COLUMBUS, June l0.-OlclalB OF the
United Mine Workers have received
from Erwin, Pa, where $4,000 miners
are employed, a message endorsing the
action Of the national board. Secretary
Patrick Mcbride said today that the
officials had learned that strike was
never won by violence. The fret act OF
violence destroyed the hope OF making
a rational settlement. A mass meeting
not to accept the so cents. A motion to
request the national officers to resign
was voted down, pending further in
vestigstion. President Adams con-
demned the national officers.
Governor Mckinley was 80 much en-
couraged tonight by the favorable turn
affairs have taken in the mfnere' strike
ment Withdrawn. The other troops
will be withdrawn in few days. The
opposition to the Oolumb bus compromise
lie rapidly disappearing. Vice President
Adams apparently miscalculated the
strength in the opposition to the new
compromise.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CASE.
SALINEvILLE, O., June 15.-At mass
meeting of miners held here, the men
have decided to refuse to work on Mon
day at the 60 cent rate. Resolutions
were adopted calling for the resignation
OF Mcbride and vote of thanks ex-
tended to President Adams on refusing
to sign the Columbus agreement.
BEACH CRY, o., June 15.-Several
shots were fred on Company A, Four
teenth regiment, stationed three miles
below here, last night, and the soldiers
returned the fire and stood their ground.
No one was injured.
NEW PHILADELPHIA, o., June 15.-The
miners at Barn Hill, Goshen and Stone
Creek at a meeting held tnis afternoon,
decided to remain out and continue the
strike. About 600 are involved.
COAL MOVING.
MAssILLoN, o., June 15.-Since early
today the Cleveland and Lorraine road
has been rushing along coal trains north
ward, and the blockade which has ex-
listed several days, has been raised with
out an outbreak at any point. More
turbulent spirits among the miners view
the resumption of coal traffic on the road
with threats, which bode evil to the
company if an opportunity presents it,
self to put them into execution.
Owing to threatened trouble north of
here the military guard has been ex-
tended to Warwick along the line from
that point to Urichevile. Every bridge
and trestle is heavily guarded.
STILL DEBATING.
BELLAIRE, o., June 15-This after
noon at the opera house here the coal
miners of this section held meeting to
consider and act upon the Columbus
conference, nearly 1000 miners being
present. They could arrive at no con-
clusion, and adjourned to await the out
come of the convention to be held in
Columbus next Tuesday. No mines will
resume in District 6. If the miners
had accepted go cents, this being the
coal center in Ohio, it would have
broken the strike.
MINERAL POINT, o., June 15 "A Joint
meeting of miners OF Mineral Point and
Sherrodsville. with over 500 miners rep
resented, decided not to accept the con-
ditione of the Columb bus conference, but
to eubmit the question to another con-
vention, thus endorsing State President
Adams.

The scale committee made partial
report, but as it was late the committee

case OF the miners east of Pitts burg will
be considered.
MINERS DIsA POINTED.
Brazil, Ind, June 10. Vice. Presi
dent Penna of the United Mine Work
ers in an interview said:
THE miners are disappointed by the
settlement and so are we. | believe,
however, that when the excitement has
subsidized and more sober thought as-
serts itself, the miners will ace that only
their interests were considered and the
best terms that could be secured were
obtained. The charge thst Mcbride
sold out is nonsense. The figures of the
compromise we're agreed to in meeting
of the national board, composed of %
men in all. That meeting was held on
the 9Th of this month and the figures
agreed upon were unanimous. There
was no vote against them. President
Adams was one of the district
presidents present and did not oppose
it. After a careful canvass, acting under
authority of Instructions from the Cleve-
land convention, the compromise was
agreed to by all present. In the face OF
these facts no cane man would believe
in the sell out charges. believe that
when the miners hear the facts which
caused US to 60 back, some OF which ap-
