Colonel s. w. Scott, who is in charge Of the
protection of the Oregon Improvement Com
pamy's property and employees at Newcastle and
Coal Greek, was in the city yesterday. In an
interview with PosT-ISTELLIGEscER reporter,
he said: 'sThey are increasing the output at the
mine every day. They hauled out 572 pit cars
and shipped two trains, sggregating about 500
tons, to the city on Saturday. They expect to
raise 600 pit cars tomorrow, and will continue 70
increase the production. Between 80 and 16O
men are employed now, and there are 200 in
camp. The Others will be given work as soon as
some OF the breasts have been cleared out. The
strikers remain peaceful, and believe that ali
but about fifteen OF them would go TO work II
they were not afraid of the Others II they
wanted 70 raise Q row, ! don't believe
they could get more than forty men
together and the number would soon dwindle TO
about ten. As soon as Sheriff Woolery gets
ready to put force of deputies at Newcastle TO
preserve the peace between the men who are at
work and the strikers, j believe that more men
will break away. The Sullivan guards have all
left, Colonel Marshall having gone to st. Louis
this morning."
Company B, of thirty-two men. left Franklin
yesterday morning and arrived in the city about
p:30. They marched direct to the Armory and then
dispersed TO their homes, glad that their cam
paigning was over. Lieutensnt-Colonel Green
remained behind in charge of the post, Frank
LAwton remained in place of member OF
company who has been granted leave OF ADJ
sence, and Thomas Jordan returned as q substi-
tute for Charles Robinson, of company.
Several of Sullivan's guards returned with the
company and none are left except those who
are retained as watchmen at the mine. Corporal
Albert Sailing is among those who returned, ana
denies the statement made in the letter OF tho
Western Central Labor Union committee that
he had 200 guns in his charge at Franklin. He
says that he never had any guns in his charge
except those which were turned over to Colonel
Green.
Company C left on the s:45 train on the Lake
Shore road for Gilman, forty-five strong. Com
missary Hatfield, Quartermaster Kellogg and
Quartermaster Sergeant Fisher went with them
and established them in camp and returned
with Companies and <.
At $40 p. m. Companies d and E, commanded
BY Captains Allen and Ingraham, arrived in the
city accompanied by Colonel j. C. Haines and
his secretary A. NJ. Cameron, They marched up
Columbia, Second and Union streets to the
Armory, where they cast off their knapsacks and
uniforms and gladly became civilians again.
Four members OF ID company-James o. Donnell,
y. A. Adams and William Crist-will return to-
morrow morning to Gilman and be attached to
@ company.
Colonel Haines said last evening: "The sit
nation is improving daily, and matters are
quieting down. I had q conference with the
sheriff this evening and he thinks that If the
situation continues toimprove he will be able
70 withdraw the militia and preserve order with
the aid of his deputies alone"
