THE MACON TELEGRAPH: FKIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3 3, 1897
he Situation is Becoming
Serious in the Pitts
burg DistrioL
On Every Striker, and No
Marching or Massing of
Miners Allowed*.
STRUGGLE GOES OK STILL.
Oka Lu4>n ofth* Burring Digger* 6»y
They Will Disregard the Injunction
Until Every Jail Is Full of Men.
and Will Continue the Fight
Orderly and Peacefully.
Pitt* burg. A tig. 11—Sweeping and far
reaching Injunction* now llgure In the
coal miner*' strike tn the Pltteburg
aliwtrlct. The development* of today
•end to make the situation* a strained
one. and It apeara that a crlsla la near
at hand. The atrlker* have demon-
ntrated Iliad their a*aomblages. march**
and mission ary work* hove material
ly affected the outpjutof the New York
nnd Cleveland Oa* Coal Company,
while at the eamc time public sympa
thy has boen enltater in their caune.
The sheriff's proclamation laaued two
weeks ago. restraining the men from
assembling and marching, ha* been a
dead letter, and the marches hove been
continued dally. No disturbance of any
kind ha* occurred, the official* of tho
miners contriving, through the whole
dime to keep their men within bound*.
A preliminary injunction was l»*ued
today by Judge Collier and Judge
mow*, which now bring* the matter to
She county court* for aettlement. The
order include* President Ratchford and
jL*i» Pierce of tlio United Mine Worker*
of America and President Dolan and
Warner of the Pittsburg district mine
worker*. The case will he heard Mon
day morning and the decision 1* looked
forward to with much interest. The
miners and Uielr official* claim that
they are keeping within tho law and
have Ihe rlgnt to assemble In pence and
demonstrate to the world that they are
being wronged by a rat* of wages that
keeps them constantly at the point of
(starvation; also that they have a right
to use their presenco and Influence
among men who aro militating agulnat
their Interest* by continuing at work.
The Now York nnd Cleveland Oa* Ooal
Company, on the other hand, aeaert
that the marches and assemblage* are
unlawful and a menace to/tlielr em
ploye*. many of whom, they say, are
willing to work provided the striker*
remain uway. Looking at the matter
from this standpoint the company made
it* radical move today In the court*
to bring about a condition under which
the company c»n operate It* mine*.
The much talked of hill for on In
junction against tie United Mint Work
er* that was to have been filed In the
. Untied Slates courts, was filed In the
cauntv courts about noon by counsel
for the New York and Cleveland Oa*
Coal Company. 1 The defendants turned
are the United Mine Worker* of Ameri
ca. Patrick Dolan, president; Rdward
McKay, vice president: William War
ner. secretary and treasurer. and oth
ers The plaintiff of the company set*
forth that It Is a corporation under
4h* laws of Pennsylvania with a capl
ml of a million dollar* Invested In coal
landa In Pennsylvania, three of their
mines employing 1.S00 men are at Plum
Creek. Turtle Creek and Bandy Creek.
The bill then recites the condition* pre
vailing at the mines since Ihe strike
began, and alleges that the strikers
have paid no attention lo the sheriffs
proclamation and the live* of miner*
and the property of the company la In
danger.
Judge Collier granted a preliminary
Injnnctlon restraining order and enjoin
ing the defendant* from assembling or
marching, or camping In proximity to
the mine* and house* of the miner* for
the purpose, by Intimidation, menace*,
threat* and opprobtou* words, of prevent
ing the miners of the plaintiff from
working.
It further restrain! the delenrtsnt*
from Inducing nr compelling any em
ploye or miner to null work.
A hearing awe fixed for August 11
The Injunction Is regarded te ihe tnoet
•weeping yet Issued. President Dol»n
expressed *urpri*e when informed that
It had keen granted and added:
"It wilt mak* ao difference to ns. We
will net break camp und will go right
akin: os usual until Ihe matter In teited
In the courts. W* will stay them regard-
lie* of every Judge In Allegheny eouniy.
and If they ivy lo enforce ihe Injunction
they will have to build more Jolla lo ac-
romoMddte Ihe aea."
If ihe striker* continue thilr marches
In the morning, a* they now eay they
will, in defiance of the Injunction,
capiases will be Issued for the offender*
on ths charge of contempt of court.
Bhoul.l the injunction he enforced the
strikers' camp* around the Dearamt
rniaea will soon be extinct. The etrlker*.
thoagk excited orer the turn of events,
an* in nowise disheartened, Develup-
“•»« at •’anonshurg are being watched
**2E2; The avowed Intention of Ihe
strikers to march tomorrow despite
Jadg* Mcllralas*' injunction Is expected
to result In bloodshed or tho filling of the
arrested miner*.
Th* long-talked of demonstration against
the Weclmoreland county mines has
W abiadoaed by the striker* prior on*
dap'* trial because of * lock Vf food.
The attempt, It,Is said, wUI be restated
*oon when ample prorlmlou* will b* cap-
rltrl aloog and a cleg* proclaimed and
carried t* succastful fcnue.
The Injunction by th* New York and
f 1, 'T**f'd Gas Ooal Company waa read
to Presldant Dolan by a deputy this

junction they will be compelled to ar
rest every man for contempt, and then
as aoon as the men aro placed In Jail
others will be brought Into camp to
take their place*, and thus the deputies
■will be kept busy, making arrest* until
the Jails are overcrowded.
It I* claimed by the strikers that thla
movement of the company la only an
other plan for getting the militia on
the ground. When they find that the
miners will not obey the Injunction and
that the Jails are becoming crowded In
this manner, It I* exDected that the
sheriff will adjudge that hla deputies
are not sufficient to cope with the sit
uation and he will be constrained to
call out the militia. This la the view
of the situation taken by the leader*
of the striker* now In the ramp*. Thl*
evening the striker* »t Plum Creek
held a meeting and voted unanimously
to hold the fort hut not to re»l*t ar
rest. The resolution* »*y that If on*
man I* arrested they will have to ar-
At 11:11 o'clock p. m. Bhcrlff Lowrey
■ad hla deputies, numbering one hun
dred, left Turtle Creek for Plum Creek.
Th* distance they will have to travel
is about twelve mllea and they expect to
be on hand before the striker* march
on Plum Creek. The sheriff I* deter
mined to carry out the order of the court
and «*y» he will surely arrest the lead
en ***oon a* the march begin*. If new
letder* are suhatltutel they also will be
gathered In. While the big majority ot
the strikers are willing to go to Jell un
resistingly, there are n few of the- hot
heads who have announced that they
will not be taken alive. This minority
may be the means of causing strife.
Mlnera on tho March.
Springfield, III., Aug. II.—With Old
Glory flying at the head of their col
umn, and to the muslo of fife and
drum, 100 Sprlnfleld miners started to
day on their march to Decatur, Ill-
Vice President Teal of Dawson is the
leader. The strikers are marching over
an old wagon road. En route they will
pick up 150 miners at Lincoln, 60 at
Dawson and 50 at Riverton. At Nlan-
tic tonight they 111 hold a general con
ference preparlory to entering Decatur

Broke Camp and Went Home.
Pittsburg, Aug. 12.—The camp of the
strikers near the mines of the West
moreland and Pennsylvania Gas Coal
Company, at Irwin. Pa., which was ea-
tabllshed yesterday, has troken up and
all but ten or twelve ot the men have
gone back to their home*. The cause
of the disbanding of the little army Is
attributed to the fact that the neigh
borhood refused to contribute provis
ions and money for the maintenance ot
the strikers. Solicitor* for provisions
sent out from the camp were invari
ably turned away empty handed. The
strikers last night became discouraged
and In little groups they quietly took
their departure, hungry and footsore
after tho long tramp of the day. The
committee In charge of the camp stat
ed today, however, that U was not done
with Irwin, but would return soon with
ample provisions for a long stay If
necessary. Tho mlnera who are at
work still Insist that tliby will not
strike.

vised the marching mlnera not to como

tion of violence would meet with very
prompt measures of repression. The

ward consolidation which has been de
veloping during the past six months.
“I am convinced,” he says, “that
there Is not an Important city In the
country but what would be strength
ened In all its interests by bank con
solidations. Within the past few
months they have occurred In New
York; St. Louis and Kansas City. The
example thus set could be well followed
elsewhere. t
“The truth Is that many commercial
banks In recent years have drifted
away from legitimate commercial
banking for the reason that they have
found themselves confronted with so-
called commercial banks born outside
of any apparent commercial needs.
They have been compelled by giving
free exchange and payments ot large
Interests on deposits to look to other
means of meeting expenses and earn
ing dividends. The channel Into which
they have thus cither drifted or have
been driven is a dangerous and In
many cases a disastrous one.
“It Is tq the end that conservatism
may be restored and legitimate apd
continuing earning capacity to bank
stocks be brought about that share
holders should seek, whenever neces
sity requires It, the strengthening ot
banks in which they have holdings
by union with others. In such a plan
will bo found greater safety to all, bet
ter banking methods, fewer bank fail
ures and steadier dividends and leas
assessments upon bank stocks."

A London Paper Says lie Will Make
Things Hot 111 Ohio,
London. 4Vug. 12.—The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon publishes a long
leading article In the course of whloh
the ODlnlon Is expressed that If Secre
tary Sherman should be forced to re
tire from the cabihet he will "make
Ohio too hot for Senator Hanna,” ad
ding: "It is awful to contemplate the
results of Mr. Hanna being done out ot
his price for making McKinley presi
dent.
"Some Innocents may object that if
Sherman Is too senile to hold office, tu
mult be too senile for the senate, but
as a matter of fact, no one has yet
estimated how incompetent a man may
be before the senate lo closed to hint.
The senate shares the advantages of
the house of lords."
In conclusion the Westminster Ga
zette remarks:
"We are rather sorry If Secretary
Sherman Is to be superceded. In hU
own rough way he expressed a phase
of American feeling which it is Import
ant for ua to know." .
