GREATEST MEETING YET
More Than Five Thousand Strikers At
tend an All.Day Session.

More Than Five Thousand Strlkers AT.
tend an All-Day Session.
P1T1sBURo, Aug. 8. - The striking
miners have broken oil records both as
to numbers attending their mass meet
ings and the excellent order and law
abiding behavior they have exhibited.
1t is conceded by all that in former
times under similar circumstances, riot
and bloodshed would have resulted long
ago from the conditions under which
the miners have been placed during this
strike. The mass meeting of miners at
the McCrea schoolhouse during the day
was the greatest during the strike and
probably the largest gathering Of the
kind ever seen in Allegheny county.
More than 5000 striking miners were
gathered for an all day session and labor
leaders harangued them in various
tones while bands of music served to
Stir Up the Enth"siasm
to the highest pitch. From early morn
ing miners of every nationality were
gathered at the schoolhouse. They came
in big bands and small ones but the
one that set the camp wild with ell
thusiasm arrived at 1925 from Turtle
Creek. It consisted Of 1000 miners
from that camp and when they came in
sight there was such cheering as has
not been heard since the strike started.
A few minutes after the arrival of the
Turtle Greek division, the speakers ar
rived in carriage. They were NJ. P.
Carey, president of the Painters and
Decorators; w. A. Carney, vice presi-
dent Of the Amalgamated association;
Mrs. Mary G. Jones, the female labor
agitator of Chicago, and NJ. j. Couna-
han of the Painters and Decorators.
The speeches were not Of al inflamma-
tory character, and the big crowd was
orderly during the whole day.
Miners Are Very Confident.
The feeling in the camp was one Of
triumph. The miners claim that they
are on the high road to success and the
enthusiasm which was seemingly slum-
bering the previous day was at fever
Leaf.
The force of deputies was kept busy
during the entire night. Every move
was watched and trouble seemed to be
in the air. Both sides feel that there
is crisis near at hand. The officials of
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company gave out the statement that
their forces were increased in the Turtle
Creek and Sandy Greek mines and that
more men were ut work in the Plum
Greek mine than there has been since
the campaign against the company
started.
The hearing of Patrick Dolan began
at p. III. before Justice Semmens of
Turtle Creek. The miners officials
have engaged attorneys and the case
will be fought to the end.
