DOLAN ARRESTED.
Miners Leader Is Charged with ViO-
ratinx Anti. Marching Injunction.

Miners, Leader Is Charged with Vio-
1atinx Anti. Marching Injunction.
Patrick Dolan, district president Of the
United Mine Workers of America, was
arrested in Washington County, Pa,
while leading body Of marchers on a
public highway past the Allison mine of
Cook & Sons, near McGovern station.
Ever since the strike started the miners
have been making daily marches from
their camp to the mine. From the mine
to the railroad there is a tramway, under
which runs the public road known as the
Washington pike. Wednesday morning,
with a band at their head, about 400
marchers tramped along the pike and
passed under the tramway. On their re-
turn they were stopped by deputy sherlffs
and told they could not pass under the
tramway, but must return to their camp
by crossing a field and coming down the
railroad.
The marchers decided to remain where
they were and communicated with Presi-
dent Dolan by telegraph. He arrived
shortly after o'clock and made a speech
to the strikers. He said the deputy sher-
ifs had no right to stop them from march
ing on the public thoroughfare as long
as their mission was peaceful one, and
fold them he would lead the procession.
The band, with Dolan at it's head, and
the marchers following, then started
down the road to go under the tramway
and on to the camp. When Dolan reach
ed the tramway he was told by the dep
nty sheriffs that he could go no farther.
when he wanted to know the reason why
he was told that such q move was a yio-
lation of the law and the injunction. This
Dolan denied and the arrest followed. He
was taken to Washington on the first
train, while the marches returned to
their camp.
