prevention Of operations at the Sandy
Greek mine. The strikers say that they
will resume their marching tactics,
claiming that under the ruling of Judge
Goff. in the West Virginia cases, they
are given this right.
Samuel DeArmitt says that $50 to
It's men are at work in the Plum Greek
mine today. 1t is announced that the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal COM
pany will make eight more evictions
today from eight different company
houses. 1t Is not probable that there
will be any trouble.
The sheriff does not say what course
he will pursue should marching begin.
but thinks he is ready to meet every
emergency.
Sympathy for the strikers by the
farmers and citizens is not diminish
ing in the least Yesterday there were
about 700 visitors to the camp at Sandy
Creek, many of the farmers who came
bringing wagon loads Of provisions.
Citizens Of New Texas sent word that
they had plenty of food for the men,
and wanted them to call on them when
needed.
The developments will be watched
with unusual interest this week. Both
sides were apparently at rest yester-
day, but it was developed that at the
conference today there will probably
be a disruption. By many it Is be-
lieved that M. D. Ratchford. the na-
tional president of the miners or
ganizatlon. will not be present. 1t is
claimed that he will stick to his origi-
nal assertion that he will not agree to
arbitrate unless all the states in
volved are represented. 1t is we'll
known fact that the operators of other
states will not join the local operators
in the movement for arbitration. If
Ratchford Is obdurate the conference
will be useless.
From q reliable source is was learned
that If the operators start mines on
the lines laid down other mines will
also be started by the miners. 1t is
proposed to select operators who are
not represented at the conference. and
who are friendly to the miners. They
will be given permission to mine coal
at the rate demanded, and the coal
stored. By this means 1t is expected
to get fund from the union miners
that happen to be working, and with
this fund pay the expenses Of fight
against imported labor. The miners
officials are making arrangements to
have fund on hand to send foreign
labor home just as fast as 1t arrives.
With mines operated under the juris-
diction Of the labor leaders, and with
operators that are friendly, who reap
a profit, they hope to have available
q large fund. This plan has been out
lined, and will be submitted to the
national officials IL the conference
proves failure.
