Ibf TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE
COLUMBUS, Nov 3O.-There have been no changes
IN the iiocking Valley situation to-day. Officers of
the syndicate make the statement tonight that
many OF the old miners will go to work tomorrow
at inc hgurcs offered by them. general break in
the strike was prevented by meeting of the
miners at Sand Run, where resolutions were
adopted that work should not be resumed for less
than 20 cents. Precisely what binding effect this
Will have on the Of miners it is difficult
10 say; but Superintendent Carr is inclined to
thinK that all will not live up to the agreement.
ANY OF the old miners that resume work will
nave 10 sign the iron-clad agreement by which the
slgher promises to renouuce all connection with
the union. Some of the strikers say that this has
been modified, but Mr.. Carr is of the opinion that
they make that report so as to let themselves down
easily.
rumor was current here tonight that the
strikers intended to make an attack at Sand Run
to prevent break in the strike tomorrow. There
are eighteen of Pnkertons guards at that place
and preparations now making to send an add-
tional force to Illustrate any attempted riot.
1t has Of late been the policy
Of the strikers to make no attack
on Sunday night, but it is thought this custom
may be broken before morning on account of the
weakening of some of tho men and the disposition
on the part of the leaders to make effort
to hold the men together Should the
strike collapse tomorrow, scarcely half the men
could he taken back. and many the company would
not take back on any condition, because they have
made themselves so obnoxious
