will remain peaceable until the end
The district mining officials We're in
the city today arranging the details
for the continuance of the camps al
the De Armitt mines. They were elated
over the change that has been worked
In the situation, and the president is
the authority for the statement that
the entire New York & Cleveland Gas
Coal company interests have been
fought to a StandStill.
The lull in the situation after the
exciting events of the last twenty-four
hours is the first opportunity the Of
hclalS have had to size up the situa-
ton. AS a result each of the three
camps of striking miners was today
placed under strict military govern
ment. This will be continued until the
camps are abandoned. Two members
of the district executive board were
placed at each camp. These men are
to receive instructions from Dolan and
Warner and no further general move
is to be made unless a general con-
ference is held.
1t was rumored this afternoon that
the fourth pool operators are to take
advantage of the siege of De Armitt's
mines and start the mines along the
Monongahela. The Charles Jute and
Elizabeth Coal companies are min
ing. and it is said three more opera
tors are contemplate ting asking for a
sheriff'S posse to guard their mines
before they place non-union men in
their mines The miners officials say
they will have little trouble in getting
these men out if they succeed in clos
ing De Armitt's mines.
Mr.. De Armitt is confident the strik-
ers cannot wholly shut down his mines,
and AYERS that a change will come over
the scene within the next few DAYS.
although he does not say how this is
to be brought about. Mr.. De Armit1
inttmated he would spring the injunc-
ton against the miners, which was
granted May 25. 1885, and which was
sustained by the supreme court after
the superior court had reversed the
lower court. This injunction, which
was issued against John Cairns, Came
ron Miller, Patrick Dolan, Owen Cruz.
William Warner and others, was made
perpetual and restraints the defendants
from assembling and encamping upon
the highways, roads and premises ad-
joining the mines of the plaintiff or
in the vicinity of the same for the pur-
pose of intimidating and preventing
the plaintiffs miners from working.
ETC.
Mr.. De Armitt said: "The miners
employed at our mines are not only
intimidated from going to work. but
they dare not leave their families a.
home at the mercy of mob response
BILE to no one. The mob has increased
until it is beyond the control OF the
law"
