reedings Of the New York and CIeve-
land Gas Coal company against the

aered to file bond of $1,000 to answer
Tor such damages as may be sustained

marching or in any manner interfer-
Ing with the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company's miners has had
3he effect of almost depicting the
camps about those mines and appar-
Emily a general Generalization among
The campers exists.
- 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. II force seems to be
unavoidable 1t Is the intention to start
q 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
gahization, does not believe the move
ment will be 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 "a 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 misunderstanding
we issued public notice, and had it
printed in the daily papers. They were
told plainly not to make any contracts
based on the "a cent mining rate. We
did not take any advantage of them,
for they knew what was coming. When
spoke of q 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 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
large share Of vituperation from the
crowd. They demanded Of him work
or assistance. He replied rather curtly
that he would get them Jobs In the
workhouse.
After Warner left a number Of the
men threatened to return to their re-
spective homes and go to work in their
mines. They said the strike was
flzzle Some Of the men left for Irwin
and Greensburg districts, where they
will look for work.
Uriah Belllnsham. in charge Of the
camp at Plum Creek, put a 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 large number Of men
at the camp. He advised the men to
disperse to their respective homes, and
get work wherever they could At this
camp. where on Tuesday there were
500 men. today there are less than 100.
Sandy Creek camp Is practically
abandoned, and 1t 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
President Dolan said today that his
men would continue to march, and If
the sheriff arrested them other men
would take their places at once. Said
he: II sent an order to all Of the camps
yesterday afternoon to continue the
marching on the same peaceable lines
that we have been following, and I
am willing to abide by the result. We
do not intend to give UP an inch of
what we have gained. If we are ar
rested we will go quietly and submit
to whatever punishment Is dealt out
to us, provided It is proved that we
have broken the law. We do not wish
to swerve the sheriff from the line Of
