Matters were quiet at the Gravel Pit
this morning-mOst Of the men who went
TO work yesterday not going down, as
they were subpGnaed 10 appear at the
trial at the Mayors office this morning
A large force Of miners' wives were
present, however, and did some lively
talking-intimating that they proposed
TO make il lively for anybody who would
attempt to go down. There will probably
be more fun at the Gravel Pit to morrow
morning.
The miners this afternoon held a meet.
ing on the river bank near the Market
street wharf. Quite number Of speeches
were made, but no special business was
transacted.
From tie GIIelie.
The action OF the miners wives in 20.
ing to the Gravel Shaft this morning to
stop men from going to work there is not
calculated to create ior them that feeling
OF public sympathy which will be to their
interest. The cause Of the strikers will
not be improved by such conduct on the
part Of the women, and the men should
use their influence to prevent n recur.
renee oil such action az took place ,hi.
