mittee promised obedience to the law
in the future and deplored the in
done to railroad property, which they
said was brought about by persons
having no authority There were
over $50 miners hanging around the
station and switch all day, the tele-
gram stated. Upon receiving the in
formation that the troops were coming
the majority of them left and the re-
mainder di persed after the arrival OF
the militia.
The Sheriff and detachment of the
militia started TO hunt down the ring
leaders, and the compan rs train crew
began repairing the tracks. The few
strikers who remained were behaving
splendidlv," the Adjutant stated. Two
hundred and thirty militiamen march
ed from Sullivan to Shelburn. All is
reported quiet there. Fourteen COM
panies are now Ia the mining region
At Washington the State troops
marched into G arks station 500 strong
with Calling gun, to find that only
fifty miners had stayed to face the mu-
sic. The militia was drawn up in
line along the edge of the woods
and Sheriff Leming then rad
the warrant against the miners
for riotous conspiracy and placed
three of the leaders, Squire Summers,
Dick Gate, and John Flynn, under ar
rest. AS soon as the troops were in
line the railroad men at once repaired
the track and the loaded cars we're
taken on west. The 1000 miners who
were reported en- route to Clark's sta
tion did not materialiZe, neither had
they collected at any point along the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern.
The certainty that the officers intend
ed to enforce the law seemed to quell
the rebellious feeling among the men.
The miners say that as soon as the
troops are withdrawn they will again
stop all coal cars, but anticipating this
two companies will be stationed at
Clark's until all fear Of trouble is past.
It is apparent tonight that the back
bone OF the strike has been broken.
The militia have done the work. The
Washington miners deserted their col
leagues here and the Cannelburg min
er5 are too few to do anything
but submit tonight. TIE militia met
no resistance.
Miners Sullenly See Cars Move.
Sullivan-The State militia arrived
in Sullivan from the southern part of
tho State, in all numbering 900. They
stopped over here and waited until the
trainmen could get an engine TO take
the coal out of Shelburn, then as soon
as the trainmen came they boarded
their special train, bound for the Shell
burn district. Sheriff Mills, in COM
mand, stopped the train south of the
depot, got his soldiers all ready, then
made march and surrounded the
train. No demonstrations were made
by the few miners who were pres
emit. One old lady with pi toll
under her apron, who marched out
ready for action with the militia, was
Mills until he scared the gun. The
miners had each car branded "scab
coal" The miners made threats that
this did not mean much TO them AMI
that the Evansville and Terre Haute
should not ship coal unless they kept
standing army at Shelburn all the
time. and claimed that no more coal
should pass through there until this
was settl d. Several hundred people
gathered to see the battle between the
miners and the militia. After the
militia had finished their work they
came back to Sullivan and went into
camp at the fair grounds, with only
one man in tho hospital.
bi,ters Attempt tn Wreck Cars.
Brazil.-A desperate effort was made
TO wreck freight train No. 81, sup
posed TO be hauling coal, just east of
here. The Vandalia found two coup
ling pins wedged in switch frog, but
luckily the train was running slow,
and was stopped quickly after striking
the pins. The engineer claims that IL
he had been running at the usual rate
the entire freight would have been
ditched. The work was undoubtedly
that Of strikers.
