STRIKERS INDORSED.
Formal Action to Be Taken by the
National Board To-Day.
OPPOSITION NOT WELL FOUNDED.
Vice President Penna Investigates Indiana
Coal Troubles.
OHIO MINERS WILL AID THEIR FRIENDS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.l
COLUMBUS, Nov. 1.-THE members OF
the National Executive Board of the United
Mine Workers have been summoned to the
headquarters in this city to consider the
strike in Indiana. Vice President Penns
arrived from Indiana to-day and held a
conference with Treasurer Nc
Bryde and John Kane and John Nugent,
members of the board. They agreed to do
all in their power to have the strike in
dorsed, but will have to await the arrival
of President Rae and other members of the
board tomorrow to secure formal in
dorsement.
When the Indiana miners met recently in
convention President Rae and Secretary
McBryde sent kilograms advising the men
not to strike. These kilograms caused con-
siderable ill-feeling on the part of the Indi-
ana miners toward the national officers.
Vice President Penna has been in Indiana
for short time investigating the conditions
at the chief mining centers, and has re-
their opposition to the strike was not well
founded.
Secretary McBryde has already acknowl-
edged his error was due to misunderstand-
ing, and it is believed President Rae will
be persuaded to see matters in the same
light.
The Endorsement of the strike by the Ma
tional Executive Board means that the
miners will receive assistance from the de-
fense fund. 1t is the general understand
ing that the Ohio miners will assist the
strikers in Indiana by refusing to mine coal
to supply contracts of Indiana operators.
John Nugent, Vice President of the Ohio
miners, says every operator in this State
who tries to fill Indiana contracts will have
his mines shut down all winter.
Vice President Penna says the Indiana
miners are in condition to continue the
fight for three months longer. He reports
old prices. A number of operators are
paying the advance until the trouble is set
tied. Mr.. Penna says that with financial
assistance the Indiana miners will either
win or give the operators such tussle that
they will be glad to come back into the
Interstate agreement.

CONSPIRACY CLAIMED.
The Case of Murdock, Kerr e. Co.
Against the Printers.
A PORTABLE NEWSPAPER OFFICE.
The Snowden Mine Story Denied by the
Company and Employees.
SOME GENERAL INDUSTRIAL NOTES

Yesterday afternoon the motion for a pre-
fminary injunction in the case of Murdoch,
Kerr s. Co. against Typographical Union
No and Pressmen's Union No. 13, came
mp before Judges Kennedy, McClung and
Porter.
The injunction asked for is to restrain the
defendants from interfering with the plain
tiffs' workmen or business and from collect
ing about their place of business Attor-
neys j. S. Ferguson and James Evans ap-
peared for Murdoch, Kerr & Co.,
and Attorneys W. C. Stillwagon and
ID. +. Patterson for the defendants.
The case opened by Mr.. Evans reading the
bill filed. He then read number of affi-
davits on the part OF the plaintiffs, setting
forth acts committed by the defendants at
various times. 1t was alleged that they
had followed the workmen on their way to
and from work, threatened and tried to in
timidate them to induce them to quit work,
and had gathered in front of the plaintiffs
place of business and hooted and yelled at
the men.
Attorney Stillwagon followed for the
defendants. He read affidavits made by
each of the defendants, in which they all
denied any conspiracy, or that they had in
any way interfered with the plaintiffs
workmen, or having ever used force or
threats. 4 number of the men asserted
that they had not taken any part at all in
the strike. When the afidavits had been
finished, Mr.. Ferguson argued on behalf of
the plaintiffs. He said that the defendants
had answered as individuals, but
they did not make answer to the
principal allegation. That was that
as members of the unions named they had
conspired to prevent the work of the
plaintiffs from going on unless their de-
mands were acceded to. He asserted that if
men struck they were not only liable for
damages, but the Court could enjoin them
from opening their mouths to prevent any
one else from going to work.
Judge McClung remarked that there were
unions on the part of employers.
Mr.. Ferguson answered that capital had
been compelled to organize by reason of the
organization of labor. Mr.. Ferguson con-
tinued his argument, directing it against
labor unions, when Judge McClung said he
was arguing generally; court of equity
must have something to take hold of to en-
join. Mr.. Ferguson asserted that the ac-
tions of the defendants as members of the
unions, aside from particular instances,
constitutes conspiracy and that the Court
could enioin them.

WEIGHING WASTE PAPER AS MAIL.
An Iowa Millionaire Railroad President

An Iowa Millionaire Railroad President
Tried BY Federal Court.
DEs MONIES, la, Nov. H.-In the
United States Court here to-day, action was
taken which apparently makes it certain
that the celebrated mail-stuffing conspiracy
cases will now go promptly to trial. The
charge is that President John c. Newton, OF
the Des Moines and Kansas City Railroad,
with an alleged accomplice, M. +. Oxford,
attempted in most novel and 1ngenius
manner to extensively defraud the United
States Government.
During 80 days test of the amount of
mail carried bv Newton's road, which was
to be used to compute the annual payment
to the railroad company from the Postal
Department, it is alleged that Newton and
Oxford forwarded huge amounts of old
newspapers, waste paper, etc, to secure
heavy increase in their Government sub
sidy. To-day's proceedings consisted in
the courts overruling the objections of the
defendants attorneys. Newton stands Algh
and is rated as a millionaire. His former
home was in Holvoke, Mass.

A Lively Fire Creates Some Excitement IN
Brooklyn's Center

A Lively Fire Creates Some Excitement in
Brooklyn's Center.
NEW YORK, Nov. ia fire that occa.
stoned much excitement occurred at an
early hour this morning in Brooklyn. The
flames were discovered at 2:20 o'clock, in
the third floor of the four-story frame
building No. 120 Nostrand avenue. The
buildings were occupied chiefly by the
families of mechanics. The flames spread
with great rapidity, and in half an hour
four of the buildings were mass Of fire.
The widest excitement prevailed among
the people in the neighborhood, and the
streets were filed with half-dressed, crying
women and frantic men. By 3 o'clock the
whole row, consisting of eight frame houses,
was in flames, and every available engine
in Brooklyn was fighting the fire. After
the flames had been subdued it was found
that the reports of loss of life were ground
less, the missing persons being found by
their relatives. Two fremen were injured
by the smoke, but they will recover. The
loss on the buildings is estimated at $50, 900,
with insurance sufficient to cover the loss:

MINERS DENY THE STORY.

A Colored Miner From the Snowden Mines
Disagrees With the Reports Which
Have Been CircuIated-Reports From
the Mines Corroborates 1t.
The New York and Chicago Gas and Coal
Company, of Snowden, Washington county,
Indignantly denies the report that it is EN-.
.ploying negroes, and subjecting them to
brutal usage. Yesterday f. z. s. Percgrino,
the employment agent ofthe Snowden mine.
and Steven Young, one of the colored min.
ers called at THE DISPATCH office. They
both denied the reports. Mr.. Young told
the following story:
''There are 4S colored men employed in
the Snowden mine. We are all expert
enced miners, and have worked in the
mines of West Virginia. The reason we
went TO the Snowden mines to work was
that 80 cents is paid there for an even ton
Of coal, while in West Virginia we got
only 20 cents for ton of 2, 200 pounds.
1.-THE story that we are being brutally
treated is false. We are all armed, but
that is to protect ourselves from the striking
miners. In addition to our carrying arms,
there are four guards who are on duty to
protect us in case of an attack by the
miners. When we first went to Snowden,
the striking minere offered to pay our way
back home, but we refused it. They have
since made several similar offers"
The following dispatch from MonongaheIa
City corroborates Mr.. Young's story: The
miners in this region were greatly excited
this afternoon by rumor that the negro
miners in the Snowden mines, near
Finleyville, on the Wheeling division of
the B. & o. r. R., were being barbarously
treated being chained in the pit, and being
worked like slaves. This foolish story
spread and became more exaggerated until
every miner was filled with fury. Investi-
cation proved the story to be utterly with
out foundation, and showed that the men
were working there as before.
David Van Emen, the manager of the
mines, which are owned by the Pittsburg
and Chicago Gas Coal Company, had no
knowledge of how the rumor had started. The
statement was emphatically denied by
James Loutet, the manager of the Snowden
mines, and for many years, the inspector of
this district He said that there was not a
word of truth, that six years ago he had had
John Mckay appointed pit boss, and he
knew no such action could occur while he
was there. Many attribute the outrageous
statement to enemies, who during the strike
tried to create false impressions, concerning
the mine.

able Newspaper Office.
A portable newspaper and job Office is
e now one of the possibilities for Pittsburg.
Yesterday President Adams, of the Pitts
burg Typographical Union, told of the fol-
lowing plan which was now being con-
sidered by the International Typographical
Union:
'The International Union is now consid-
ering a scheme which / think will material
ize. 1t is that of purchasing portable
newspaper and job Office and moving it to
the scene of strike. The union can well
afford it, and can either spend $780, 900 or
100000 on an outfit. If this is done the
plant will be located at indianapolis, and
when there is a strike in either a newspa-
per or job Office the outfit can be moved to
the scene of trouble and got in operation in
two or three davs.
s'The other scheme of establishing man.
moth Job Office in Pittsburg as a permanent
thing will be decided in few days 1t is
much in favor with the members.
One Hundred and seventy-Five Men Idle.
The Brilliant Iron Works, of Brilliant,
near Steubenville, O., employing 175 men,
have closed down for an indefinite period.
There are several reasons given, one that
the mill must be repaired, but the most
plausible theory is that the mill is out of
order. The works were shut down with
out notification to the men, except when
the last turn was made. Wheeling stock
holders have been considering the advisa-
bility of changing the mill from muck to
the manufacture of merchant and sheet
iron, while others desire TO make tin plate
Meanwhile the men are idle awaiting some
cheering news.
