STRIKES.
That's What the Operators are
Preparing to Do.
A SEPARATE WAGE SCALE
Proposed Which Is Expected to Be a
Part of the Agreement for
Next Year.

PrrTsBURa, Sept Expectations are
high in coal mining circles over the
probable resumption of work in the
mines throughout the country.
In anticipation of a settlement at Co
lumbus next Wednesday, another plan
has been suggested by representative
of one of the largest operators which
will be agitated Immediately after the
men return to work. 1t will be formu-
lated and submitted to the joint con-
vention of operators and miners, which
it is proposed to hold next December.
In order to come to an understanding
scales are to be formulated for each
mine. The scale is to provide for the
rate to be paid for the entire year, and
any special concessions that are to be
made are to be agreed upon by the
miners and operators, and so specified
in the scale. The scale is to be an
adjunct to the uniformity agreement
which is expected to be in force. The
proposition viii be made by the oper-
ators in the hope of putting all the
safeguards possible against probable
strike.
1t is we'll known that there are no two
mines in the entire district where the
conditions are exactly alike. The uni
formity agreement covers the general
points, but even with it III existence,
some operators would be subjected to
difficulties, while others would have
special advantages. The scale is to cover
all these points, the primary object be-
ing to avert differences, create more
friendly feeling between the employers
and employees and restore perfect har-
mony throughout the district.
Philip Stambaugh, cousin of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and a partner i'll the
firm of Osborn, Seagar 81 Company,
was in Pittsburg yesterday afternoon.
He said the men formerly employed in
the Eclipse mine, on the Wheeling di-
vision of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, would be asked to go to work at
the 50 cent rate. He was not prepared
TO say how many men would go tc
work.
There was report at Turtle Greek
today that agents of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company was
working among the foreign strikers
endeavoring to get them to return tC
work at the 81 cent rate ON the promise
that half of their wages which are be
ing held back by the company would be
paid back ON Sept. 20, and the other
half on Oct 20. Steps were at once
taken to Offset this move, and the
campers missionaries report that none
of the men will go back to work until
the strike is settled.
Captain Uriah Dillingham;, in charge
of the camp at Plum Creek said: 81
think it would be foolish if the miners
do not accept So cents, but in any event
you can be sure that we will keep uI
the fight against Dearmit until we win

Probably Murderer Arrested.
New YoRK, Sept. {. -Eugene o. ara
alias Joe Bates, alias James Brown, 4S
years old, burglar, highwayman, des-
perado and probably murderer, who cut
his way out of Jefferson Market prison
here six years ago and has been hunted
ever since, was recaptured yesterday by
detectives. After his escape, O'Hara,
with another fugitive from justice
named Joe Stranahan, made his way to
Colon, from which place they proceeded
later on to Europe, where they commit
ted a series of bold crimes.
Three years ago O'Hara returned to
the United States, and at Columbus,
o., was caught in the act of burglary.
He served q term of two and half
years for this crime, and during the
period of his imprisonment was not
recognized as the escaped prisoner from
this city. O'Hara was released recently
and took up residence in Jersey City.
He made trips across the North river,
and at last the police were informed
that O'Hara was visiting his old haunts
here and took steps to arrest him.
Under the name of Joe Bates, o. Hara
in 1878 was sentenced to term of seven
years at Sing Sing prison for highway
robbery committed here. Again in 1885
he was caught robbing a saloon in this
city by Policeman. William Ketchale.
O'Hara made an attempt to shoot the
policeman, but was finally landed i'll the
station house. Before being sent to
state prison q second time, O'Hara
threatened to kill Ketchale when re-
leased.
On Aug. Z, 1891, Policeman Ketchale's
dead body was found floating in the
North river and the mystery of his
tragic death has not yet been cleared
up. AS O'Hara was known to be out Of
prison, orders were issued to arrest him
ON suspicion of having killed Ketchale.
Four days after the finding of the po-
lceman's body, Patrolman Thomas f.
Mcguire was stabbed three times in the
back by O'Hara. After fight with
another policeman named Sherwood,
the murderous crook was overpowered
and arrested. He was then committed
in default of 81, 900 bail to the jefferson
Market prison to await trial for his at
tack ON Mcguire. O'Hara cut the prison
bars with a saw and escaped.
