MERCHANTS RALLY TO AID THEM

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 12. 1S97.-The'
striking miners at Canonsburg have
determined to force the injunction issue
by continuing the daily marches and
meetings in the neighborhood of the Nc
Govern and Canonsburg mine in spite OF
the order of Judge McIlwaine, of Wash
ington, forbidding marches on the public
roads leading to the mines. The purpose
is to have the men arrested in order to
test the legality of the injunction.
Patrick Dolan stated that it had been
determined to keep up the marches, and
as fast as one group is arrested another
will take its place until there will be SO
many of them in Jail that the public
opinion of the community and country
will. be aroused on the question OF the
alleged new form of Injunction In this
movement the support of all the leading
trades unions of the country is said to
have been pledged as result of secret
meeting at Columbus during the last three
days and which was presided over by
Samuel Gompers, President of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
Information has been received by the
Pittsburg operators that the miners OF
Bell Lewis & Yates Company have struck
in the Reynoldsville district, and that all
the mines of the company are idle. The
company is one of the heaviest tonnage
producers in the northern field. and
shipped extensively to the Buffalo and
New York State markets, as well as to
the Eastern seaboard coaling docks.
About 5000 men are employed. No infor-
nation has been received from the
Pnnxsiltawney and Clearfield districts,
but at East Brady it was reported tnat
the miners at several pits IN those ois-
tricts are out, grievances peing OF q iocai
