Departure of Negroes from Pana. ILL.,
Wages Increased i'm Several
Large Iron Plants.

FORT SMITH, Ark, March 1.-E. A.
Peck. general superintendent of the Iron
Mountain Railroad. went up the valley into
the Indian Territory to-day. He says the
strike of the coal miners will in no wise
affect his road, excepting only the hauling
of the coal. The miners are out at RUSSELL
vile, Ouita, Spadra, Coal Hill and Dem
ming, and stand IN crowds at the stations
when the trains pass. They are orderly and
cheerful. At Jenny Limo there is said TO be
a strong opposition to the strike, and
though the miners failed to go to work
there this morning Ii is not believed they
will remain out long. 1t is alleged by the
operators that three-fourths of the miners
at Jenny Lind are opposed to the strike.
At Huntington the miners are all out, and
some of them are drinking freely. The
negroes of this city will use their influence
to prevent the importation of negroes to
take the places of the miners.
SOUTH MALESTER, /. T., March l.
The strike situation has changed little
since yesterday. The Lehigh and Coal Gate
mines are reported as having shut down.
The Krebs mines worked to-day with a
reduced force. Another mass meeting has
been called for tonight, the meeting last
night not having accomplished the results
desired by the union. The krebs miners
say that they do not want TO strike, and
will not unless forced to by the union. All
of the mines on the line of the Choctaw,
Oklahoma & Gulf Railway worked to-day,
several union miners joining the nonunion
forces. An attempt will be made by the
operators to start up in the morning. To-
morrow will undoubtedly decide whether
or not there will be a general strike.
PANA. ILL.,, March 1.-The departure of
100 negro miners and their families this
evening for McAlester and Hartshorn, l.
T., attracted several hundred people to the
union depot who displayed great enthus-
iasm over the departure of the blacks. Ii
is expected in case the present consignment
of negroes land safely at their destination,
fully two-thirds of the negroes now here
will leave next week for the southwest.
