Madlsonvllle, Ky„ Nov. ' 26.—The

reported to be landing troops on the
thorities to again remove them.
In a conversation with Thomas
Rooney, a member of the official board
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, it was learned that the new camp
was established yesterday with 60
charter members and one large tent.
Rooney also said that before tonight
there would be more than 250 men in
camp, with ten or more tents.
He said the correspondents had bet
ter give the camp a wide Perth. There
is now no doubt that the union men
will make an effort to retain the
“home of the strikers” on the Bame
old site, a quarter of a mile south of
Nortonville, notwithstanding the man
datory orders of County Judge Hall
to the contrary. It is the general
opinion that before the campers can
again be dispersed, in the event the
county officials remain Arm in their
determination to exterminate and dis
band the “unlawful assembly of intimi-
dators,” that more troops than are
now on the ground at the command of
the officials will be necessary to en
force the mandate of the court.
