ers- This was the only disturbance
recorded at the camps today. The ag-
gressive workmen escaped before the
men in the Oak Hill camp We're aware
Of the fight. The report that Sandy
Creek camp will be abandoned is de-
MED by the strikers today, and they
say that the men will be sent there
from Plum Creek and Turtle Creek. In
addition to the general missionary
work for the week the leaders have
decided to direct especial work to the
prevention of operations at the Sandy
Creek mine. The strikers say they will
resume their marching tactics in the
morning, claiming that under the rul-
ing of Judge Golf in the West Vir-
Sinia cases, they are given this right.
Samuel De Armitt says tonight that

Plt'n Creek mine tomorrow.

but thinks he is ready to meet every
emergency.
Sympathy for the strikers by the

bringing wagon loads of provisions.

Pittsburg, Aug. 22.-Developments in
the coal mining situation in the Pitts
burg district will be watched with IN
usual interest this week.
Both sides were apparently at rest,
today, but it was developed that at the
conference tomorrow there Will be
probably be a disruption. BY many it
is believed that M. D. Ratehford, the
national president of the miners or
ganization, Will not be present. It is
claimed he will stick to his original
assertion, that he will not agree to
arbitraIte unless all the states involved
are represented. 80
It is a we'll known fact that the OPP
orators of other states will not join
local operators in a movement for ar
bitration. If Ratchford is obdurate the
conference will be useless. This in
brief is the situation, and it is appar-
ent that both sides are making prep
arations for a movement that will be
to their benefit.
From reliable source it was learned
that if the operators start mines on
the lines laid down, other mines will
also be started by the miners. Il is
proposed to select operators who are
not represented at the conference and
who are friendly to the miners. They
will be given permission TO mine coal
at the rate demanded and the coal
stored. BY this means it is expected
to get a fund from the union miners
that happen to be working, and with
this fund pay the expenses Of a fight
against imported labor. The miners
officials are making arrangements to
have a fund on hand to send foreign
labor home just as fast as it arrives.
With mines operated under the juris-
'diction of the labor leaders, and with
operators more friendly who reap a
profit, they hope to have an available
and large fund. This plan has been
outlined and will be submitted TO the
national officials if the conference
proves a failure.
