The Belmont Courier, referring to the
recent trouble at Typo occasioned by
the arrival OF number of Chinese wood
choppers, gives the following version of
the matter: The 2 g Company, under
the expectation of doing an immense
business during the coming SIMMER, has
let numerous and large contracts for the
furnishing OF their works with COAL az
gregating some millions of bushels. The
company claims that the prices are upon
white labor basis. The contrac-
tors claim that they have endeavored in
vain TO procure white lahorers in Eureka
and Belmont. and elsewhere, and having
failed must employ any kind of labor pro-
cureable or pay the penalty named in
their contracts for failure to fuIfll,
which to most mean ruin. Under these
circumstances a dozen Cinnamon were
brought In and set to chopring wood. A
large number OF the workingmen held an
fn3sgaasion meeting and about mid
night escorted them out Of town. In
