women. the wives and daughters Of ;he men who
are still at work In the Plum Creek mine, were
present. Notwithstanding the fact that deputies

OF the many restrictions put on the strikers they
have hitherto been unable 10 ge. chance to argue
their with tho Plum Creek workmen and the
occasion to-day was taken advantage of to the full.
The unusual opportunity to-day was the result
Of the missionary work of the wives of the strikers
from Mcdonald. Finleyville and Carnegie. These
women have been working assduously during the
last week. and have secured the promise Of the
wives of the working miners to attend the meet
Ing and bring their husbands The result OF the
meeting was the assurance from nearly n hundred
men that they would join the strikers tomorrow
The plan Is for the men TO work until they receive
II air twenty days pay tomorrow. and then they
to desert the pit. leaving only eight days
cages back. which judging by the action OF the
company in the case OF the Sandy Creek strikers
yesterday will be refused If this plan does not
miscarry the strikers think It will only be ques
ton of a short time until the De Armt mines are
tied up completely.
The meeting to-day began with religious services
conducted by the Rev. Lincoln Lash. assisted by a
choir Of twenty colored jubilee singers. after which
Mrs. Mary Jones' the Chicago agitator. spoke for
about an hour putting the case plainly 20 her
women auditors. She placed the responsibility for
the success or failure Of the strike on the wives ana
