quite checllmated their opponents, the
| striking coal miners. The courts de-
cree in making permanent the prelimi-
nary injunction restraining the strikers
! from camping, marching or in any man
ner interfering with the New York d
/ Cleveland Gas Coal company's miners
has had the effect Of almost depicting
the camps about those mines, and APP
parently general Generalization
among the campers exists. Judges
stowe and Collier handed down n
decision in the injunction proceedings
Of the New York a. Cleveland Gas
coal company against the United Mine
Workers OF America, Patrick Dolan.
K William Warner and others. The pre-
liminary injunction was made perma-
nent and the plaintiff was ordered 10
Tile d bond OF Sc, 900 to answer for such
damages as may be sustained by the de-
PENDANTS by reason of the Injunction.
Immediately after the fling of the
decree aud upon motion of Mr. Thomas
Patterson, the court ordered similar
decree to be drawn in the case against
the Bunola miners. in which the injunc-
ton was applied for by Rufus G. Craw-
ford.
Uriah Dillingham;, in charge of the
camp at Plum Creek, put damper on
the campers at that place Wednesday,.
He had just returned from the city,
where he heard the courts decision in
the injunction case. He told the men
there would be no more marching and
no need of such a large number of men
at the camp. He advised the men to
dispense to their respective homes and
get work wherever they could. At this
camp where, Tuesday, there were 500
men, there are now less than 100.
Camp Determination, at Turtle
Creek, was reduced in numbers from
200 TO 80. The men who were told to
go home gathered in an angry crowd
and denounced the officials bitterly.
Sunny Greek camp is practically aban-
doned. and IL is not known whether it
will be opened again or not. All told
there are less than $50 men now en-
camped about the three mines.
IL is said that the men who are still
in the camps will remain there and will
march as usual in spite of the sheriff
and the courts order. President Dolan
said that his men would continue to
march, and if the sheriff arrested them
other men would take their places AT
once. Said he;
'"rhe sheriff will have to do his duty II we
violate the law, and arrest us. III he Is OF
the opinion that we are violators he VIII
have TO take US to jail and punish us like
any other criminal. 1 sent an order 10 all
OF the camps this afternoon 10 continue
the marching on the same poaccable lines
that we have been following. and l am
willing TO abide by the result. We do not
, intend 20 give UP an inch OF what we have
gained. III we are arrested we VIII go quiet
Is and submit TO whatever punishment Is
, dealt out TO US, provided Il Is proven that
wo have broken the law. We DO not wish
TO swerve the sheriff from the line OF his
duty"
In order TO follow up the advantage

the starting of their mines with OF

avoidable, Il Is the intention 10 star

, may result will be shared pro rata 10y
. the mine owners. This scheme TO star
the mines was adopted 10 break the ma

Of the miners organization, does no
a believe the movement will be n success
! this time, as the strikers are more II
/ earnest than in any former struggle.
