P1TTsBURa, Aug 2l. "A struggle in the
courts has been developed in the Fourth
pool where the miners have been at
work for few weeks at prices below the
price for which all the miners along the
river ars striking. The officers last week
visited that pool with boat load OF
and succeeded in bringing out
all those who had been at work except
Neers miners. This man Neel is the
one who recently had twenty-five miners
tried for conspiracy, and is known as the
most determined foe OF labor along the
river. The men he had at work were
under contract to work at less than the
price, and as most of them own property,
he threatened to sue them for damages
If they struck, Thus they, we're cowed
into submission. The officers and men
who visited the pool tried to get them to
come out anyhow, but they are strongly
guarded by constables. Neel has been
promised the support of other operators
and has had two officers of the expedi-
ton arrested, including President Cos
tello. This is probably what Costello
wants, for be viii insist on being tried
and will test the conspiracy laws of
Pennsylvania, that give all the injustice
to the miners and the justice to the
operators. There is considerable ex-
citement along the rivers as there are
some 5000 men idle and lively times
may ensue this week. The railroad
miners are NOT convinced that they need
the Trades Tribunal for another year.
This is q form Of arbitration under the
protection of court The operators 80
far have had all the advantage of it and
do not live up to 1t by failing to put
check-weighmen on their tipples. But
since the tribunal has been in force there
has been no strikes. Arbitration is not
looked on with, much favor about this
section. One of the resolutions adopted
at the Amalgamated convention was in
to arbitration and in favor Of
the continuation Of their present system,
