P1TTSBURG, Aug. AT lis this
| CMonday) morning, the strikers at
| Camp Determination were aroused and
| 500 men ordered to march to Sandy
Creek and 500 to Plum Creek mines.
The marches began with President Pat
rick Dolan heading the force going to
Sandy Creek. After proceeding a short
| distance, Dolan was served with a
writ charging him with riot and un-
| lawful assembly at the instance of
| Thomas P. De Armitt For a time
great excitement prevailed among the
marchers, but Dolan quieted them by
saying that he would be all right and
soon join them. He was then taken
back to the Justices office and the
marchers proceeded. Secretary War
| ner, Organizer Cameron Miller and
other leaders are included in the writ
A citizen of Turtle Creek stands ready
to furnish bail for Dolan, and it is
presumed he will be released. The Incl
dent has caused a very ugly feeling
among the strikers, and if the other
leaders included in the order of ar
rest should be stopped in their work,
decidedly vigorous action will likely be
taken at the big meeting this morning.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 1.-All roads
led to Turtle Creek today. Marching
miners from all over the district were
converging toward Camp Determina-
ton, and if all those reported as being
| on the march reach the scene before
| morning there will be at least 5000 dig
gers present at the big meeting, which
is scheduled for IL o'clock at McCrea's s
school house. The miners expect 5000
to be on hand.
The borough of Turtle Creek expert
| enced the liveliest day in its history
with Its large transient population of
miners and curious visitors, but the
day passed without trouble of any kind
Burgess Teats of the borough visited
the miners camp today, and said he had
no reason to order the crowd to dis
band. There was a complete shift in
the makeup of the campers today.
The men from the Wheeling division of
the Baltimore & Ohio, who have been
on guard ever since the big movement
against the De Armftt men was inaugu-
rated, left during last night for their
homes at Finleyville, Gastonv lie, Snow
den, Whitehall and Banksville. These
same men, after reaching home and re-
cuperating somewhat, have formed new
divisions and are returning to the seat
of war in order to attend the big meet
ing in the morning. While the old
guard was fitting last night, new men
were taking their places and took
charge of the watch that is to be>kept
up until all of the New York e. Cleve-
land men quit work.
Sheriff Lowry spent the afternoon in
| Turtle Creek consulting with his depu-
! ties. Chief Deputy James Richards
was in the district all night Sheriff
Lowry said that he would not interfere
with the strikers in holding meetings,
| II they acted orderly He will not al
| low them to go on the property Of the
| New York & Cleveland Gas Coal COM
pany, nor will he allow them to act
disorderly while marching on the road.
| T. B. De Armitt, manager of the Oak
| Hill mine, said today that he had been
| importuned by men for positions in the
| mine. He said he had given fifteen Of
| them places, and they would go to work
in the morning. He added that two
men had offered to supply him with
! L
| day morning. He was receiving letters
| in every mail from miners in various
! portions of the district, asking for
| places in the New York & Cleveland
mines. Concerning the action of some
of his men, he said they had come to
him, saying that they would be glad to
| work as soon as the excitement is over.
He was emphatic in the statement that
! If the old men did not return to work
! soon, he had many others who would
| take their places. Secretary Warner
says the miners officials have decided
! to bring an action in equity against
Sheriff Lowry, asking for an injunc-
ton restraining that official from eX-
! ecuting the provisions of the procla-
nation. He said the proclamation was
! in violation of law and they would go
! into court to have that point settled.
Il believe the proclamation is Illegal
| said Warner, "and we are going to
try and find out if the sheriff has a
right to interfere with peaceable
assembly"
FAIRMONT, w. Va, Aug. 1-"There
| Is a surprise in store for the operators
of this region" said John W. Rea to-
night. Inside of forty-eight hours there
will be several additions to those out"
There is more in Reas words than
many people think. He has been here
since last Wednesday and has had two
or three meetings each day. Not in
the usual way, but has quietly gone to
scme school hourse or public hall, and
| the miners have gathered there as If
by magic. This afternoon at Mononga-
| hela. the meeting was a repetition of
! the success at Palatine last night, and
| Catawaba yesterday afternoon. To-
morrow at Worthington, he will make a
speech to the men. Four more organic
ers will join Mr.. Rea and Ed Davis, his
