The Strike of the Miners

WILL COST THE MEN AND THE COMPANY $150,000

A special despatch to the Halifax Herald from Spring Hill, N. S., dated August 13, says : The strike has assumed a crisis, and is now within measurable distance of its |

termination. j

| | ' |

Hitherto only the coal cut-| ters and coal handlers have been on strike; | but the pumpmen, firemen and engineers have kept at work, and so have kept the mine free of water and the property in safe condition. But now the strikers have called out these men, and they ceased work to-night. The calling out of the pumpmen ind engineers is said to be unprecedented in the history of strikes. It means the de- struction of the mine. ‘The stoppage of the pumps would soon cause the mine to be flooded ; and to flood the mine is to destroy i Once flooded, it would take three years to pump it out again, and then the underground working would be destroyed. The strike has already{proved most disas- trous. Previously $10,000 a week were paid out inwages ‘The strike has lasted nine weeks. That means $90,000 That is the sum lost. Besides that, the men have either spent the money they saved or have been compelled to run head over ears in debt to sustain themselves and families during the strike. The withdrawal of so much money from circulation naturally hurts business, and many merchants have been compelled to ask for an extension. The loss to the company has also been very They have lost the sale af 100,000

great. tons of coal which would have been during the two months of the strike ; they have lost some large contracts that would have kept the mine running full time for some months to come; and half of the employes, including the majority of the best men, have left Springhil! and gone to other m ling centres. The strike has been disastrous to all parties. al Rl te dieriitemnantion News Notes.

A Grievous Error.

Srx,—In looking through the premium list for the first Annual Exhibition on the Driving Park and Exhibition Grounds at Charlottetown, I see the Percheron horse, the Clydesdale horse and the shire horse shown all together like sheep, to compete for one little prize. Now, Mr. Editor, it is

so much contempt. The Percheron horse, is the backbone of his country; the Clydes- lale horse is the backbone of his country; the Shire horse the backbone of his country. it has cost thousands of pounds to bring them to their present perfection, and a lot of good talent with the money. Besides all this, it has cost the men of our Island thousands of dollars to bring them to the Island. Now, Mr. Editor, 1 fail to see where these men have merited so much contempt as is displayed on their horses. Certainly an act of great unkindness is shown them.

i think, Mr. Editor, that these horses should all alike have classes, unless indeed, any honorable gentleman wishes to give a special prize to one particular class of horses. I think if all shared alike the man of enterprise is at a loss, after all, with all due respect to our commissioners. I think, Mr. Editor, that the clique that has ruled our exhibitions for the last ten or fifteen years should now be broken up. We don’t expect one man to rule our exhibi- tions after'this. Queen’s County will not stand it. We must have fair play. There has been money enough spent on the ground to give every man fairplay, and that is all thatfis expected, and fair play will be required to make the exhibition a success.
