Pittsburg, Aug. 19.-When court
opened yesterday Judge Collier handed
down a decision in the injunction pro-
ceedlngs of the New York and Cleve-
land Gas Coal company against the
United Mine Workers of America Pat
rick Doan, 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 a similar decree to be drawn in
the case against the Bunola miners,
in which the Injunction was applied
for by Rufus c. Crawford.
The courts decree in making perma-
nent the preliminary injunction re-
straining the strikers from camping
marching or in any manner interfer-
ing with the New York and Cleveland
| Gas Coal company's miners has had
the effect of almost depicting the
camps about those mines and appar-
emily a general decentralization 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 e starting of their mines with or
l -.
unavoidable it Is the intention to start
a few mines at once, under the pro-
! lection of deputies, and whatever ex-
| pense may result win 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. "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 an advantage of them,
for they knew who,a was coming. When
I spoke of a 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 a
large share of vituneration 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 10 work in theii
mines. They said the strike was 8
fizzle. Some of the men left for irwin
and Greensburg districts, where they
will look for work.
Uriah Bellingham, in charge of tht
camp at Plum Creek, put a damper OF
the campers at that place yesterday
He had just returned from the city
where he heard the courts decision II
the injunction case. He told the me1
there would be no more marching ant
no need of such a large number of rneT
at the camp. He advised the men t
disperse to their respective homes, anC
get work wherever they could. At thi.
camp, where on Tuesday there wer,
800 men, today there are less than 100
Sandy Creek camp is practically
abandoned, and it is not known whether
it viii 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 hii
men would continue to march, and 4
the sheriff arrested them other mel
would take their places at once SaiC
he: 81 sent an order to all of the caanpi
yesterday afternoon to continue tn,
marching on the same peaceabIe line,
that we have been following, and
am willing to abide by the result. w,
do not intend to give up an inch o.
what we have gained If we are ar.
rested we will go quietly and submit
a to whatever punishment is dealt out
to us, provided it is proved that We
have broken the law. We do not wisf
to swerve the sheriff from the line OF
his -uty."
