Quit in Western Pennsylvania. PITTSBURG, Oct. 31. Union miners in central and western Pennsylvania late today to-day and tonight picked up their tools and left the bituminous coal mines in answer to the strike call of the United Mine Workers of America, according to reports received by their leaders here. The only men left in the mines, it was asserted, were those who, under the working work-ing agreement, were to look after valuable machinery and keep the pumps going in order that the pits be kept free of water. This was in obedience to an order issued by Philip Murray, president of district No. 5, who ursed the men to "refrain from holding mass meetings or demonstrations demon-strations of any character."
