The Millerton and Granity coal miners .struck this morning ,and the mines are completely idle.
The Millerton correspondent of the Times alleges that the men have had a substantial grievance for many months past. A stop-work meeting was held this morning, when Messrs Davidson (president) and Williams (secretary of the Union) addressed the men. It was resolved to send a deputation to the company’s manager, who was available at Granitv. The. interview was without result, and a strike was immediately declared.
