LEADERS PLANS
PITTSBURG, Kan, August 6.-The
conference here today between the coal
operators and the executive boards of
the miners union was attended by rep
resentatives of ten of the fifteen COM
panies in the district. The operators
practically agreed to concede all of the
demands made by the miners except that
for sixty cents a ton, mine run, though
the representa- tives of several companies
were authorized to take no final action.
The proposed campaign against the
mine owners of Westmoreland county
and the operators of Central Pennsyl-
vania which has been delayed, is now
an assured fact. The strike leaders de-
cided on it definitely at a camp confer
ence today and big move will probably
be made next Wednesday. The whole
affair will be considerably on the order
of the famous Coxey "commonweap'
tour. The leaders estimate that, with
those who will remain behind in the
camps, at least 5000 men will be kept
constantly in the movement. An i'm
mense meeting numbering fully 10000
people gathered around the strikers
camp at Turtle Creek tonight. Eugene
v. Debs, Mrs. Jones and several local
speakers made addresses. Delegations
from all the surrounding country at
tended the meeting and the enthusiasm
Twas unusual. The Westinghouse en-
ployes from East Pittsburg, numbering
1900, the striking puddlers from Nc
Keesport attended, and large crowds
from Wilmerding, Pittsburg and ALLIE
gheny helped to swell the numbers. A
monster parade preceded the meeting,
farmers and citizens generally marching
with the strikers to show their sympa-
thy.
The strike situation tonight remains
practically unchanged. The imported
diggers for the Oak Hill mines have not
yet shown up. The usual march to Plum
Creek will be made in the early morn
ing.
EFFICIENT AID
JOLIET, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-The 1900 en-
ployes of the Joliet rolling mills have

Bells marchers are at Huntingburg to-

violence.
