SAYS WARDEN TOOK HIS FINE.
THE MAN WAS HUSTLED OFF To
THE ISLAND.

The Central Labor Union yesterday appointed a
committee to investigate a strange story told by
Delegate GOddu of the EXcavators' Union The
latter disappeared few days ago, and yesterday
his head covered with bandages and he looked
IL he had been wrestling with buzzsaw. He
declared that he had not only been set upon by a
gang of men and badly beaten. but also ar
rested and sent to BlackwelIs Island. He further
declared that although he fined s. in the
Centre-st. court he was not permitted TO pay the
fine, but hustled off the Island. He told
his story to the warden there. who accepted the
payment of the fine and released him
Goddu said that the Excavators' Union and the
Laborers' Union Protective Society at logger
heads because both of the organizations wanted
supply masOns labOrers TO tie firms compris-
ing the Mason Builders Association. GoddU de-
clared that he had an agreement with the assoca-
tion, and with it in his pocket he went TO the
building at Leonard and Church sts- TO put some
men of his union to work.
He declared he assaulted by lot of men
and hit on the head with brick. He called for
the police. and of the latter appeared and
arrested him and another man, but not the one
who threw the brick His injuries attended
the Hudson Street Hospital after which he
was taken TO court, where he was fined S5 but
could get nobody TO take the money.

days a quiet inquiry has been going on among
the strikers. with the object of finding how
many would return 20 work If assured Of pro-
lection. and it is understood that a large num-
her have been found who were from the first
opposed to the strike and are anxious to see its
end.
Instead OF attempting TO start several col
leries the plan OF the companies is TO mass all
the men they can obtain at mine, In the
hope that enough can be induced to work TO
keep one colliery in full operation. The fact that
nearly a thousand special officers have been
commissioned in this city in the last few days
and that several hundred more will be sworn in
tomorrow lends color to the assertion that work
will be resumed and that the special officers
will he put on duty at the colliery where the at
tempt is made TO preserve order and prevent
interference with the workmen.
WHERE WORK Is TO BEGIN.
The inquiries regarding the feeling Of the men
have not been made by company officials but

discovered by the union men and have been
ordered to stop, under pain of being boycotted.

DIR. MACARTHUR on PRAYER CHAIN.
SAYS THE ADVOCATES OF ARMY PROHIBITION
HAVE BEEN BLAsPHEMoUs

The Rev. Dr. Robert s Macarthur pastor of the
Calvary Baptist Church, in West Fifty-seventh-st-
preached there last night TO a large congregation.
His subject The Church. the Canteeu and the
PRAYER Chain He said in part:
One OF the incidental evils Of political prohibition
and of the prayer chain is that they have evoked
unpardonabe lutemPerance of speech on the part OF
their advocates. letter has been published iuGors-
ing the prayer chain and charging the divine Lord
with having made a great mistake in drinking wine
and having been guilty of setting AN example
which has proved a heritage of woe TO untold gem
erations." This language is simply basphemous.
II is equally uubeComing that President Mckinley
should be made the target OF abuse by political pro
hIbitionists. No President since the founding OF
the Government has had many great iuterra- =
tonal questions to settle. and no President has on
the whole managed such questions more wisely.
Why should any American be found willing to lend
his influence TO dishonor his President? Why
should any churChman or Churchwoman be ready
TO smirch the name of one of the noblest OF sons.

that the stories circulated about the miners being

The men have just grievances, and they have as
much right to the arbitration they demand as have

OPERATORS appears TO be a scheme to take unfair
advantage Of the miners"

Scranton. Penn. Sept. 3 CSpeciaD.-Many mass
meetings held throughout the coal districts
to-day but further than that there nothing to
indicate that the great strike was in progress The
arrival of the troops at Shenandoah has made It
unlikely that further trouble will occur in this

Issuing bulletins admonishing the miners be or

Everywhere the feeling against Sheriff Toole for
his action at Shenandoah is intense among the
miners who declare that there no ccasion
for ordering the deputies fire. IN speaking about
the trouble President Nichols OF District No.

Grand Master Frank T. Hawley and Grand

the National officers and committee OF Local
switchmen would go to New-York tomorrow
and on their return something definite would be
done. The purpose of their visit could not be

the non-union washery culm and save them
from the alternative of striking or refusing the
