EMPTY ARE THE COAL PITS. Inauguration of 0Oze of the Greatest S rikes on Record—Sp:culation as to the Ou come: COLUMBUS, Omuo, July 5.—The great strike inaugurated by the United Mine- workers of America has begun. So faras known there have been no hostile demon- strations. The miners have been cau- tioned by their leaders not to use any un- lawfal means to secure success in this strike for higher wages. Reports from all parts of the State show that practically all the mines of Ohio are closed. Some miners in the Jackson and Shawnee districts are still working and will remain in the mines a few days to await the action of the Pittsburg district. Generally speaking, the miners are in poor shape to stana a prolonged sirike, and if the suspension is continued any length of time tveir wants will resutt in making the situation very serious. Many of the Ohio operators express a willingness to pay the scale demanded provided an increase is made in the Pitts- burg district. Reports indicate that the strike order has been generally obeved, excent in the ‘West Virginia, Northwesiern Kentucky and Danville (I1L.) districts. SR L Fitz and Sulitian n Shake Hands. NEW YORK, N.
