Debs Denounces a Judge.
Eugene V. Debs, who addressed the
large miners meeting on the Duqucsne
wharf at night, left Friday for Turtle
Creek, where he spoke in the evening.
Before leaving the city Mr.. Debs de-
nounced Judge jackson, of West Vir-
ginia, for issuing the injunction re-
straining him from interfering in any
way with the Monongah company or Its
employees. Mr.. Debs said:
''This Injunction restraints me from walk
ing on any Of the public highways leading
to the mines Of the Monongah Coal & Coke
company. It is most sweeping and none
other can be compared to 1t. The injunc-
semblage and effectually suppresses free
speech. II 1t is sustained, and have no
doubt 1t will be. It sweeps away all consti-
tutional safeguards and deliver us. bound
hand and foot, to the corporate capital.
II hold the injunction, and the Judge who
issued 1t, in supreme contempt. II / have
occasion to raise my voice In behalf Of the
furnishing miners in Jackson's Jurisdiction.
] propose to do 80, or at least make the
attempt. totally regardless of this in
famous injunction.
THE farce Of the proceeding is that the
injunction is issued by Judge. 1t ought
to come direct from the coal operators
and. at least, hypocrisy would not intensity
the infamy of the proceeding"
In reference to the charge that the
deputies now on guard at Dc Armit:s
mines were forcing miners to work at
the point of revolvers President Dolan
stated that the matter had been placed
in the hands of their attorney and it
was probable that the miners officials
would go into court and ask for an in
junction restraining these deputies.
Said he:
"They have no right to compel any man
to go to work, and we will not stand it.

Woman "Missionarics."
The coal company discovered new
sort of missionary work among its en-
ployes Friday. Wives of many Of the
Jumpers are now in the field. They
have been arriving for several days, I'M

about through the Plum, Sandy and
Turtle Creeks settlements. The women
gre from the Mcdonald, Carnegie and
Wheeling dariszon sections and while
the men ore at work do missionary
work among thelrwtpes. They have ac-
cess to the worknsen's houses, but the
men are denied this. Deputies are sta
toned oil along the property line with
instructions not to allow man to pass
into the house range.
The campers claim that the effect of
the female missionary work will be ap-
parent in day or 80. Many of the Plum,
Creek men are expected to join the
movement after pay day Monday. The
strikers say they would be out now, but
that they want to get as much money as
possible ahead, 80 as to have something

VIII Adopt Coxey's Plan.
The proposed campaign against the
mine owners of Westmoreland county
and the operators Of central Pennsyl-
vanda which has been delayed is now an
assured fact. The strike leaders de-
cided on it definitely at camp con-
ference Friday and big move will
probably be made next Wednesday.
The whole affair will be considerably on
the order Of the famous Coxey "com-
monweap tour. AS already constituted
the plans propose direct marcel,
through the whole territory where
mines are being operated, until Clear
Held county is reached. Camps will be
left at each of the De Armit mines at
Canonsburg, at Bunola and any other
place that may seem necessary to keep
the mines closed, which appears before
the crusaders leave. The leaders esti-
mate that with what will remain be-
hind In the camps at least 5000 men
will be kept constantly In the move
ment.
VIII Keep Pcaceable.
A military code for the government
OF the army will be formulated before
the movement is started. President
Dolan says that with any kind of a
system he will be able to keep every
thing quiet and the men peaceable. Eff
forts are being made to introduce beer
and whisky at Camp Determination by
outsiders. This has been going on TO,
two or three days, and some of ths
strikers had been taken down to Eas
Pittsburgh and Allied up on all the bee
they could drink. The danger of thi!
to the miners cause is fully realized by
the labor leaders and sharp lookout L
being kept to find out who is RESPONSE
BILE for the efforts to get the strikers in
toxicated.
Military ON the Alert.
Definite orders have been issued from
Harrisburg to local officers of the ma
tional guard Of Pennsylvania to hol
themselves in readiness for immediat
service. This order, which arrived Sc,
eral days ago is being complied with
the letter and the day and night address
Of each officer, together with the nun
Der Of the nearest telephone, has bee

these officers have expressed it as thei
opinion that the miners have behave
