MES the Sensational Incidents.
ST. LOUIS, July I3-The situation at
Grape Creek, H., grows worse. A large
number OF plantation negroes were
brought from Kentucky last week to take
the strikers places, and renamed at
work uamolested until Yesterday, when
the white miners, to the number of 200,
armed with rifles. shot guns, revOlvers
and clubs marched in a body TO the mines
and demanded of the negroes that they
return whence they came. After an eX-
tended pariey the oOlOred men marched to
Danville, some miles distant, where they
will consider carefully the advisability of
continuing at work. In the meantime
the mines are idle and the strikers are
jubilant. Should the negroes decide TO
return and fulfill their contracts with the
operators, a riot and bloodshed will un-
doubtedly ensue.
THE PRESIDENTS VERSION.
In an interview tonight with the Pres
ident of The Grape Greek Coal Company
he stated: ''The dispatch from st. Louis
saying that an armed force of 200 men
had marched to the mines and demanded
the negro miners to return to
the South is incorrect. No vio-
lence has been offered the new men
by the old miners. Many of the miners
have been induced not to work, but de-
tachments OF new men are being brought
in. The statement that all the strikers
have been dismissed by the company and
elected from it's houses Is correct Some
of the Nashville miners were induced to
return to the South, their fare being
paid by the old men,"
