The coal strike beganAprll 91.‘ At

United Mine Workers of America it had
lasted seven weeks. A month was the
time set by both minors and operators
for it to continue when the men went
out April 21. The operators. in truth,
were some of them rather glad of the
strike.'it was claimed, because it gave
thétn a chance to work of! the surplus
coal which had been gradually mutua-
lating on account of warm weather and
hard times. It would also bring up the

put npby setting posts in the ground,sud
covering it with the best material to be

year 1678, measures were taken to err-eta
new one to be 40 feet square and 10 feet
posts with a roof of the same pattern as
the F airfield meeting house, but as the
inhabitants could not agree on the proper
place to locate it, they adopted the plan
laid down in the following, which is cop-

to their demands, they believed this strike

once! the greatest sch fights of the nine-
Wh century. It was the battle be~
Mouths American wooden ship of war
them and the Confederate cruiser
Bahama. The Alabama. started on her
career July 20. i862. Every effort was
made to catch her, yet for two years she
defied the whole American navy. She
did much toward destroying that an-
of the American merchant ma-
rinawhich ithas never regained. The _
Ksnrsarge, Captain John S. Winslow,
r. hdbeen on the Alabama's tracks for
months. He overhauled her in the
l‘rench harbor of Chcrbourg, where Cap-
tain Semmes of the Alubiimnhnd put
in for repairs. When these were com-
pleted, Semmes was quite Willing to try
issuea with the Kearsnrge. He believed
hishrck and pluck would win the fight
lawyer! He therefore put out to sea
and French jurisdiction.
But his luck deserted him, although
his pluck did not. The waters all about
the two vessels were dotted with steamers
and other craft, both French and Eng-
Tish, out to see the fight at a safe dis-
tance from stray balls from either ves-
:1. The Alabama fired the first shot.
But when the Kearsarge opened in turn
trade away lain her.
One of the greatest difficulties in ur-
ranging a scale of miners’ pay is the dif-
ferent conditions under which coal is
mined. Part is shipped from Pennsyl-
vania by river; part is shipped from oth-
er places by rail. The difference in cost
of freight is anice point to decide. Again,
some coal is much more difiicult to dig
than that elsewhere. At the same rate
of wages a miner would make twice as
much in a day in one state as he would
in another, and that, too, must be con-
sidered. Rates range all the way from
50 to 85 cents a ton.
The sympathy of the public was gen-
erally, as always, with the strikers till
they began violent devils. Then it began
to change. The prospect that the various
counties where property was destroyed
would have large damage bills to pay
was not a cheerful one.
