and preventing the miners of the plaintiff

inducing or compelling any employe or miner to quit work A hearing was fixed for Aug: IS.
 The injunction as returned is rega,d as the most sweeping yet issued. Presi- dent Do,an expressed surprise when in- formed thsa it had been granted, and addsd "1t will make mo difference to us.
 We will not break camp, and wiz go right along as usual until the matter ts tested in the courts We win stay there rs gard less of every judge in Allegheny coun y, and if they try to enforce the injunction they win have to build more jails to &C., commodate the prisoners"
 1.-the strikers march in the morning as they now say thsy will, in defiance of the injunction, capiases will be issued for the offenders on the charge of contempt 1 of court. Should the injunction be en- forced the strikers camps around the
 Rearmitt nin-s will soon be extinct The l strikers, though excited over the turn | or events are in no wise disheartened. Developments at Cannonshurg are be- | ing watched closely. The avowed in- tention of the strikers to march tomor-
 row, despite Judge Mc1lvane's injunc- 1 ton, is expected to result in bloodshed or
 the filling of the county prisons with the arrested miners.
 The long talked of demonstration against the Westmoreland coal mines has
 been abandoned by the strikers after
 one days trial because of lack of food.
 The attempt, it is said. will be repeated
 soon when ample provisions will be car i ried along and siege proclaimed and carried to successful issue.
 The injunction secured by the New
 
 York and Cleveland Coal Gas company was rad by President Dolan by depu- ty this afternoon at Miners headquar- ters. MT. Dolan, who was writing at the timef lscarcely stopped his work for
 more than second and when the read ing was finished acknowledged 1t by
 merely saying: Thank you'
 He says the injunction will not change the miners campaign in the least.
 Ex-President Miller came into head injunction to Dolan. He said the miners will continue as heretofore, using all law full means to keep the miners from work ing during the struggle for living wages. It is the intention of officers of the court to foresta.ll the marching in the morning by going to the camps tonight and reading the injunction to the camp CTS. If this is done the crisis will be cer- | tainly reached at about o'clock in the morning as the strikers appear determ- ined to test their right to carry out their usual program. It is said that when the | deputies do start to enforce the injunc- tion they will be compelled to arrest ev- cry man for contempt and that as fast as | the men are placed in jail others will be brought into camp to take their places and thus the deputies will be kept busy making arrests until the jails are over crowded. It is claimed by the strikers that this movement of the company is only another plan for getting the militia on the ground. When they find that the miners will not obey the injunction and that the jails are becoming crowded in this manner 1t is expected that the sher-
 tiff will adjudge that his deputies are not sufficient to cope with the situation and he will be constrained to call out the
 militia. This is the view of the situa-
 tion taken by the leaders of the strik-
 CTS now in the camps.
 This evening the strikers at Plum Creek held meeting and voted unani- mously to hold the fort until arrested. The strikers say if one man is arrested they will have to arrest all
