500 SOLDIERS DIsARMED

scene probably unique in the annals of the United States army was enacted at Camp Logan during the afternoon when the 500 soldiers of the battalion of the Twentyfourth negro infantry were disarmed
 Thanked by a full battalion of the Nine teenth infantry, under Col Willard r. Waltz, and three companies of the coast artillery from Fort Crockett, the negro soldiers were marched four abreast to the parade grounds, where their arms were stacked. Army trucks then loaded the rifles and ammunition and conveyed them to the camp storehouse, where they were placed under heavy guard.
 Surrounded by his own men with loaded rieHs, Colonel Waltz then addressed the negroes, telling them they would be re- quired to stay in camp and would be protected from violence, and that at the same time they would be prevented from committing further violence.
 This order, it is said, will remain in effect until the negroes are entrained to return to Columbus, N. NJ, which action Is expected at any hour.

NEGROES MUTILATE BODIES

Indignation over the outbreak was par ticularly expressed because of the saw ageness displayed by the negroes toward the white police officers who were slain and whose bodies in nearly every in stance had been hacked with bayonets. Among the Illinois guardsmen also much feeling was evident because of the mu- tilation of Captain Joseph Mates, one of the first to be slain by the rioters
 Because of this feeling, General Hu- len at noon ordered the public morgues in which the bodies were held to close their doors to all except immediate rel atves of the victims.

Sixty Small Operators Rec Ognize Union and Grant
 Eight-Hour Day
AGREEMENT RESULTS
 IN 4OOO GOING TO WORK
Question of Wage Scale Is Left Open Until Another Conference-Asso- citation Members Remain
 Firm in Stand

Knoxville, Tenn, August 24.-Con- ferences here Friday between repre- sentatives of District No. 19, United Mine Workers of America, and more than 60 coal operators of the Ken lucky Tennessee fields, resulted in the signing of agreements recognizing the niners' union and granting the eight hour work day, instead of nine, and the decision to postpone any efforts for the present to adjust new wage scaic
 It was decided to hold another con- ference not later than September l5. Both sides agreed that to sign a wage scale at this time. with the members of the Southern Appalachian Coal Op~ orators association not represented, would be unfair to the miners and to the operators concerned in the negoti- ations.
 EMPLOY 4000 MEN
 The mine owners signing the agree ment with the union are employers from two to three to 125 men Alto gether as a result of the agreement more than 1000 men will return to work at once. Little hope is expressed by the union representatives who at tended the conference Friday that the operators of the Southern Appalachian Coal Operators association will con- duct negotiations with the miners union as an organization in the near future
 AMONG MINES REPRESENTED
 Among the mines represented at the conferences, which were held in the assembly hall of the Hotel Atkin, were the Kimberly, Chaska, Morley and Wind mines, in the district lying be : tween Jellico and LaFollette, the Re- gina at Newcomb and the main Jellico Mountain company at Kensee
 Representing District No. 19. United Mine Workers of America, were Van Bittner, of the miners wage scale com mittee; T. J. Smith, president of the union; Thomas M Gam, secretary; Phil Lynch, vice president; William Feeney, George Edmonds, Davis Robb, Sydney Jones and John J. Jeffrey, organizers of the international union.
 The operators were committed to ali increase in wages, but to what extent this would be, neither side was willing to hazard a guess. The miners contend that, while better coal is mined in the Kentucky-Tennesse fields, the scale of the miners and the wages of those working by the day is lower than in other fields.
 SCALE VARIES
 The miners scale, it is said, varies in the KentuckyT Tennessee field from 25 to 75 cents a ton, while in other fields, where mining conditions are nearer those in the Kentucky -Tennes- see fields, miners received about 90 cents. There was a difference also of from s1 to s2 for other forms of labor at the mines against the men in the strike region. a member of the union stated Friday.
 Reports were current Friday among the miners that an attempt to break the strike would be made the first of next week in the Harlan field by in- ducing members of the union to return to their places in the mines of the Appalachian Coal Operators associa- tion

Risley Young, another private of Com pany I, attached the major portion of the blame for the outbreak to Sergeant Hen ry, saying the sergeant had threatened to kill any who did not follow him.
