42,000 MINERS TO
DECLARE STRIKE
International News Service. (
DUBOIS. Pa., May 9.—Forty two
thousand coal miners are to go out on ^
strike on May 15 unless government
intervention comes in the meantime.
These miners demand an increase of
thirty-three and one-third per cent j
and also insist upon better working
conditions.
The coal operators claim tnat the!
miners are making demands that are |
impossible for them to meet, and are
sending representatives to Washington i
who will take the matter up with j
President Wilson, In an effort to bring j
about Intervention on the part of the j
government.
Exremely large orders are on hand,
at all the large mines in Pennsylvania
which is exceptional at this season
of the year. In the spring
1 ihore is usually a lull, but ns
all large consumers of coal, chiefly the
j big manufacturing plants in the coun
■ try are running night and day the out
I put at the mines is being kept up to !
i the limit.
The operators claim that the miners
are aware of this and arc attempting
| to harrass them feeling that the time
is propitious, and the employers will
grant any concessions rather than tie
up the mines, but the operators pro
going to hold firm in the face of this
strike.
