Stand Up in Defense as Gompers Denounced at Pittsburg
In Pittsburg on September 6 the United Labor League denounced Samuel Gompers, accusing him of disloyalty to labor after his St Louis remarks. A rival called him a plug-hatted, greasy tool of capital as the league vows to keep fighting De Armit, with plans to send a delegate to the Chicago convention and urging locals to resist resumed work amid stalled miners’ strike.

New Plans To Ban the Annual Coal Strike Discussed
In Pittsburg on September 6, plans emerged from coal operators aimed at preventing a strike. A proposed separate wage scale per mine would back a uniformity agreement, detailing yearly rates and concessions agreed by both sides. The move seeks harmony and to avert disruptions as mines prepare to resume. Philip Stambaugh, linked to McKinley, commented on Eclipse mine workers returning at 65 cents. David War Eman of the Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal mines signaled a broader resumption.
