WHEELING. W. VA, Aug. 6..-While
the inactivity of the coal-strike leaders in
West Virginia has been attributed to the
Columbus conferences of the labor leaders,
where plans are being laid to prosecute
the work here, the iniuactions issued by
Judge Mason of the Marion Circuit Court
and Judge Jackson of tho United States
District Court are the real cause. Both
iniunctions are intended to prevent the
agitators from entering the Monongah
field. The Intervention of the United
States court is sought because the Gov
eminent will have more weight than the
State should clash occur. The perma-
nency OF the Federal in junction will not
be determined until September 20. when
arguments will be heard Meantime it is
IN full force and effect, enjoining Deos
and associates from speaking on the
strikes in and about the Monongah mines.
They are not permitted TO intercept
miners on their way to or from work;
they cannot speak on any public highways
leading TO the mines; lastly, they are or
dered to hold no public or private meet
ings whatsoever in the neighborhood of
the m ines. While it does not hinder the
prosecution of strike missionary work in
other parts of the State it affects the seat
of war in West Virginia which is prac-
tically the same in effect. Should trouble
occur all the employees of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railway will be brought against
the strikers as deputy marshals, as the
road is in the hands of the Federal courts.
Since the injunction went into effect yes
terdav none OF the various unions organ
IN crrjEors taL
active part in the fight.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 6.-The Bunola
coal-miners, who left the strikers two
weeks ago and returned to work have
struck again. They promised not to go
back to the mine until the strike has been
settled. a camp has been esta bl she'd
s milar to those at the De Armitt mines.
a hundred strikers from other places have
settled down there to remind the Bunola
miners OF their promise. A commissary
department is IN operati From il the
camp and families of the poorer BunoIa
miners will be fed.
Over at De .Armitts mines the situation
has settled down to watchfulness on the
part of the strikers and determination on
the part of the company. The sIrikers try
10 intercept men when they go TO work,
and the company's representatives and
deputy sheriffs try to convey employees 10
the various pits. Sometimes the deputies
escort The miners, and sometimes the COM
pany has them driven in vehicles.
Debs addressed a big meeting at Turtle
Greek tonight. A delegation of striking
puddlers from McKeesport attended and
brought cash contribution. Patrick
DoJan says by Monday all of De Armitt's
mines will be shut down tight. The
strikers will then march on the mines of
the Westmoreland and Pennsylvania Gas

invasion OF the Westmoreland, Cleartied
and Cam bria coal fields

that 200O strikers will start tonight with
the object OF tying up all the mines sup
plying coal for the Atlantic seaboard.
The recent cause of the troubles at the
Cambria and Clearfeld regions have I'M
settled the miners, and it is feared it will
require but little persuasion to get them
to strike.
A mass-me citing of strikers was held at
Galltzin to-day in the hope of inducing
theno n-uaion men to strike. Forty men
are reported to have joined the strikers.
CLEV ELAND. OHIO, Aug. 6-Before
leaving this mo rnrng John Grosvenor
who has been in conference with Major
Dick, was asked if he believed the coal
strike would effect Hanpa's Senatorial
candidacy untavorabiy. Il do not think
it will, ;" he said, because Hanna has al
ways been a liberal employer. He is
ANXIOUS to-day TO de all that is
claimed by the miners"
