PHILADELPHIA, May 7.
The strike among the miners near Pottsville is becoming
serious. The employers not complying with
the demands made, the miners stopped the pumps, causing serious damage to
property from flooding of the mines.
Those of the Forest Improvement Co. are rapidly filling with water.
Several companies of home guards heave here this P. M. to
prevent further damage. The Reserve
Greys of this city leave soon for the scene of difficulties at Pottsville.
