meeting of 1900 miners, representing
the mines in this vicinity, including
those of W. F. Read. was held here to-
day The object of the meeting was to
decide whether the miners should abide
by the terms of the Columbus compro-
mise. AS no official notice of the COM
promise agreement had yet bsen re.
ceived from President Mcbride, it was
decided to wait on their information
before taking any action.
The feeling is strong against accept
Ing the 20 cent rate. Whether the
miners Will return TO work on the re-
ceipt Of McBride's circular is hard to
say. 1t is reported that President Nc
Bride was hung in effigy by the miners

tion.

make nny compromise with the dele
gates at Altoona The leaders advised
the men to stay just as they are. to
obey the law aud to offer no violence to
the guard ii they do this they will BE-
victorious in tho struggle.

among the miners were excited, but
conservative speeches made by inter-
prefers kept them in check Nose of
the men who had been served with
eviction notices at HorRtio voluntarily
LIT the housts today. The failure Of
Governor Pattison to respond to their
request for the use OF tents until the
trouble is over is causing them anxiety.
The settlement of the strike in other
sections has had no perceptible effect
