MINERS ON THE MARCH.
continued from first page
short why tire tho prices advancing: Why
Is coal worth n dollar a .ton, and even a
dollar and a half, more than It was two
weeks ago? Why are the railroads confis?
cating coal shipments? Why are tho
shops und factories"whose wheels are'put
in motion by the labor of the miner ceas?
ing to operate? Why are operators .all
over the.States offering their minors a
rate even hieher than the one demanded
if they wll1 only contiuue to work?
"The reason is patent to a'l?coal Is
scarce. Those who have ,it to sell get
fa ncy prices, and those who offer an ad?
vance, particularly in West Virginia and
portions of Illinois, do it .for the purpose
of checking and defeating this movement,
and miners who do not know this will
realize it fully when the battle is over, if
such operators havo their way. Only
those who are best acquainted with the
condition of the miners have any idea of
the extent of this suspension and its par?
alyzing effects upon the labor and busi?
ness of the country. It has not yet
reached its full proportions. The coming
week will add 20,000 men to the idle col?
umn. The week following will bring
greater accessions "to our ranks. ..The
movement will continue to grow,not only
from the point of'nu-nbers involved, but
public opinion, will become crystalized
more fully, and through the press of the
country will demand a solution of this
great difficulty.
"Tho orgaui/.ed trades of the country
are to day in closer touch than ever be?
fore. Never in the history of labor trou?
bles have they been found so closely al?
lied. Our demand for living wages and
the determination of our miners to secure
it have brought expiessions of sympathy
and moral an*1 material support from al?
most every branch of organized, labor,
whose efforts in our behalf will endear
them to all lovers of fairness and estab?
lish foi the miuer?, with their own
efforts, a living rate of wages."
IN WEST VIRGINIA.

????as held, and the miners'decided to come

Huntington, W. Va., July 10.?The
strike agitators have 'been busy in Flat
