SERIOUS TROUBLE

Serious Trouble Feared In the Louisville
Mining Region Unless Negroes are Dis
armed.
EVANSVILLE Ind, July 23.-The
striking miners held a big meeting at
the Central Labor Union hall this af-
ternoon and discussed the strike situa-
ton. After the meeting the head Of
the police department, Detective Fred
Brennocke and Sheriff Koepke, called
upon John Ingle and asked him to dis
arm his miners If he had assurance that
the striking miners would not carry
arms He said that while his men car
ried arms openly the strikers did not
display their weapons. National Com
mitteeman Fred Dilcher returned from
Jacksonville, Ohio, tonight and went at
once into conference with the striking
miners. He says he fears there will be
serious trouble if the negro miners are
not shortly disarmed.
