mines" sentiment, or any effort to get the
miners out. No missionary work is to be
attempted the demonstration is purely for
the purpose Of showing sympathy Tor the
strikers. The preparations for the event
have been carried on secretly, but the story
was given out tonight by one OF the prime
movers. He says the class OF men who VIII
compose the parade's has no fear Of Inter-
ference and will not disband at the command
of a few deputies.
Suits and counter Quits promise TO be one
OF the most prominent features OF the strike.
While the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company has been prosecuting its injunction
case the miners have been gathering mate
rial on which to bring suits. not alone for
wages but for trespass President Dolan
said this evening that as soon ao time al
forded the miners officials will bring action
against the officers Of the New York and
| Cleveland Gas Coal company. The question
| OF the strikers right to visit employees OF the
| company at their homes and plead with
| them and the right of deputies to interfere
| with a man when he Is walking on high
| way toward residence, even though he Is
| compelled 20 walk on the property OF the
company, will be looked into.
In the opinion of a number OF coal opera
! tors the uniformity agreement, admittedly
| a good thing, will not receive the support
| itn articles are said to warrant. canvass
| of operators shows that they are not rushing
| to the committee with signed agreements
! back and each one seems waiting to see
| what the other fellow intends to do. In
| quiry tends to show that only three firms
| have placed their signatures to the agree
| ment.
After a conference this evening between
| the sheriff and the strike leaders tHe latiel
| are convinced that the sheriff's latest or
ders pending the decision of the court ii
the injunction case, makes practically mar
tlal law. They understand that the strikers
may retain their camps, but cannot m7rct
nor do anything toward getting the De Ar
mitt men out. They cannot go abou: 1t
squads nor sngly If their mission is :"r any
thing but to attend to private businese
They cannot call on friend e he be loclret

There was another shooting near CAM
