Special Dispatch to the Register.
MCDONALD STATION, June 13.-Delegaaons
of miners commenced to arrive here at an
early hour, this morning, for the purpose
of attending a convention for the purpose
of deciding whether or not an encampment
should be established. Several delegations
were accompanied by music, which seemed
to put spirit into the proceedings. yi
Quite number of the delegates had
evidently provided themselves with a
liberal supply of spirits before leaving
home. Taken all in all, however, the con-
yention was very orderly. The question Of
wages was thoroughly discussed the
unanimous sentiment being in taypr Of
holding out for the four cent. per bHshel
scale.
The announcement that ..
The CHARTERS Mines,
about mile above Mansfield, had given IN.
and had resumed work, to-day, at four
cents, was received with wild reclamation.
This mine had been paying the price, but
had been supplying dealers whose men
were ON a strike. For this reason the last
convention ordered the men out OF the
mines. This had the desired effect, and
work was resumed to-day.
There was some difference of opinion re-
garding the advisability of forming camp,
some delegates claiming that the men were
now more comfortably fixed than they
could be in camp. President Jones was
early on the grounds and addressed the
convention several times. He favored the
Establishment OF q Camp
for those who had been evicted by their
landlords, arguing that they could thus be
better taken care of than when scattered
over so much territory. It was finally de-
cided that camp should be established,
and this will be done Immediately.
While the "black sheep" who have taken
the places of the strikers were bitterly de-
nounced, no one advocated the use OF force
to compel them to quit. Everything will
be done according
To Law and Good Order.
President Jones thinks the moral effect of
camp in the vicinity of the mines will
have good moral effect upon the black
sheep, and will soon result in their retire
ment. The operators still continue import
ing Hungarian and other Immigrant labor.
At Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, June 13.-More men than
Yesterday went to work this morning, at the
Cleveland rolling mill, and two more de-
partments were started up. No violence
was offered, and no disturbance other than
some shouting by some idlers in thestreets.
The yelling which has been done by the
crowds as the workers 60 to labor has been
magniied in the rumors, and attributed to
the strikers, but in the main the strikers
have been very orderly, and 1t is very
doubtful if they are chargeable with the
Union street conflicts, which, in less ex-
citing times, would pass for drunken brawls
and attract little notice. The strikers wore
badges, and no violence has been traced to
them.
CLEVELAND O., June 1a-When work
stopped, tonight, at the Cleveland rolling
mill the greater part of the hands were put
| in railway cars in the yard and sent down
town. Perhaps seventy-fye Bohemains
who live in adjacent districts We're formed
| in line and marched between squads OF
police, numbering ABOUT MY allOSelnol' W
| the street cars, an eighth Of a mile from
he mills.
The streets were filled with. people so
| the police had TO clear a
way for the passage, when about half way
| to the cars, the mob began lively fusilade
| of stones and cinders, aimed first at the
| workmen, but as the excitement increased,
| policemen were pelted as we'll. Scarcely
any OF the officers or laborers escaped being
hit and many were seriously cut and
bruised.
Detective Lawrence, who undertook to
| arrest a fellow for throwing stones, was
| knocked down and brutally beaten and
kicked, but appears not to be dangerously
| injured. Patrolman Silsby was also con-
| siderably battered. Six stone throwers,
some wearing strikers badges, were
arrested and lodged in the Central station,
| to which place they were taken in con-
veyance, least if left in the precinct prison
an attempt would be made to hberate them.
The mayor and heads Of the police de.
partment are in consultation tonight, in
reference TO the most effective method OF
preventing a repetition Of tue outbreak To-
morrow.
