CINCINNATI, June IA Columbus State
,yournuL special from Jacksonville says at
daylight the union miners pickets were
not visible. but soon after party nun ber-
ing about 100 collected near the c0lOred
forces. Care was taken to keep the maln
body of negroes out OF hearing. The
strikers held conversation with the ne
grces, urging them to join the UNION.
The guards were doubled, but three
negroes walked up 70 the guards, presented
their revolyers and walked over to the
UnioDsts. Whenever The guard endeav-
ored to press back the colored miLors
strikers urged them more vebenently to
desert. Secretary Putnam and Sheriff War
rem advised putting the main body at work,
leaving the smaller number for guards, and
efforts were made to put sixty men into the
mine. At this tine 800 strikers with brass
band approached and were met by Putnam
and Warren and restrained from proceed
ing further Putnam expressed confidence
TO the operators in his ability TO control the
strikers and his disbelief in fears Of violence.
In the meantime the miners committee
approached the line and one OF their num-
Der commenced speech. Inc excitement
among the negroes was very great. They
crowded down TO the lines and a general
stampeGe was imminent. Efforts were
made TO restrain them, but some thirty or
forty. in small squads, deserted. Several
efforts were made TO check the desertlOns,
the most successful of which was the sing
ing by loyal negroes Of various pieces tamil
ias to the negroes, thus drowning the voices
OF the speakers on the other side.
The plan of the strikers seems to be to
weaken the force Of the negroes by deser-
ton, and they say they will not use force.
The operators ray they are not discouraged;
that thew have more negroes coming, and
if necessary, will bring 1000 men.
Some negroes returned to duty during the
and while a number have been
at work with the miners, others are throw
