GOADED BY JEERING, 150 OHIO MINERS STRIKE Attempts to Unionize Workings at Bannock Bring Disorders, but Few Are Injured. By the Associated Press. ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio, May 12— Goaded by a jeering crowd of men, 150 miners employed at the Taplin mine of the Priends Coal Co. at Bannock, near here, went on strike today. Deputy sheriffs experienced consider- able difficuity in keeping the road to the mine open, and several were in- jured in a melee between miners at- tempting to go to work and others who sought to prevent them. Attempts to unionize the shaft and lack of check weighmen at the mine were said by Sheriff Howard Duff to have caused suspension. The strike at the Rosemary mine - which started last week continued to- day, but officials sald they expected little trouble there. Mine officials predicted other strikes and suspensions would result in the Belmont County field because of recent wage cuts announced by several of the PILE./ RELIEVED PILE-FOE acts like magic for blind, £, protruding or itehing PILES.
