to strike It is the last resort. It
is, and always has been, tbe policy
cf the mine workers to use all hon
orable means to avoid a strike. We
hope the operators yet may be in
duced to meet the miners and reach
an agreement, which will make the
strike called for November 1 unnec

the miners have done everything in
their power to bring about a con

strike avoided. Up to this time our
efforts have been unsuccessful; the
operators seem detetrmined to force
a strike on the public in order to
maintain the high price of coal at
the mines.'

bituminous coal miners Saturday

the strike has developed.
