Ratchford at Columbus, asking if Satur-
day next would be agreeable to him for
meeting.
1t is believed that a conference will be
held ON Saturday, because just after the
session of operators had adjourned Col.
Rend received a telegram from his son,
Joseph, who is in Columbus, saying:
"Dolan says Saturday was selected for
conference. Executive board will be in
session tomorrow" 1t is inferred from
this that Ratchford had concluded to at
tend the conference.
In case of failure to bring about the
arbitration meeting, it was decided by the
operators at their meeting tonight to at
once begin preparations for starting their
mines with nOn-uniOn men.
The meeting adjourned until tomorrow
morning to give time for Mr.. Ratchford
to answer officially.

TURNED BACK BY DEPUTIES.
Marching Miners Found Their Way
MISUNDERSTANDING Work of
Women.

Pittsburg, Aug. 19.-The striking camp
ers at Plum creek and Turtle creek
marched again today, according to the pro-
gram arranged, in couples and 100 feet
apart. The deputies formed line across
the road and warned them back as fast
as each pair came up. Each side wanted
the other side to take the aggressive, but
both factions were wary and neither ad-
vanced beyond certain point. The strik-
ers then returned to camp: but few OF
them later managed to escape the depu-
ties and go among the miners in the con-
pany's house. 1t was decided to march
again tomorrow, but it is doubtful if the
striking miners will have any better sue
cess than they had today. The deputies
have been gradually closing i'll on the
camps and will continue to do so, j. :
said, until the men will not be allowed to
leave the camp. This will virtually place
them under arrest. The women are do
ing good missionary work, although they
did not march as anticipated. They are
still making it as uncomfortable Tor the
working miners and deputies as they know
how. If the attempt to pass the deputies
is successful in the morning, the women
