they were under arrest, but they knew that
they had done something. for which they

Harold Currens, living on Mulberry street.

women were arrested for marching at the
Plum Creek mines this morning by sheriff S
deputies The attempt to make the arrests
precipitated an incipient riot, in which the
deputies Jared badly. No one was seriously
hurt but scarcely a deputy escaped
clubbing and Superintendent Samuel De
Armitt was cut on the head. Two of the
women arrested carried babies. The riot
was the result of carefully planned at

twenty-five women and about fifty strikers
concerned in it. The plan was to have the
women march in front with their babies
with the design of working on the senti-
ments of the men who would be going TO
work and to act as a shield for the rest of
the party The women were to crowd
around each man as he attempted to go in
the mine, take his dinner bucket from him
and throw it into the ditch. About daylight
the party started out. headed by Emma
Haas. Those not having baby carried

the Murrayville road they encountered a

the camp. No attention was paid to the
order, and the party tried to force It's way

other women who were in the lead were ar

After the removal of the prisoners from

The reason more of the women were not
arrested was that four or five deputies
were required to hold one of Them and the
force was not large enough to take charge
of the crowd.

MINERS MAY SPLIT.
RatchfOrd and others Disguised with
AfTairs-Re ptiOn of Work.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept 13.-The national
bituminous coal miners strike of 1897 will
probably be the last of the kind for the
present generation, and hereafter the diff
ficulties arising through wage disputes will
likely be settled by States and districts,
and a revolution may be expected in differ
entails favoring other States, as the Pitts
burg miners have had their eyes opened.
NJ. D. Ratchford, national president, and
Patrick Dolan, district president both ex-
pressed themselves privately that they We're
thoroughly Disguised at the actions of the
delegates from Illinois and Virginia, and
the cupidity of some of the Ohio delegates,
who wished to continue the strike.
Tonight President Dolan met in confer
ence with the original committee of seven
representing the Big Thirteen" lake
shippers After the meeting Mr. Dolan said
he had told the operators that the ten-day
clause in the Columbus settlement was
farce and that he would not interfere in
any way with any miners who wished to
return to work tomorrow or any other
day before the ten days had expired.
1t is the operators intention to make a
concerted effort to have the PittSburg min
ers in a body secede from the national or
ganization and form an association for this
district alone. The facts concerning the
Columbus convention will be laid before the
delegates to the convention Wednesday,
and it is believed the whole district will
be running in full by Thursday morning.
The machine cutters at the Darr mine of
Osborne & Saeger went to work this morn
ing, and the men resumed at the Jumbo
No. l mine of the Robbins Coal Company.
The miners of the Eclipse, Anderson, Hack
EFT, Nottingham and Germany, the
Wheeling division, also met to-day, and
after hearing a report from the delegates
to Columbus decided to ignore the ten-days
clause and to resume work in the morning.
j. j. O'Neil received word from the men
at the Webster mine yesterday that they
would resume in the morning. The miners
in the vicinity of Mcdonald also decided to
get into the pits, and it is believed chat by
Thursday the miners will have generally
resumed The men at Osceola mine will
also be at work in the morning. Meetings
We're held to-day all over the district, and,
in anticipation of a general resumption,
the operators have everything in readiness
for the diggerS to begin work at a mo-
mentS notice.

basis of the Columbus agreement. The OPP
orators of southern Indiana are understood
to be willing to sign contract to pay the
fifty-six-cent price, the differential on the
basis of 65 cents for Pittsburg, but there
is doubt about the operators of northern
Indiana. Some Of these latter will try to-
morrow TO get their men to return to work
at Sc cents with the understanding that If
Grape Greek or other Illinois fields, whose
coal is sold in Chicago in competition with
the Indiana product, pay a less price the
Indiana miners are to accept a correspond
ing reduction. The miners officials will en-
deavor to prevent this being done. Word
has been sent to all fields tonight warning
the men not to go to work until after the
convention on Thursday. President knight
says he is hopeful that the operators in the
Columbus settlement, and, this being so,
the Indiana operators will have no excuse
for refusing to enter into the agreement.
The block coal miners will go TO work at
once at Sc cents, their differential price.
