'— PHISES OF THE STRIKE A Sweeping Injunction Issued Against the Organizers. MONONGAHTEOPLE GOT IT. The De Armitt Mines Still Continue the Center of Interest—Pickets In an AW- ful .Storni—Preparing to March In Several Places. Pittsburg, Aug. 6.—Consternation was caused in the miners’ camp by a terrific wind and electrical storm which passed over the Turtle Creek valley, doing a great deal of damage. At Sandy Creek a. tree in the yard of the Jefferson schoolhouse under which was a group of the striking miners who are in camp at that place, keeping a watch on the De Armitt mines, was struck by a bolt and shattered into match wood splint- ers. Two of the men, Vincent Coffic, from the Essen mine No. 3, and George Sedwick, from the Moon Run district. were shocked into insensibility. Their condition is still critical, Six others were also shocked and badly frightened, but soon recovered. The occurrence caused the wildest ex- citement among the striking miners. The storm came upon them without warning, and there was a wild scurry for shelter, of which there was none at all except that afforded by their one small tent and the trees. As soon as it was seen that two of the men were in a serious condition several of their com- rades were dispatched for medicalasi sistance, while others carried the two stricken men into a nearby farmhouse, where they were later attended by Dr. Wilson of Rodi. When the storm came up, many of the strikers, forgetting that they were going on to company property and into the company of deputy sheriffs, took refuge in De Armitt’s stables, where the deputies are quartered. They were not discovered until the storm had passed, and they were im- mediately ordered away. To March on \Vestmoreland Mines. The strikers are preparing to march on the mines operating in 'Westmore- land county and central Pennsylvania. An advance guard will probably start for Irwin, where a camp will be estab— lished. Other bodies will follow, the advance guard simply being a silent notification that the men are coming. By the first of next week, when the strike leaders say they expect to have all the New York and Cleveland com- pany’s mines closed tight, the strikers at Turtle Creek, Plum Creek and Sandy Creek will move on into the VVestmore- land field and locate camps at the dif- ferent mines there. All of theWestmoreland county mines are running, and it is to stop the put- ting of coal into the Pittsburg market from these mines that tlie‘move is con— templated. . The managers ofithe IVestmoreland Coal company state they will not en- join the strikers, but are ready for them. They will be treated as trespass- ers. The men at work for the Penn Gas Coal company are in the same position, and the company will use the same tac- tics. . If the strikers are successful in cans- ing a suspension of work at the VVest- moreland mines, the march to the cen- tral Pennsylvania fields will be taken up. The miners in this district are in sympathy with the movement, and at a convention of Clearfield and Jefferson county miners the strike leaders were requested to give some attention to central Pennsylvania. with a view of holding a general convention of all miners shipping coal to the eastern sea— board. The strilv'crs are jubilant over their success at De Armitt’s mine. The to— tal output yesterday was 18 gondola cars. Superintendent De Armitt says the Plum Creek output on Tuesday was 30 cars, 10 more than the mine was giv- en credit for by the strikers. Colonel A. E. McCandicss, su'rgcr-n in chief of the Pennsylvania national guard, and Colonel A. J. Logan. quartermaster general on the staff of Governor Hast— ings. were in Turtle CIV'PIC today. It is said that they were looking for a suita— ble site for camp in case the troops should be called out. Deb". and Others Enjoined. Parkersl‘iurg, NY. Va... Aug. 6.—T7pon the application of James Sloan. .Tr.. of Baltimore, a stockholder in thc Monon- gah Coke and Coal company, made by Bx—Govc—rnor Fleming. h's counsel, Judge Jackson, in the ‘United States court, has granted an injunction restraining Eugene V. Debs and his associates from interfering in any way with or molest— ing the management of the property of the Monongah Coal company or its em— ployees, either by trespassing upon the property of the company or approach— ing thereto, or inciting its employees to strike, or interfering in any manner whatever, either by word or deed, in the company’s affairs. The text of the writ covers everything that can possi- bly be construed into an infringement of rights of the corporation and practi- cally prevents all future agitation in the vicinity of the Monongah mines. To Stop Kentucky Mines. Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 6.—President Knight of the Indiana district of the United Mine Workers has left for Earl- ington, Ky., where are situated the St. Bernard company’s mines, employing 1,000 men and from which much coal has been shipped through Indiana for Chicago. He and other organizers will try to stop the production in Kentucky. The marchers who started for the mines in the southern part of the state met with strong opposition at Littles, where the 70 men voted almost unani- mously to continue work. The strikers announced. that the workers would be forced out. Marchers In Indiana.

THE KLONDIKE GRAZB. Another Line of Steamers Organized For the Alaskan Service. Tacoma, Aug. 6.—-‘—Dodwe11, Carlisle 8' Co. of Hongkong and a number of Ta- coma capitalists have organized a steamship company, with headquarters at Tacoma, to compete for the Alaskan trade.

One of these companies intend- ed sending ten representatives, each in— sured for $10,000, giving each man $1,000 besides money for contingent expenses, all of them to co-operate in the search for gold, dividing equally with the company, and in case of death the in- surance money to be paid to the com- pany. By each death the company stood to win $8,500, on the basis that not _ more than $1,500 would be spent on each representative. Another company sim— ply designed to carry sufficient insur- rnce to reimburse for actual outlay. It Is not thought that any of these com- panies will proceed further with the or- ganization. HAWAII’S LABOR PROBLEM. The Coming Exclusion of Chinese Contract \Vorknien FI'ODI Europe. San Francisco, Aug. 6.—The news that Hawaii had virtually excluded Chinese laborers, with the intention of bringing in negroes, is confirmed by Honolulu advices, brought by the steamer Aus— tralian. When the annexation propo- sition was made to the United States, one of the principal clauses was that Chinese immigration should cease. As a start in this direction, the Hawaiian government has decided to issue no more six months’ residence permits to Chinese or to execute any bonds for contract laborers to arrive. The German ship H. F. Glade arrived in-I—Ionolulu on July 26 with nearly 200 contract laborers. They will supplant the Japanese on the sugar plantations. This crowd consisted of 115 laborers, 25 women and 47 children. The nationali- ties are mixed, there being many Poles and Austrians as well as Germans. These laborers will be placed on nine different plantations, the contracts showing that the men are to be paid $16 a. month the first year, $17 the sec- ond and $18 the third, in addition to the regular food and lodging given by the plantations.
