DISARMING MINERS.
Officials Believe Trouble at Hanging Rock,
Ohio, Is Near the End

Ironton, Ohio. June 3.-A fusillade OF revolver
shots at midnight last night within the guard lines
at Hanging Rock caused instant action by two
guard patrols one under command OF Captain Bat
terson and the other commanded by Colonel
Thompson. The patrols moved without the knowl-
edge OF each other toward the sound OF the shoot
ing. Both patrols failed 10 find the man who did
the shooting. and when they met in the darkness
the parties would have fired into each other
but for Colonel Thompson's obeying a command
10 halt and make himself known.
Secretary Bishop OF the State Board OF Arbitra-
uon called conference between himself. Colonel
Thompson. Major Corn. Sheriff Payne Mayor
Farmer Marshal Woodbern and the iron company
and the local union headed by President Cameron
and National Vice President Hardin. Mr. Bishop
Gays the object OF the conference might be defeated
81 given publicity now. but he expected 10 be
ahled by this conference 10 take another step tow
ard ending the strike. Colonel Thompson is conf
dent that the troops will be recalled by Sunday.
The conference was fruitless, except that the
strike leaders consented TO assist in disarmng all
the strikers and acing the arms In the custody Of
the sheriff They went through the village and
asked FOR the surrender of all weapons Secretary
Bishop feels that with the surrender OF arms and
the agreement 10 abstain from violence the way
IS clear for peaceful settlement Of the trouble
