Galloway, OF the Union Pacific road to-
day instructed ID. A. Clark, Superintendl
ent of the Coal mines at Rock Springs, TO
pay of all the striking miners, and give
them passes 10 leave II they 90 within n
week. MIR. Galloway says that they must
20 within that time or pay their fare If
they go by the railroad. He received a
telegram today from President Adams Of
the Union Pacific road, stating that his
(Callaway's) course is approved by the

wholesale walk-out with a comparatively
small handful of disgruntled miners.

last evening, held a short conference with
MIR. Galloway, little of which has been
made public.
THE 10-HoUR LAW.
DETROIT, MICH, Sept. 2i.-Specials
from Menominee report that all the mills
on the Michigan side OF the lake have
been closed down on account of the 10
hour law, which has Just gone into ef-
feet. At first 1t was desired TO have the
men sign contracts waving their rights
to reap the benefit of the new law, but
the opposition was such that the mill
owners shut down to await develop
ments. At Manistee LOCO men are out of
employment because they refused to ao-
cept a proportiOnate reduction Of pay
with the changed hours.
DESTROYED BY MINERS.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 21.-A report comes
from Bevier, Mo-, that at an early hour
this morning an air compressor, TO be
used in the coal mines of LoOmis 81
Snively, at that place, was blown 20
pieces by dynamite or some other ex-
plosive. The machine had not yet been
unlOaded from the car on which IL had
been taken to Bevier. There is no clue
yet to the perpetrators OF the act, but it is
supposed to have been done by some Of
the white striking miners, who formerly
worked at the mines, to wreck vengeance
upon LoOmis Il Snively, who now employ
none but negro miners. The machine
was valued at about $4,000.
MINERS STRIKE.

ployed at the Union Valley, Anderson
and Peters Greek mines on the Baltimore

still firm.
