UNITED MINE WORKERS BY
v. s. JUDGE.

PHILIPPI, Oct. 25.-Judge Dayton
yesterday issued sweeping ,injunc.
ton against the United Mine Workers
of America, restraining the leaders or
any OF their lieutenants from, entering
upon the grounds owned by the Rich.
land Coal Company. and several others
to organize the miners.
The temporary injunction was issued
at the instance of Attorney Geo. R. E.
Gilkirk, who appeared for the compa.
MES. This Injunction restrains John
Mitchell. president, and Thomas L..
Lewis, vice president, and their lieu.
tenants from making any attempt to
organize the miners in the Northern
Panhandle of the State.
The injunction is one of the most
sweeping ever granted by any court
in the United States. and will'doubtless
be strongly resisted by the mine
workers. It will come up for argument
at Parkcrsburg in about month.

DERRICK FELL
AND CHARLES HESS HAD MOST
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM
DEATH.

. MANNINGTON, Oct. 25. = What
came near proving to be fatal acci.
dent happened at an abandoned oil
well owned by Mrs. Craker and located
near the glass factory about 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning. Some time ago
the casing in the well was sold to
some junk dealers and Mrs. Craker
employed some men and three teams
owned by P. T. and Charles Hess to
remove the derrick.
While the men were chopping down
the derrick 1t suddenly broken off
about 20 feet from the ground and fell
backwards into the county road and
lighted on wagon which was being
driven by Charles Hess. The derrick
knocked down both horses and 1t had
to be chopped to pieces in order to re
lease them. How Mr.. Hess escaped Is
miracle and had the derrick have
struck him he surely would have been
killed. t5{yi
In falling the derrick tore down the
trolley wire of the Warrington Light
and Power Co., and the telephone
wires Of both the Bell and Consolidated
companies, thus severing all communl.
cation with Fairmont.
The trolley wire struck the second
team which was being driven by Lock
Gump and one of the horses was bad.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Oct. 25.-The
first step in! the impending war be.
tween the miners and operators OF
America was taken to-day. Vice Pres.
ident T. D. Lewis. presiding as execu.
tive OF the board OF the United Mine
Workers decided to have officers of

ci,lc whether m interstate convention
for the purpose of making new scale
shall be held in Jarunry. In March,

ure of the miners anil operators to
get together. Afterwarl through John
Mitchell a two year agreements was
made but 1t did not mean "a restorn-
tion of the interstate agreement. A
new agreement will have to be made.
Yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Lewis
made the following statement. when
informed Of the Injunction granted by
Judge Dayton against the Pan Handle
organizers of his organization:
$50 far as the injunction of Judge
Dayton is concerned. am not IA.
niliar with It's contents and for that
reason am not prcparcd to give my
definite opinion as 70 It's merits.
81 understand that the purpose of
the injunction is to prevent the or
ganizatlon OF the mine workers Of the
Panhandle district. II this is the real
object I believe that can convince
Judge Dayton or any other jurist In
personal conversation that the iniunc.
tion, while 1t has temporary effect,
has never yet accomplished the pur-
pose for which It was intended-pre.
venting men from associating for their
mutual protection.
81 am an American citizen and
believer in the strict enforcement OF
laws. When injunctions are issued,
