The miners’ union and the men have boen holding secret meetings, and the understanding is that an arrangement has been effected for a general strike. What that arrangement is, of course, is an entire secret. The grievances of the men are numerous, but the main ones are that while the “combination” is raising the price of coal onthe market, the operators do not pay & proportional increase of wages, but. on the contrary, are endeavoring to decrease wages, and “sacking” men on account of the reduction of production.
