KICK OF THE COAL MINERS.
The Feeling Against Accepting the
Compromise Strong.

Urging Them to Reject the Agree
ment-Eight Thousand Miners in
Mass Meeting at GIouster Vote Not
to President Mcbride Dis
gusted.
Columbus, O., June 13. - Dispatches
from mining towns in Ohio to-day indi-
cate that the feeling against accepting
the settlement of the strike is every
where strong. A. A. Adams, the presi-
dent of the Ohio miners, who opposed the
settlement to the last, and refused to sign
it finally, has undertaken campaign
against it, and is addressing miners at
the mining centers urging them not to ac-
cept the settlement. He is very radical
leader, and holds theories closely border
ing on anarchy.
The Straitsville miners, 1900 strong,
say they will not go to work. However,
they have held no meeting to consider the
agreement
At Glouster 5000 miners in mass meet
ing adopted resolution declaring the
settlement premature and declining to ac-
cept.
President Mcbride, when asked today
whether it seemed probable to him that
the settlement would be accepted, said he
did not care whether they did so or not
AS an officer of the miners organization
he had labored earnestly and honestly
for the miners best interests. If they
wished to throw aside the result of
his work, that was their privilege
He hoped, however, that when the
miners received the Official statement of
the matter and had cooled down some
what, they would conclude that the thing
10 do was to accept the conditions of the
settlement.
Adit. Gen Howe has asked the sheriffs
Of the counties in which there are now
state troops on duty for permission to
withdraw part of them, but so far none
of the sheriffs have consented to this. 1t
is costing the state about $4,000 day to
maintain the troops now in active SER
vice.
TWO MORE BRIDGES BURNED.
Massillon. O., June 13.-Two more
bridges were wGntonly burned on the
Wheeling and Lake Erie road this even
ing at Fuller's mine, two miles east of
Sherrodsville. The company had the
temerity to assume that the strike was
virtually over, and moved one train of
West Virginia coal The ca6ooso was
barely out of sight of Sherrodsville when
the bridges were burned down and the
telegraph wires cut. 1t will require at
least four days to get the road open for
freight traffic.
The miners say they will not accept the
Columbus compromise.
A DoNNYBRoOK AFFAIR.
McClainsville, O., June 13.-About 9
O'Clock this morning. while Company
K Of the Eighth regiment, was lying
around its camp at the big cut, a mob of
about 30 strikers attacked the soldiers
with clubs and stones and undertook to
stampede the company. Capt. Waybrecht
saw that the attacking party had no
firearms, so he told his men to lay aside
their guns and meet the strikers with
their own weapons. A DOnnybrOok af-
fair followed, in which the Poles, Hun
garians and Italians composing the at
tacking party were well whipped and
routed, with no casualties more serious
than bruises and cuts on either side.
ON THE FENCE AT MDONALD.
Mcdonald, Pa. June 13.-A mass meet
ing of 1000 miners representing the mines
of this vicinity including those of w. =.
Rend, was held here to-day. The object
of the meeting was to decide whether the
miners should abide blythe terms of the
Columbus compromise. AS no official notice
OF the compromise agreement had yet
been received from President Mcbride it
was decided to wait for this information
before taking any action. The feeling is
strongly against accepting the 69-cent
rate. Whether the miners will return tC
work on the receipt of President Nc
Brides circular is hard to say
1t is reported that President Mcbride
was hanged in efgy by the miners at
Hayes Station this morning The for
elgn element is becoming desperate, being
almost on the verge OF starvation.
TO RESUME IN LAWRENCE.
New Castle, Pa, June 13.-The miners
IN the southern part of Lawrence county
have been reduced TO the verge OF starva-
tion during the strike. They are rejoic.

settled, and work will probably be re
sumed Monday.

dent Mcbride. At a mass meeting yes

sented calling on all the officers concerned
IN the settlement to resign.

Minonk, ILL.,, June 13.-The miners at a
