J, N,s been received by the Pittsburg op.
eNtors that the miners of the Bell.
Lewis and Yates company have struck
in the Reynoldsville field, and that all
the mines of the company are idle. The

producers in the northern field and
ships extensively to the Buffalo and
New York state markets, as well as to
the Eastern seaboard coaling docks
About 5000 men are employed.
Supplies from all sections Of the
Union are coming to the miners. A
cereal company at Akron sent dispatch
Offering to donate two tons Of cornmeal,
agreeing to ship it whenever directed.
The offer was thankfully accepted and
the cornmeal will be distributed among
the homes Of the miners i'll need. The
Fishermen's Protective association OF
Astoria, Ore, offered to send East 100
cases Of canned salmon to the miners,
which was also accepted.
New injunction MOVE.
A new move is to be made by the
company. A number of miners who
are working will file a bill in equity,
asking that the strikers be restrained
from marching past their houses. They
say that the continued noise and excite
ment is endangering their own health,
as well as jeopardizing the lives of
members of their families who are sick.
In its application for the injunction
the plaintiff company sets forth that it
is corporation under the laws Of Penn
sylvania with capital of 81, 600, 600 in.
vested in coal lands of Pennsylvania.
Three of their mines, employing 1900
men, are Plum creek, Turtle creek and
Sandy creek. The bill then recites the
conditions prevailing at their mines
since the strike began and alleges that
the strikers have paid no attention to
the sheriff 9 proclamation and that the
lives of the miners and the property OF
the company are in danger.
The Injunction Granted.
Judge Collier granted preliminary
injunction restraining and enjoining
the defendants from assembling, march.
ing or encamping in proximity to the
mines and houses Of the miners for the
purpose by intimidation, menaces,
threats and opprobrious words OF re-
proach preventing the miners OF the
plaintiff from working.
It further restrains the defendants
from inducing or compelling any en-
ploye or miner to quit work.
A hearing was fixed for Aug. l6.
The injunction is regarded as the
most sweeping yet issued.
President Dolan expressed surprise
when informed that it had been granted
and added: lit will make no differ
ence to US. We will not break camp
and will go right along as usual unit
the matter is tested in the courts. W.
will stay there regardless of every judge
in Allegheny ctunty, and if they at
tempt to enforce the injunction they
will have to build mare jails to accom-
modate the men,"
Start New Movement.
Ex.State President George Harris O
the old miners union was in conferenc
here with the miners officials relativ
to the extension of the strike into tn
coal fields of pennsylvania. He states
that the miners are dissatisfied and, h
believes, can be induced to quit work
which would aid materially in bringing
success to the movement. The Jeffe1

pany employs about 10000 men, b
says, and they are turning out dali
from $4,000 to 80. 600 tons Of coal, mos
