stralning him from interfering in any

employees. He said:
I This injunction restraints me from
waking upon any public highways lead
ing 70 the mines of the Monogah Coal
anu Coke Company. This Injunction
aaihhlhllates a. the right of peaceabie assem-
plage and effectually suppress hs free
speech. Ii it is sustained, and 1 have no
a9aoG 1t will be, it sweeps away all con-
soi0utlonal safeguard and delivers us,
pound hand and foot to corporate capital.
i, ! noI9 the injunction and the judge who
ISSUED IL In supreme contempt. If 1 have
OCCASION to raise my voice in behalf of
Gne vanishing miners in Jackson's s juris-
uicllon, propose to do so, Or at least,
make the attempt totally regardless of
I'M tt,as = infamous Injunction. The farce of
ghe FSoceeding is that the injunction is
Issued by judge. 1t ought to come di-
rect from the coal corporators, and at
least hypocrioy would not intensity the
infamy of the proceedings

ed to reach De Armitt's mines from Vir-
glnla this morning did not arrive. They
or tomorrow.
The strikers were on the watch for
bnem all night and agreeably disappoint-

mine owners of WestmOrland county and
the operators of Central Pennsylvania is
