have dispersed. having attained their
object without trouble. Immediately
upon receipt of the news of the pro-

pits ordered a suspension until the eX-
citement should die out. go
The strikers held a meeting, at which
speeches were made to the effect that
If the men did not remain out the
strikers would return 1000 strong and
instead of bringing musical instru
ments they would bring guns. A COM
mittee was appointed to guard the
mines and report in case the men re-
turned to work
Some of the men are afraid to go in
again, as they say the strikers threat
ened violence and said they would burn
the cars and tipples.
The strikers now say suspension in
the Panhandle district is absolute, but
the operators of the Boone and Alli-
son mines say their men are not on
strike and that their mines were closed
down by their orders to prevent any
possible conflict.
The operators express themselves as
being alarmed over the situation and
have doubled their force of deputies at
the mines. The trainmen who are to
take the coal from the Allison mine
have been armed with winchesters.

plauded by the miners. He organized
a branch of the United Mine Workers

President Katehford sanguine.

Columbus, o., July 20.-President
Ratchford sums up the strike situation
as follows:
THE manner in which the miners are
conducting themselves commends itself
to the country and gives their officers
renewed encouragement and strength
ems the belief that victory ultimately
will crown their efforts.
THE history of industrial strife has
no parallel to the present movement.
Deputy marshals, coal and iron police

but their presence has failed to incite
the miners to acts of lawlessness or even
to resumption of work. Their pres
ence in peaceable communities with a
chip on their shoulder gave some cause
for alarm and ordinarily would have
caused a resort to violence. But our
miners in this instance. profiting by the
experience of the past. would neither
cause trouble themselves nor allow
themselves to become involved in trou-
BILE by the action of others.
Reports from some of the cities to
the effect that the coal supply is not
short are only intended to discourage
the miners. If the coal supply is not
is coal worth 81 a ton and even $1.50
more than it was two weeks ago? Why
are the railroads confiscating coal ship

ries whose wheels are put in motion by
the labor of the miner ceasing to oper-
ate? Why are operators all over the
states offering their miners a rate even
higher than the one demanded If they
will only continue at work?
"The reason is patent to all. Coal is
scarce. Those who have it to sell get
fancy prices. and those who offer an adj
vance, particularly in West Virginia
and portions of Illinois. do it for the
purpose of checking and defeating this
movement. and miners who do not know

Complaints Against American steamers.

Ottawa, July 21.-The Richelieu and
Ontario Navigation company has COM
planned to the minister of customs that
American steamers are reported to be
carrying excursions between Canadian
points contrary to the law. The steam
ers ply for excursions between Cana
dian points and evade the law by mere
ly calling at an American port en-
route, thus giving the coloring of in
ternational trade to the proceeding. 1t

been largely patronized by church pic

"The organized trades of the country
