
which the receivers say are threatened.
Should these fail to preserve order,
United States troops will go next. Such
a step would bring the coal regions
very near to anarchy, and we would
probably have an incident quite as ex-
citing as that of the Debs strike a few
years ago.
The coal miners are in a bad way.
Their condition is worse than that of
any other class of labor in the United
States. It is probably worse than most
of the poorer classes of labor in Eu-
rope. ‘ '

Washington, July 8.—After a discus-
sion lasting over an hour the cabinet

morrow.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home it is bound
to carry weight with our read ers. W’hen
so many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press, are published as
facts, when the intelligent reader knows
they cannot be true, there is no wonder
that people become skeptical. On one
subject skepticism is rapidly disappear-
ing. This is due to the actual personal
experience of our citizens, and their .
public-utterances regarding them. The
doubter must doubt. no more in the face
of such evidence as this. The public
statement of a‘ reputable citizen living
right here at home, one whom you can
see every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.
Mrs. John Grace, of 32 Plattsville
avenue, says: “,‘I am well up in years,
and for quite a long time I have suffered
with my back and kidneys. The pain
often extended down into my limbs and
was frequently so severe that I sup-
posed I had rheumatism. I was advised
to use Doan’s Kidney Pills, and began
taking them. I think the pills are a
good thing, they cured me. ’7
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6
