Pittsburg. Aug. 19.-When court
opened yesterday Judge Collier handed
down a decision in the injunction pro-
ceedings of the New York and Cleve-
land Gas Coal company against the
United Mine Workers of America, Pat
rick Dolan, William Warner and others.
The preliminary injunction was made
permanent, and the plaintiff was or
dered to file a bond of $1,000 to answer
for such damages as may be sustained
by the defendants by reason of the in
junction. Immediately following the
issuance of the decree, and on motion
of Thomas Patterson. the court or
dered similar decree to be drawn in
the case against the Bunola miners,
in which the Injunction was applied
for by Rufus C. Crawford.
In order to follow up their advan-
tage the operators held a largely at
tended meeting last night at the
Monongahela House and arranged for
tn starting of their mines with or
without force. If force seems to be
unavoidable 1t is the intention to start
a few mines at once, under the pro-
lection of deputies, and whatever ex-
pense may result will be shared pro
rata by the mine owners. This scheme
to start the mines was successfully
adopted to break the national strike
in 1894.
President Dolan, of the miners or
ganization, does not believe the move
ment will be a success this time, as
the strikers are more in earnest than
in any former struggle. 1.-THE operators
now talk about their inability to pay
the advance on account of having taken
contracts at the 54 cent rate" he said.
when they made those contracts they
were fairly warned that higher rate
would be demanded. We called for
conferences, and told them not to make
any contracts based on the low rate
for digging. So that there could be
no possibility of a misunderstanding
we issued a public notice, and had it
printed in the daily papers. They were
told plainly not to make any contracts
based on the 81 cent mining rate. We
did not take any advantage of them,
for they knew what was coming. When
spoke of strike they merely laughed,
and said: We will have you starved
out in two weeks They see now where
they were mistaken, and want to start,
but they will not succeed. We will es-
tablish a Camp and march at every
mine where the attempt is made to
operate. We will fight to the bitter
end
Camp Determination at Turtle Creek
was reduced in numbers from 200 to so.
The men who were told to go home
gathered in an angry crowd, and de-
nounced the officials bitterly. Secre-
tary William Warner came in for a
large share of vituperation from the
crowd. They demanded of him work
or assistance. He replied rather CURLY
that he would get them jobs in the
Workhouse.
Urish Bellingham, in charge of the
camp at Plum Creek, put damper on
the campers at that place yesterday.
He had just returned from the city,
where he heard the courts decision in
the injunction case. He told the men
there would be no more marching and
no need of such a large number of men
at the camp. He advised the men to
dispense to their respective homes, and
get work wherever they could. At this
camp, where on Tuesday there were
800 men, today there are less than 1O0
Sandy Creek camp is practically
abandoned, and it is not known whether
it will be opened again or not. All told.
there are less than $50 men now en-
camped about the three mines.
