ST. LOUIS, July 1S-The Bituation at
Grape Creek, ILL.,, whers the mlnerp are
on strike for higher wages, becomes more
s,rious each day, and, although no actual
disturbance has occurred, It cannot be
long averted, for the strikers arc deter.
mined that no laborers except themselves
Ihall work the mines, and the operators
are Just as determined that they will con.
duct their buainess without interference
or diCtation from any body OF men. A
force OF thirty-ive deputy sherils Con-
stantly guard tho mines.
The plantation negroes brought from
Kentucky last week, to take the strikers
places, remained ut work unmolested
until yesterday, when the white miners,
to tho number Oi 200, armed with rifles,
shot gunu, revolYers and clubs, marched
In a body 10 the mines and demanded oi
the negroes that they return whence they
come. After an extended parley, during
which the most intense excitement pre-.
vailed, the Colored man marched to Dan
vile, some miles distant, where they will
consider carefully the Rdviaability Of going
to work. In the meantime, the mines are
idle and the strikers jubilant. Should the
negroes decide to return and ful6ll theil
contracts with the operators, riot and
bloodghed will undoubtedly ensue.
