This morning between LOOO and 0000 railroad miners of the Pittsburg district went out on a strike. The old scale expired yester-day and they went out pending the ad-justment of wages. Their strike has nothing to do with the eight hour ques-tion. A minets' convention is now in ses-sion here. The proposition of the op-erators to pay tho old wages has been received but no action taken as yet. Nearly the entire session of the morn-ing was given up to a debate on ti e wage scale and it was practically de eid-- d to adopt two scales; one to rule iu the coal trade, the other to govern in the lake trade. A general review of the situation here Bt 2 o'clock this afternoon shows that carpenters, bricklayers and stone-masons to the number of SUOOiireouton n strike, with many planing mill bands also idle. .Several independent contractors have already granted the eight hour demand, and the men say it is only a question of a short time when the builders' associa-tion will be forced to term.'.

An enactment of a law givine this power would probably bo eftVotive to prevent discriminations and other vio-lations of tho law without being actu-ally set in motion. Such a law, if en-forced, would reach the real culprit, where fines and penalties reach only their repn s 'titatives and employes. It. shop Mclntyr. Daad. Halifax. N. F., May 1.
