STRIKERS PLAY SHARP.
This morning the striking miners en-
camped at Turtle Greek stole march
on the Sher.ff's deputies guarding The
Oak Hill mine. While the deputies were
waiting for the detachment OF campers
10 appear on the roads leading 20 the
mines, and wondering why they did not
come, the strikers were making a long
de.our so as 10 approach the mouth OF
the pit and they succeeded in getting
taere without being observed Their APP
pearance was startling 10 the few men
who were ready To go TO work and the
deputies were furriedly sent for. While
they were coming the strikers told the
men that there would be concert in
the evening and invited them 70 attend.
When a posse OF deputies, commanded
by Deputy Sheriff David Hanna, ap-
peared, a copy OF the injunction was
read TO John Large. the leader OF the
strikers, and they left the place. An
other party OF strikers went 20 Monroe
vile, but so far az they could learn no
new men were taken into the entrances
there.
NO FEAR OF IMPORTED MEN.
The strikers expressed the belief that
only one nine would be operated by the
mine owners in their effort 20 break the
strike at Plum Greek and Sandy Creek.
BY centralizing their forces the com
pany would have PSI men, which would
be enough to operate the Plum Creek
mine in full. To offset this move the
miners had arranged TO 60 into camp al
Plum Creek. Edward Mckay, who as
in charge of the campers al Turtle Creek
said today that the miners had no fear
Of labor being imported. IL would be too
expensive and would benefit the strik-
ers more than the operators, as many
mines now working would surely close
DOWN.
MINERS PATROLS KEPT Up.
Everything was quiet about Plum
Creek this morning. TIE strikers fol-
owed out the program outlined by Cap
tain Bellngham and sent out men sin
ely and in pairs 20 patrol the roads. The
deputies DID not interfere with Them. In
spite OF the injunction. the strikers
claimed thirty converts by going 10 the
houses OF the miners and talking the
strike over in a friendly way.
EVICTED MINERS.
Secretary Warren was at camp last
hight and notified the miners that any
men evicted from their houses for strik>
rs would be provided for with comfort
