pea last night, ok cars OF falrmnnt
coal for the Cleveland, Loraln AZ Wheel
ing road, arrived In Rellaire last evening
at o'clock. The cars were at once
switched TO the Cleveland Lorain &
WheelIng's tracks and train made up.
The coal train left Dellaire about s
o'clock last night. At midnight 1t was
learned that the train had passed
through the coal region in the Wheeling
creek valley without being held up.
An Intelllgencer man went to Dillon
vale. up the river ON the line of the
Wheeling S Lake Erie. yesterday morn
ing. expecting that there would be a
clash when the miners willing TO work.
resumed, as Il had been announced they
would resume. However, the Dillon No.
mine did not resume and there was
not the slightest friction between the
United States marshais and the strik-
ing miners.
Il seems that seventy-fvc or eighty
men who had announced their willing
ness to resume yesterday morning at
the mine mentioned decided at a meet
ing held Thursday night. that they
would not 60 to work II It We're neces-
sary for them to be protected by the
marshals. So when the mine whistle
blew early yesterday morning, only ten
or twelve responded and were willing
TO work, hut these We're overawed by
the large number of strikers that had
gathered at the mine entrance, though
several deputy narshals were on the
scene 10 prevent the working men from
b6lng attacked.
The action OF the few men that had
appeared ready to work was received
by the strikers and their sympathizers.
With great enthusiasm, 1t is the general
belief that there would have been n
clash had the men persisted in their
determination 10 work at the Dillon
mine. Not only the Dlllonvale strlk-
ers, but the better organized men from
Long Run. It Is alleged. would have
strlven to prevent the mine from being
worked
The presence Of the deputy marshals
az Dillonvale and Long Run is quite
dIstastoful to the mining population.
The officers have to run the gauntlet OF
ill-natured remarks from men, women
and children, hut they have restrained
themselves and arc now quietly await
ing the rumored repetition of the man
aBenent Of the Wheeling q Lake Erie
Company to resume operations at Its
mines.
The following notice remains posted
on the coal company's buildings about
the village:
al; persons are hereby given notice
that these mines are being operated by
the undersigned as receivers OF the
United States court All persons In
our employ win be fully protected by
the United States court. Al others are
hereby warned that they must not mo-
lest In any way the persons in our en-
ploy. or the property In our possession"
The hope of the Wheeling L. Lake
Erie management that II would he able
10 induce the unorganized miners at
Dillonvale to resume work will prob
ably be blasted to-day, when Thomas L.
Lewis. OF Bridgeport, secretary OF the
Ohio miners Organization, goes to Dill
lonvale for the purpose Of re-organizlng
the men into local union Of the United
Mine Workers of America. The Long
Run mon have kept up theie organiza-
ton. but the men al Dlllonvale, who
have had less work than the MIXERS at
the other 2lRce. have lapsed through
inability 10 keep up THAR dues. Now
they have received promises of aid and
are desTous OF reorganization into the
miners organization. Their Teorgani-
Zatior means that It win be PRACTICAL
~ Impossible for the Wheeling & Lake
Er;e COMPANY To start their DillonVale
and Long Run mines with the old men.
The rumor that the company will en-
deaVor to start up with outside men, is
not confirmed. but It is not likely that
the attempt will be made.
The Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad
Company has issued an order 20 all OF
the freight agents OF It's line. forbldding
them TO receive consignments ~ beer.
whiskey or other intoxlcants for either
Dlllonvale or Long Run. This action
was brought about through the action
OF men named Williams aud Dotninic-
ko. who ordered and had shipped to
them. n carload Of beer from Wheeling
10 Dlllonvalc. in the face OF tho fact
that that portion Of Jefferson county
has local option. The railroad company
fears that the intoxiclnts Will inllame
the strikers to acts OF violence and law-
lCssRcss.
