NiNENS’ SNNiNN HANGS (MR l'llE UNlIEl) STATES Indiana Miners Totalling 25,000 Have Already Quit Work â€"General Strike Would Involve 350,000 Workmenâ€"â€" Coal Shortage Not Imminent as Large Sup- plies Are on Hand. A despatch from Chicago sayszâ€"A' strike of 350,000 coal miners of the principal bituminous producing fields; of the country will follow enforccmont' of Judge Anderson’s injunction against the “cheeloofl‘” system, acâ€" cording to union officials. Already 25,000 miners have quit work in Indiana. Frank Farrington, head of the 11- linois miners, wired his chiefs that: while a stoppage of the “check-off" system would be a violation of con- tract, he could not order a strike until it had actually occurred. It was understood he had received his instruc- tions from headquarters in Indian- apolis. The Illinois miners will not be paid for two weeks, and until that time they will not know’wh-at action has been taken by the Illinois operators on Judge Anderson’s injunction. Illinois miners Wore reported ready to strike and 400 quit work in the Centnal Iowa district. They were the first to go out in this state. It was not expected there would be a. gen- eral walkout before next pay «lay. Approximately 350.000 mirers would be idle if a general strike .lS called. The mines of Illinois, Chic, Pennsylvania, West Virginia. Michi- gan, Missouri, Kentucky, Oklahoma. Kansas, Texas, Wyuming, Iowa, and Montana would be tied up. The “check-off” system prevails in these states as well as Indiana where the miners have already gone out. Under the “check-off” system the mine operators deduct union dues from the men’s pay and turn it over to the union treasurer. Judge Ander- son held money raised in this way was being used to prolong the West Vir- ginia mine war. Danger of a coal shortage was not regarded as serious by Chicago mine operators and coal dealers. It was estimated Chicago had a supply suffi- cient for two months. Supplies of both bituminous and anthnacite were reported above normal, due to the in- dustrial depression. Similar con-di- tions, it was said, exist throughout the country. The Leading/ Markets.

A despatch from St. John‘s, Nfld., says :â€"â€"The northeast gale which has swept this section of Newfoundland since Friday evening has abated. Half a million ‘dollars‘ damage has been done to roads and public property, it is estimated, in addition to the loss of private property swept away or de- stroyed.
