MORE MEN AT WORK.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. l6.-Taklng ad-
vantage OF the suspension OF marching
n number Of men went to work during
the morning at Oak Hill mine. They
were gotten In by strategy at a. M,
and the strikers were outwltted. Agents
OF the company have been at work
among the strikers for over n week,
and. although they have Induced some
to return. the result has been dlsap-
pointing. 1t was thought enough men
could be procured to run the mine in
full. The agents worked hard, but
found about one-half of the men In full
sympathy with the demand of sixty
nine cents, while the remainder were
afraid TO 20 TO work.
Although there was no march from
Turtle Creek, number of pickets were
sent out. and, with the aid Of field
glasses they saw twenty-four men en-
ter the mine, and they returned to camp
highly elnted, thinking the mine still
badly crippled. They knew nothing,
however OF the entrances to the mine,
located near Monroeville, four miles
away. Since the siege commenced that
village has been guarded by two depu-
ties. The force was increased last night
to fifteen men, and at Il. m, seventy
dlggcrs and day men were taken to
Monroevillo In wagons and sent into
the mine through these entrances.
There are five OF these entrances near
Monroeville that have not been used for
years and the strikers were unaware OF
their existence. To get into them n lot
OF rubbish had to be removed, under the
direction of the mine engineer,
After executing this move, T. b. De
Armltt left for Pittsburgh TO attend the
Injunction hearing. He snid all talk OF
the company importing men was ball
derdash, and he claimed to have enough
Of his own men to operate the mine and
that few men not previously employed
by the company would be given work.
He said the mines would be working
full by Wednesday II the court would
make the Injunction permanent, but II
It should be dissolved the mines would
be operated with full force by Mon
day, he having promises from nearly all
his men to return TO work then.

out, many men returning home, and nj

came from the river district to-day, were
successful this afternoon In bringing the
miners at Herminle ont. About l75 men
quit work about o'clock. They all
marched over to the Aroma and Madison
works and proceeded to I'LL up with
"pollnkl." They threatened the miners
at Aroma and Madison, which number
about $50 men, intimatlng that II they
did not quit work they would be burned
out. The Incendlary language created
much excitement and It is likely that de-
putty sherlifs will be sent to the scene!
The Madison and Aroma miners are not
favorable to striking, but tonight con-
scented to attend the meeting of the
strikers tomorrow night at Madison. 1t
1t expected that a few Of the miners at
these works will Join the strikers, but a
great majority will not heed the appeals
OF the strikers. Mrs. Jones addressed
the evening meeting.
