but they had very little sleep, for at 2;S0
a, M, the alarm was again sounded,
and they turned out, knowing that It
would be hours before they would
again be permitted 60 rest
From that time until daylight there
were numerous clashes between the
deputies and strikers, and several times
a bloody riot was narrowly averted,
At a. m, Sheriff Lowry and Deputy
Sheriff Richards arrived across country
from Turtle Creek. They drove into the
patrolling parties and Ia SO doing gave
the men TO understand that any argu-
ment was OF no avail This action
caused a Jam of men that impeded their
progress. There was n man who did
not seem disposed TO move on as direct
ed, and Sheriff Richards read copy of
the injunction and delivered 1t 60 him.
The man would not give his name and
for want OF better one, Sheriff Lowry
dubbed him John Brown,
In SulIen Mood.
The men were In sullen mood and
nearly hundred others gathered about
the sheriff. One man demanded to
know by what law the courts granted
an injunction against citizens who were
using the public roads for lawful pur-
pose. He was Immediately stood up
and served with a copy OF the injunc-
iNgr pin
ment among the men, and Sheriff Low
ry made a short speech, saying the men
were defendants in q suit brought by
the New York and Cleveland Gas Cdai
Company and that the injunction
would hold good until Monday. when
they would have hearing before
Judges Stowe and Collier He added; l
command you as high sheriff OF Alle-
gheny county, to cease this marching.
You must not molest these men who
want to work. They have as much right
to the roads as you, and II You do not
desist, In obedience to this Injunction,
will arrest you.
Deputy sherlffs formed line across
the road and forced the strikers to
move along. Seeing no way to help
themselves, the fife and drum band
commenced to play, and the men moved
on In the direction OF their camps. BY
this time the news OF the sheriff's ar
rival and action had reached the diyis-
Ions OF strikers guarding the miners
houses across the ravine, and they has

The invitation was not accepted, and

injunction Read.
George Kelly, of Claremont, and MI
chael. of Carnegie, marched ahead, car
rylng flags and attempted to break
through the ranks OF the deputies. They
did not succeed, however, and were
compelled to stand and listen to the
reading OF the injunction. A few OF the
more stubborn ones offered resistance,
and asserted right to go down the
road In the direction OF the pit mouth,
but Sheriff Lowry was firm and told
them as they had come from their
camps, they would have to return that
way. One OF these was James A. Bruce,
colored, OF California. He said he had
paid his taxes to pass through the lines
OF the deputy sherifIs. When refused,
he insisted that his name should be
added TO the list OF defendants in the
DeArmitt equity suit, and also demand
ed n copy not only OF the injunctton,but
of the allegation upon which It was is

Mills, with half dozen of his compan-
ions, seated themselves on the side OF
the road and refused TO move. They
said they could not be made to move by
all the deputies present and n wordy
war ensued. Finally Deputy Sheriff
Clark seized Barrow by the shoulders
and a dozen strikers ran 10 his assist
ance. One striker with cooler head
than the others, shouted to them not to
resist the officers, and after much per-
suaslon, Barrow and his companions
moved of.
The strikers then marched TO Camp

As the result OF serving the inJunc-
tIons on the marching miners and tho
subsequent prevention of the march,
excitement bordering on CONSERVATION
existed among the heads of the vari-
GUS labor organizations in this city to-
day. Representatives OF the several or
ganizations called at miners headquar-
ters during the day.
All were more or less excited and
wanted to devise some plan by which
the local labor organizations can enter
a protest against the Issuance OF the
blanket lniunctions.
"There seems" said Secretary War
ner, ito be wholesale protest from all
the organizations against the blanket
intuHctloHs and they want to make
some demonstrations Of dlsapproval
that win be in violation OF the law.

and we viii be guided by him"
At the special meeting Of the United
Labor League on Sunday evening the
Injunction question Will be one OF the
principal topics OF consideration. II Is
probable that some ringing resolutions
will be adopted and action taken In be-
half OF the coutonding miners. These
resolutions will be sent to the court on
Monday before the time set for the
hearing. -
