Cokers Talk of Strike.

Uniontown, Pa., April 2.—The cokeworkers were greatly excited when information that rents of the company houses had been advanced from 30 to 40 percent, and the talk of a general strike throughout the region is general. The men claim that the recent advance of 16 per cent in wages, which went into effect yesterday, was only a ruse to prevent a strike, as they will not be benefited in the least by it. A convention w3s| be held to consider the matter.
