Bluefield, W. Va., May 13 — The condition of the strike is unchanged. Govornor O’Ferrall, of Virginia, is still at Pocahontas. The troops will remain. The governor says an outbreak has only been prevented by their presence, and that all men who wish to work in the mines will be protected. The miners are conferring and some overtures will be made looking to an adjustment this week of the trouble. The Southwest Coal Company is increasing its output daily and a number of new men went to work to-day. The miners are highly incensed at the position of Governor O’Ferrall. Military surveilance existed over all visiting miners from West Virginia in Pocahontas and arrests are made daily.
