PITTSBURGH. Pa, Aug. 16-To-day
was fraught with exciting Incidents in
matters pertaining to the miners strike,
Mutlny in the strikers camp, murder
in the deputies ranks, filing OF criminal
and civil suits against the DeArmitts
and the hearing Of the injunction case
against President Dolan and others kept
both sides to the struggle busy and on
the qul vive all day long.
The hearing In the injunction case be-
fore Judges Stowe and Collier was per-
haps one of the most important and in
terestlng ever held in Pennsylvania
court. 1t was hearing In which both
capital and the rights OF labor we're in
terested, and the decision is expected to
have telling effect on the conduct OF
the great coal strike which has been on
since July g.
From the testimony adduced and
from the expressions of the court, II can
safely be said that there will be some
surprises. That the injunction viii bO
materially modified there can be no
doubt, which on It's face would indicate
victory for the striking miners,
The preliminary decree has been con-
tinued pending a consultation OF the
judges and an opinion will probably be
handed down by noon tomorrow.
Judge Collier said In court to-day that
the strike would go down In history as
one OF the wonders OF the century and
remarkable on account Of the utter lack
| OF disorder for which the strikers are
commended and have the sympathy of
the court. Said he; "There can be no
question as to what our duty Is under
all the testimony, but am somewhat In
doubt as 90 whether or not the order
should be modified We cannot deter
mine this without a consultation"
Judge Stowe said this evening: This
injunction will not Justify the Issuing
! Of an attachment against any marchers
who are not found in company with the
men named in the injunction.
He let II be understood thnt the In
junction ig not so sweeping as has been
| thought, that only the five men named
| In the wrlt-PatrlCk Dolnn. William
Warner, Cameron Miller, Urlah Belllng-
ham and Edward McKay-are restrain
