men shot at Franklin, public meeting of the
Black Diamond citizens was held to consider
the question whether the company's offer
should be accepted. know that the more
quiet and industrious men were in favor of do
ing so, for the only difference between the com
pauy and the men was the company's retaining
the right to hire and discharge men. The more
position in this was justified.
One man proposed in this public meetinu
vote be taken to see whether the majority wsre
in favor OF going to work or holding out. Rut
this proposal was objected to by the Knights OF
Labor, who insisted that such a vote should
only be taken in private in their hall

EASTERN LABOR TROUBLES.
Another Amalgamated Strike-Illinoia
Coal Mines Closed Down.


CLEVELAND, July six hundred employees OF
the Union and Lake Erie rolling mills here
struck today because the employers refused to
sign the amalgamated scale.
Sr. LOUIS, July 1.-The Consolidated coal
mines in the Collinsville district of Illinois
closed down today. Between 800 and 40 miners
are thrown out OF employment The shutdown
il caused by the taking effect of the recently
passed weekly pay bill.
WASHINGTON CRY, July 1.-The secretary Of
the treasury today stated that he thought the
proposition of the Federation of Labor that
compliance with the request of the Knights of
Labor would be an injustice to Federation men
on the 'chance" roll, was eminently fair. He
accordingly decided to postpone the final de-
cision until he could have interview
with President Gompers, of the Federation.
The Knights were surprised at this decision,
and insisted on the complete Reinstatement of
the discharged men within fifteen days or q
month, but the secretary is firm in his decision.
The secretary subsequently said that in his
opinion the matter had evolved into q contro-
versy between the organizations, and at present
there was nothing left for him TO do.
