A number of men visited the mines
of the Consolidation company Thurs
day morning. Excepting at Eckhsrt
and Hoffman, no officials were pres
ent. At these places the men were
told in effect that no instructions
touching the matter had been receiv-
ed from headquarters. At Mr..
Thomas residence, it is reported, an
agreement was subsequently spoken
of as likely to be made a prerequisite
to employment. Its nature has not
trenspired, but it is supposed to be an
iron. clad. Reports from other quart
ers indicate that the binding process
is not concerted between the COM
panies.
Down the creek similar responses
have met applications for work.
Since the above was written it is
understood that the agreement spoken
Of concerns leases of company houses.
Quite large number of men were
unable yesterday to work in the Shaft,
owing to the presence of bad air.
Coal lading began at Midlothian
yesterday, about sixty men going to
work.
Tt ia generally believed thai next
week will witness a considerable re-
sumption all along the creek, though
number do not share this opinion.
PREPARATIONS for the approaching
Baltimore Oriole display are going on
with great vigor. A very large sum
has been contributed by the business
men with the hope Of attracting an
immense attendance. That the dis.
play will be worth seeing is already
assured, as the committees in charge
are working night and day. Aware
OF the deficiencies which marked last
years celebration of the Oriole, they
are taking pains to profit by expert
ence. In this way they expect tc
remedy the defects and improve upor
the successes OF last year. Of course
everybody will go vaa the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, the management
of which proclaims anew their ability
to provide comfortable transportation
for all that desire to attend, at hal
fare. We hope to see large atien
dance from this section.
