day, the engine having been shut down,
the air was as pure in this as in any
other mine in the State. Louis Bow
man and Jesse Yunkins, two miners of
the bank, entered into a conspiracy
betweenthemselves and were overheard
by a fellow workman. They said that
they had gotten the Squire in a hole,
just where they wanted him, and that
they would send for the mine inspector
at Fairmont to come and close down
the mines, and that if he did not come
they would report him to the Cover
nor. To clear the man who carried
the report, | will state that he told me
that if | had not been confined to my
home i'll and unable to go into the
mines, he would not have told me, but
he did not wish those men to take
advantage of me. | notified Bowman
and Yunkins On Thursday about ten
o'clock that they were discharged. The
two men then called a meeting in the
mines, after asking me the cause of
their discharge, and the men without q
moments notice struck until such a
time when the discharged men have
been reinstated. The committee came
to me, asking me to reinstate Bow
nan and Yunkins, but l refused. At

The strike has caused a shut down
of the plate mill and pudding depart
ment at the steel plant for the present.
However, these departments will be
operated again in a short time, as coal
will be shipped to the works
from FairmOnt. The steel department
closes down to-day for the purpose of
taking stock and general repairs, as
has been mentioned, and this will
lessen the supply of mineral necessary
for operation to a considerable extent.
The men stand firm in their decision
and will remain out until some adjust
ment has been made.

Yesterday morning shortly after z
O'Clock quite a serious accident occur
red at the Riverside mill at Benwood,
of which tie victims were John Camp
bell, of Bellaire, and Harry Barkhurst,
of Benwood.
At the time mentioned both men
were engaged in tearing away the
~scaffolding from the brick wall which
had recently been put up. Direct
ly beneath the section of the scaffold
upon which the men were standing
was a large pile of bricks and other
debris which had collected while the
work Of the was going on.
Without a moments notice the scat
folding gave way and the two lei
were precipitated to the ground, a dis
lance of about twenty feet, alighting
among the debris. Campbell had both
ankles broken and received a bad
wound in the scalp and several bruises
on the left side of the chest, while
Barkhurst was more fortunate, escap-
ing with a few bruises on his left hip.
The latter was able to walk, with the
assistance of a couple of his fellow
workmen, to his boarding quarters, the
residence of c. Grimm, at Benwood.
Campbell was rendered unconscious by
the fall, and was conveyed to the Of
flee of DR.. J. c. Mcdonald at BeGwood,
where he received the necessary med
ical aid, and later was removed to his
home on South Union street at Bell
aire. Last evening Campbell was still
lying in an unconscious condition. Dr..
Mcdonald stated last evening that his
wounds are of a very serious nature,
the scalp wound having caused the
skull bone to be bruised to a con-
siderable extent, while there are fears
that he has been injured internally.
However, it is the opinion that if it
develops that internal injuries were
not sustained, there win be hopes of
his recovery. Barkhurst is being at
tended by DR.. Mcdonald also. His in
juries, though very painful, are not
serious, but will necessitate his being
off duty for some time to come. Both
men have been in the employ of the
Riverside for some time past. Camp

THE MINERS, STRIKE.

The Inauguration of a strike at the
coal mines of the Wheeling steel plant
at BenwoOd on Thursday about noon,
is causing considerable comment
among people generally who are inter-
ested in industrial matters. The strike
brought about in a which is to
be regretted, considering the state
ments of those concerned.
In an interview with some Of the
coal miners yesterday, it was learned
that the men struck on account of the
refusal of the manager of the bank,
Squire Henry Riddle, to reinstate two
men, Louis Bowman and Jesse Yum
klns, whom he discharged Thursday
morning. The reason for their dis
charge, as one miner stated yesterday,
was a conversation which they had to-
gether concerning the impure condi-
ton of the atmosphere in the mines
and which was overheard by a third
party, one of the miners, who CON-
municated it to Manager Henry Rid
die. The miners Immediately, on
learning that the two men had been
dismissed, held a meeting at the mines
at loon Thursday. The meeting was
in session quite a while, during which
time interviews were had with the
manager by the discharged men and
the miners committee, composed of
William Parker and Robert Cochran.
These interviews failing to change the
decision of the management, the men
decided by unanimous vote to strike
until the two men were reinstated.
Every man voted but the one who COM
municated with Mr.. Riddle. There is
not one of the miners who does not
maintain that the report given to Mr..
Riddle was false.
1t is said to be a fact that
the air has been impure for
several days in the mines, and
in consequence a number of the
men were compelled to quit work and
go home, being troubled with vomit-
ing. The substance of the converse
ton between Bowman and Yunkins
was to the effect that the condition of
the air in the mines was intolerable
and ought to be investigated by the
State mine inspector, according to the
mems statements.
The following statement was given
cut yesterday by Mr.. Riddle: In the
first place, We have a gasoline engine
il the mines pumping water. Last
Monday and Tuesday we undertook to
run this engine day and night, and the
exhaust of the gasoline engine became
mixed with the air that was being
furnished TO the men, which would
naturally cause the air to be somewhat
impure. the men sent their commit
tee TO me on Tuesday afternoon. as l
could not be at the mines owing to
illness. The committee complained of
the air mixed with the gasoline be-
ing very d~isagreeable. l then promis-
ed the committee 10 close Down the
engine on day turn, and if necessary,
would close it down altogether, which
was satisfactory to the committee and
