AN EVENTFUL DAY
EXCITING INCIDENTS ATTENDING
THE MINERS STIKE.
Mutiny In the Strikers Camp, a Muir
der in the Deputies Ranks and
h Injunction Hearing Make the
Day an Exceedingly Lively One
Criminal and Civil Suits Against
the De Arnitts-Some Surprises
in tore.

Pittsburg, Aug. IS. - The day was
fraught with exciting incidents in mat
tiers pertaining to the miners strike.
Mutiny in the strikers camp, a MUIR
der in the deputies ranks, filing of
criminal and civil suits against the
| De Armitts and the hearing in the in
junction case against President Dolan
and others kept both sides to the
| struggle busy and on the Qui vive all
day long
The hearing in the injunction case
before Judges Stowe and Collier was,
perhars. one of the most important
and interesting ever held in n Penn
| ~sylvania court. 1t vas a hearing in
which both capital and the rights Of
labor were interested, and the decision
is expected to have a telling effect on
/ the conduct of the great coal miners
strike which has been on since July 5.
From the testimony adduced N from
the expressions Of the court it can
safely be said that there will be some
surprises. That the injunction will be
materially modified there can be no
doubt, which, on it's face. would indi-
cate Il victory for the strikers. The
preliminary decree has been continued
pending a consultation of the judges.
Judge Collier said in court that the
strike would go down in history as
one of the wonders of the country, and
remarkable on account of the utter
lack Of disorder, for which the strikers
are commended and have the sympa-
thy of the court. Said he:
''There can be no question as to what
our duty is under all the testimony,
but l am somewhat in doubt as to
whether or not the order should be
modified. We cannot determine this
without a consultation"
Judge Stowe said: ''This injunction
will not Justify the issuing of an at
tachment against any marchers who
are not found in company with the
men named in the injunction"
He let it be understood that the in
junction is not so sweeping as has
been thought; that only the five men
AIMED in the wit are restrained from
marching or ~trespassing on the COM
pany property.
AS near as can be learned the strik,
ers under the injunction car march,
but not at stated times, as long as they
are not in company with any of these
defendants.
