WEE CITY. Kan. July 22.-No second
violent outbreak has occurred yet, but it
is looked for. \ large meeting was held
in Bakers hall Noah Allen, ex-assistant
attorney general, was present and ad-
dressed the strikers at some length, depre-
eating violence, but making otherwise an
intlammatory speech. Another large NEE
ing of the strikers was held in the old
school building. but its result is not
known. None of the strip pits were at
work, but some of Clemens men went
back 70 their pit and got the remains of
the property lef there. In the afternoon
n crowd gathered and started 10 shafts
Nos. Il and Is with the intention of driv-
ing out the men guarding those proper
ties
They Put the Women in Front.
After hanging around for some time the
crowd gradually dispersed. The mob of
strikers consisted OF French and Belgian
women as well as men. The men at the
shafts were we'll armed and the conflict
would have been a bloody one Sheriff
Arnold was on the scene and assisted in
dispensing the mob. The feeling among
the business men has been very bitter
against the manner of handling the dis
turbances. The women are being con-
stantly stirred up by the men TO take the
leading part on the supposition that they
will not be fired upon. The sheriff has
agreed to place a large force of deputies to
guard the Kansas and Texas shafts.
Will Apply for Uncle Sam's Protection.
All of the mine compane, doing bust
ness il southeastern Kansas are incor-
porated under the laws of Missouri and
are consequently foreign corporations 1t
is proposed to apply to the United courts
for an injunction restraining every striker
from trespassirg upon the property of the
mine owners or from interfering in any
way with men who are at work in the
mines. The proceedings are similar to
those taken 10y the Missouri Pacific Rail
way company in 1856 and by the Toledo.
Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan Rail
way company recently.
United states NIarshaIs Expected
The feeling among the strikers is very
bitter, but although they are repeating
their threats TO burn the residence of the
Kansas and Texas shaft and also the office
of The Tribune they have done nothing of
the sort yet. 1t is reported that a force
of special deputy United States marshals
will be here this afternoon, called here by
the nonresident companies. 1t is reported
also that Walters and other leaders of the
strikers will be here to take personal con-
troll. OF course trouble is anticipated
Attempt to Get the strip Pit Men Out.
Al Pittsburg the miners and strip pit
men held meeting which was addressed
by President Walters, of the Miners asso-
citation. Large numbers of shaft miners
were present, but they were requested to
leave and only the executive board of
the mine workers was allowed to remain.
The session lasted the entire afternoon
and it was decided to call delegate conven-
tlon of the strip pit men to meet in Pitts
burg next Monday to take into considera-
ton whether they will come out with the
shaft strikers or not. None of the latter
are to be allowed to be present excepting
the executive board
