Miners on Strike.

Pittsburgh, Pa., April 6.—ln direct opposition to the instructions of President Dolan before he left for Ohio coal miners in the Pittsburgh district to the number of 4,500 are now on strike and to-day’s mass meeting at West Elizabeth may result in a large addition to this number. President Dolan wanted the diggers to work in all mines where the operators evidenced a desire to comply with the conditions of the interstate agreement. The diggers, however, have refused to return to work until the new screens are in place.
