TliF United States hydrographic office

useful investigations into the practical
effect of “pouring oil on the troubled

instances are given where ships have re¬

Terrible SnITering Caused by the Strike
at tJrape Creek* liliBois
A dispatch from Grape Creek, Ill.,
savs; There is prospect of a riot over the
importation of negroes bv the Grape
Creek Coal company to take'the places of
the striking miners. The strikers work declare under
that the new men cannot
anv circumstances, and that thev will
resist force with force. The sheriff of
Vermillion countv has forty special den- K.
Ok, „ ,h, ground- maintain and will do all
his power to order if the ne
° ..roes conclude to go to work.
There were Vert over °^ er a thousand anu strikers tr 1K f^ s
when , the present strike . , began, but , . the
number is now reduced to seven or eight
hundred. All are destitute, and the con
dition of many of them is absolutely

barely sufficient clothing to cover them
and hardiv sufileient food to exist on.
The men insist that they never will sur
render . Most of them are foreigners, the
predominatin'.. "

The strikers have been out most of the
tiDie for sixteen months. Late last fall
they underbid accepted the company’s other rates, and
even each for the work,
^ Tr empl °^ e ^ for “ U on
account of the company s business having .

Thev have since been evicted from the

country 4nties, . A few of them have put up

The men demand hereafter they shall be
required to handle but 100 head per day,
and that they shall receive the same wa
that they are now getting, $24 per
