The Striking Miners From Ohio March
Into West Virginia. .
N 0 DISTURBANCB REPORTED.
Attempt to Close the Boggs Rnn_Mine.
Operators Seem to Be \Vaiting—La-
bor Leaders ConSideI-lng the
Matter of Testing Injunctions.
Wheeling, Aug. 11.——VVest Virginia
was peacefully invaded by striking
miners from Ohio at an early hour to-
day. One hundred and twenty-seven
miners from the Wheeling Creek region
across the river marched through the
city to the Boggs Run mines, just be-
lOw Wheeling. The Ohio men came for
the purpose of closing down the Boggs
Run mine, the only railroad mine in the
Wheeling district now operated. They
announced that they would stay until
Boggs Run joins the strike, and later
today 200 more men from Barton, May-
nard and Pascoe, other mining commu-
nities in eastern Ohio, joined the Wheel-
ing Creek men at Boggs‘ Run. The men
from the mining towns along theWheel-
ing and Lake Erie have also announced
their willingness to participate in this
demonstration, which may last several
days. With the West Virginia strikers
gathering at Boggs Run, there are now
about 400 men there. In the face of this
showing of force the 100 Boggs Run
miners did not show themselves. Eight
or ten men came to work, but nobody
had the courage to enter the mine. A
meeting will probably be held, but it
Will be difficult to get the men at this
plant out. The campers are provisioned
from the Wheeling Miners’ Aid store
and are prepared to make a long stay.
At a. meeting of the Peddling banks
miners of Bellaire a motion to shut
down was passed with some opposition.
If the Peddling banks are shut down, it
will throw 2,000 men out of employment
at and near Bellaire, for some of these
banks supply fuel to the manufactories
of that place.
Railroad Men Condemned.
Huntington, W. Va., Aug. 11.—Strik-
ing miners from Ohio and West Virgin-
ia have passed resolutions condemning
the Norfolk and Western railroad offic-
ials for hauling coal from West Vir-
ginia fields. The railway has had an
extra force of watchmen placed at
every bridge and trestle on the line.
To Test Injunctions.
Columbus, 0., Aug. 11.—President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor and several other prominent
labor leaders are expected here to con-
fer with President Ratchford of the
United Mine Workers with regard to
testing the injunctions issued against
the labpr leaders in W'est Virginia.
President Ratchford has received ad-
vices of an encouraging nature from
West Virginia and Kansas. Two more
organizers are to be sent to West Vir-
ginia at once. ’
In the Pittsburg District.
Pittsburg, Aug. 11.———There is a. grow-
ing feeling of apprehension among coal
operators that the prolonging of the
strike for a few more weeks will prove
bad for the lake shippers. It is cited
that when the miners shall have re-‘
’ turned to .work there will be such a de-
' , work up the' matter, and by Jan. 1 they
mand for coal for lake shipments that
cars will,not be obtainable to rush it
through for shipment before lake insur-
ance rates advance, which occurs near
the time for rough weather on the lakes
and greater risks of cargoes. At pres-
ent lake freight rates are low, and ves-
sels are moored at all the shipping
points waiting for cargoes up. When
coal again goes forward to the docks,
it is feared that the demand for vessels
will be so great that time will be lost
in taking on cargo because of the lim-
itations at the docks to moor vessels
while loading-and at the upper ports
while unloading.
Nothing has been done by the local
operators looking to a settlement of the
strike. They explain this by saying the
miners’ demands are impossible to com-
ply witb, and until they are modified
there is no use of talking about a set—
tlement. Contracts are said to have
been taken for all of this year at a low
specific price, waiving the customary
clauses which make the price so _much
above the mining rate. Most of the
lake coal contracts are said to have
been made without this clause this
year, and operators say that to jump
the cost of mining to the point demand—
ed by the miners, or any near approach
to it, would mean that the sheriff
would become an important person in
their business.
They say they are doing nothing re-
garding the settlement of the strike,
but trying to get the uniformity agree-
ment into operation. They maintain
that the adoption of this agreement of-
fers the only hope of improvement in’
the condition of the miners or an en-
largement of their earnings next year
and following years, and any rate above
50 cents for the remainder of this year
is imp_gssibl__’. (E .. --.,,

“ There are no new developments in the
coal operators’ arbitration movement.
A Mpg of the committee was to
have liked held, but so many' of the
members are out of town that it had to
'be postponed. General‘John Little says
he hopes to get the committee together
as soon as possible, II; he is not cer-
tain when all its me, ers will be in
town. The object in holding the meet-
ing is todiscuss plans for further steps
in promotion of the cause. The com-
'mittee will organize and arrange to
make a personal canvass among the op-
erators who have signified their unwill-
ingness to sign the uniformity agree-
ment. They think that most of the op-
position to the “uniformity" plan re-
sults from a misunderstanding of the
provisions contained in'the contract, or
on insufficient knowledge of its import.
By many operators, especially the river
coal men, the scheme is not considered
feasible, and they hesitate to join the
movement for that reason.
No signed contracts have yet been re-
ceived by the committee, but it is
learned that two or three have put
their names to the paper. D. B. Black-
burn signed on Saturday night, but
still holds the contract in his possession.
The intention of the committee is to
Secure the signatures of the larger
firms first, and after that, it is thought,
the smaller operators will fall intoline.
The committee has several months to
expect to have the required majority
ofall the operators in the district.
The strikers at Turtle Creek have di-
vided into three divisions and will march
on the several mines now in opera-
tion. One party will go to Spring Hill
mine, operated by Alexander Dempster,
located near VVilmerding. This mine
has been supplying the De Armitt com-
pany with coal. Another party . will
march to Oak Hill, as usual, and the
third company will go to Sandy Creek.
The Boone mine at Canonsburg start-
ed unexpectedly with 35 men, and a
force of about 800 men will march and
encamp about this mine until it is shut
down. .
In Illinois and Indiana.
Coffeen, 1115., Aug. 11.—This town is
practically under martial law. A force
of 235 armed deputy sheriffs is guarding
the town and particularly the property
of the Coffeen Coal and Copper com—
pany. One hundred and twenty—five
men are at work in the shaft under pro-
tection. Three hundred miners are en-
camped in the woods just west of the
town limits.
Evansville, Ind., Aug. 11.—At a mass
meeting in the West End park every
miner in this locality expressed sym-
pathy for the movement, and the ma-
jority of them signified their intention
of joining the strike. The John Ingle
company got out an injunction against
the strikers, and Judge Mattison set
Sept. 2 asthe date to hear the case. The
outlook here is more hopeful for the
striking miners than it has been. An—
other mass meeting will be held.
A dispatch from Sullivan, Ind., says
that the striking miners throughout the
field were supplied with food, more
than 5,000 being fed at Brazil. Strikers
are again on the march from Sullivan
to Evansville, from which point they
intend to cross into Kentucky and en-
deavor to close the St. Bernard mines.
TRAIN WRBGKERS AT WORK.
Ties Filed on. the Tracks Near \Vhlte
House, N. J., Cause Loss of $50,000.
Phillipsburg‘, N. J., Aug. 11.—Train
wreckers have been at work again on
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
and last night, for the fourth‘time in as
many months, they accomplished the
wreck of two fast freight trains, the
blocking of the tracks and the loss of at
least $50,000.
About 9:30 o'clock, as train No. 418
was thundering along at 50 miles an
hour on its way to New York with
many cars of valuable merchandise, the
engine struck a pile of ties just west of
White House. The obstruction was 1005-
ened by the crash and pushed along to
a switch, where the ties caught. The
engine left the track and landed down
an embankment a complete wreck.
Fourteen cars were also derailed, piled
up in confusion and their contents scat-
tered along the track.
Engineer Shupp of Mauch Chunk re-
mained at his post and miraculously
escaped with his life. Conductor Mat—
trass, also of Mauch Chunk, was riding
on the tank of the engine and was seri-
ously hurt. The fireman jumped.
Before a flagman could be sent out to
signal approaching trains another fast
freight, west bound, with fish and
peaches for the Lehigh valley, came up
and ran into the debris. The engine
and two cars of fish were demolished.
Engineer S'trubble of Bayonne City
and Conductor Moynahan of Junction
were badly injured.
A watchman had been employed at
White House to guard against the train
wreckcrs’ attempts, but last Saturday
be was suspended, the railroad oflicials
evidently thinkincr the gang had left
the district.
