Pittsburg, Aug. 23-The refusal of
National President NJ. d. Ratchford of
the United Mine Workers union to at
tend a conference looking toward set
tlement Of the strike because the ILL.,

resented, may prevent the proposed con-

surprised by the following telegram from
District President Dolan at Columbus;
You have mistaken my message of

After a full discussion of the matter,
In which the charge was made by Col

the strike in the interest of the Ohio

Dolan another telegram. 1t was as fol-
lows:
Message received. You know il is
impossible to get the consent to a con-
ference of the operators of all the fields
involved. A settlement in the Pittsburg
district would bring a settlement in
Ohio. and also in certain sections of
other states. We wish to know definite
ly and explicitly whether you refuse the
invitation to a conciliatory conference
with the Pittsburg operators We also
wish 70 know whether you reject the
offer of arbitration which we now make
you. We believe you will make a seri-
Gus mistake If you refuse that just pro-
posal for conciliation and arbitration" T"

Pittsburg, Aug. 23.-De Armit's depu-

the public highways to certain classes
OF citizens at the order of a friendly
court. They arrested five men at a.
ing to Plum Creek mine TO endeavor 10
induce the miners TO come out. There
was no bloodshed, but battle between
the deputies and the strikers may be
fought at any time. Chief Deputy
Young seized two men and called out
that they were under arrest. At the
same time he shouted to the deputies
not to struggle with the strikers, but
TO arrest any man who attempted u
pass.
Formed Across the Road.
The strikers stood still to see what
Mr. Young intended to do with his pris-
oners, and the deputies thus had a
chance to form in a solid mass across
the road and to bar all passage. The

men in the body of strikers. and most
Of them started back slowly toward

dozen of them, however, who stood still
and said that the court had no power
to block public roads, and told the 9TH

either see the miners in their homes and
persuade them not to go into the pit
or be taken TO Jail.
Three More Under Arrest.
They started across the road on a
run toward the tipple with a posse OF
the deputies in pursuit. The latter
caught up to them near the company

three more under arrest. The prisoners
