Wood- roff, of New York Strikets Greatly Encouraged by ‘Their Large Number, Pittsburg, July 11,—Today marks the begioning of the second week of the coal miners’ strike, and already it gives promise of being one of the greatest wage struggles in the history of this gountry. Eight days ago the coal operators in this disurict and the miners themselves little dreamed that within one short week such an era of general, suspension could be wrought as now. exists in the bituminous mining iotustry. ‘The success that has attended the movement bas greatly*elated the min- ers, and during the next few days every effort will be made to bring out the men in the few mines that are still working. This will be a difi- eult task, bat they express confidence in their ability to make the suspen- sion complete before the week is for- ty-eight hours’ old “This whole thing will result: in a compromise,’’ said another promi- nent opemtor, ‘The operators are in a position to stand it for some time, and J believe the miners are in about the same condition.

The opersturs rallied around them a large number of wen whose friendship and support they bave en- couraged ever since. The operators profited by thousands nd thousands of dollars. When t season was over and the strike was declared a failure, they balanced their books and found things on the proper side of their ledgers. They realized that they owed much of their .profit’ to their misers, and rewarded them for it.
