PHILADELPHIA, May 7. – The strike among the miners at Pottsville is becoming serious, the employers not complying with their demands. The miners stopped the pumps, causing serious damage to property from the flooding of the mines. The mines of the finest improvement companies are rapidly filling up with water.
Several infantry companies of Home Guards leave here this afternoon to prevent further damage.
The Reserve Grays of this city leave soon for the scene of difficulties in Pottsville.
