DEPUTIESJITPULSEDI Officers Fail In Their Attempt to Evict Striking Miners. ANGRY WOMEN LED THE MOB All of Law‘s Servants Hurt More or Less. Conference Preparatory to the Vital Gathering In Columbus—\Vest Virginia’s Demands. Pittsburg, Sept. 8.—'I§ie efforts to evict the striking miners of the Pitts- burg and Chicago Gas Coal company at Orangeville, one and a half miles from Gastonville, resulted in a riot of no mean proportions and the utter fail- ure on the part of the company to ac- complish its object. “ When the news that the evictions were to be attempted got out, the whole vicinity about Finleyville, Gastonville and Orangeville became wildly excited. Twenty deputies from Washington, Pa., in charge of Chief DeputyJoseph Hemp- hill, reached Finleyville, where they were met by a large crowd of strikers and their friends. Each deputy was armed with awinchester rifle and a re- volver, but in spite of this the strikers, headed by 100 Polish women, closed in on them, and the deputies received rough treatment. They were gradually forced back and finally retreated to Gastonville, where they were followed by a crowd of about 200 men and wom- en. At Gastonville the deputies took refuge in the office of the company, where they were kept all night, during which the building was bombarded with stones and bricks, and an occa- sional shot was'fired. At 7 o’clock this morning the trouble of the night reached a climax, when the deputies sallied out from their besieged quarters and started to march to Orangeville. Each one carried his Winchester in his hands and his revolver was exposed, but these had no terrors for the be— siegers. \Vomen Not Intimidated. Headed by the same women the strikers rushed on the deputies with stones, clubs and pick handles, and blows fell thick and fast. One of the big women wrested the rifle from a deputy’s hands and struck him on the head with it, inflicting serious injury. By this time 1,000 men, women and children had joined the crowd. They came from Venetia, Snowden, Calamity and Finleyville. The deputies slowly made their way to Orangeville, taking all of the above insults and injuries, but never firing a shot. They finally took refuge in a vacant house, closely fol— lowed by .the mob, which quickly sur- rounded the building and threatened to burn it. Finally one of the strikers ap- proached the house with a flag of truce and a conference was held. The depu- ties were ordered to leave town, and after a short parley decided to do so. They emerged from the house a badly scared lot of men, and walking between the opened ranks of the strikers started for Gastonville. Almost every man in the posse was cut and bleeding and several were seri- ously hurt. One had his right hand al- most severed by a sharp stone. As the defeated deputies ran the gantlet they were greeted by hisses,.curses and ridi- cule. The strikers then closed in be- hind them and marched them to the station, where they took the train for Washington. , ' After their'departure the mob dis- persed and everything became quiet again. The Officials of the company say no further attempt will be made to evict the miners for the present. Dolan Explains. The district convention to elect del- agates to the national convention which meets at Columbus tomorrow to con- sider and determine whether or not the proposition that the miners return to work at a flat rate of 5 cents per ton be accepted assembled here today with nearly 100 delegates, representing every mine in the district, in attendance. The first session was taken up with receiv- ing credentials and perfecting organi- zation. The‘delegates were divided upon the question of accepting 65 cents or standing firm for the 69 cent rate. President Dolan stated that the ac- ceptance of the 65 cent rate by the min- ers did not necessarily carry with it the complete ending of the strike. At the mines of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company camps will still be maintained and the strike vigorously continued, so in the case of any and all mines throughout the district that refused to pay the rate agreed upon at the Columbus convention the strike would be kept up, and at all such points camps would be re-established and every known lawful and peaceful means would be used to keep those mines closed until the operators thereof agreed to pay the established rate. This statement was in view of the fact that it has been reported that there would probably be some mines where the rate would not be paid. President Dolan also stated that the delegates ‘to today’s convention would go into the conven- tion to decide the question of the ac- ceptance of the 65 cent .rate or its re- iection, entirely free from any influence other than their own opinions and be- liefs as to what was best for them. West Virginia’s Demands. Wheeling, Sept. '3.—District meetings . ere held in all the West Virginia re- ions where t e strike exists last night nd today.’ art have been modest in their de- ands. At Fairmont the delegates were nstructed to secure, if possible, a con- inuance of the strike till West Vir- Inia is in position to demand recogni- ion, but if that-is not possible to se- ure from the national body a pledge 0 continue the organization .work in he state till such time as the whole tate is organized and able to demand ages based upon the union scale. J. W. Rea of the painters and deco- ators, who has led the Fairmont fight 0 well, is made one of the delegates, nd he will go to Columbus to demand hat the national body keep its prom- es made at the outset, not only to the ' est Virginia miners, but to the na— renal. labor leaders in other lines—to ke care of all men who struck out of ympathy. Rea stated today that g Ie Columbus meeting does not sett' e strike all union labor in Chicago, eluding railroaders, would at once oycott and refuse to use or handle onunion coal. This has been agreed he miners for the most. '. ’ THEEVE hiNerAz ETTE. ' ' ‘ .. upon secretly. Rea also said he would use his influence with all labor leaders to keep up agitation among minors till everybody in the craft is organized, after the settlement is made. He argues that the fight may have to be. fought again in December, and if what has been gained is to be held all miners must be got into the union. Iowa Miners Quit Work. Des Moines, Sept. 8.—-A11 the miners of this county, about 500 men, quit work today, except those of theJChristy and poorhouse farm mines. hey de- mand 85 cents a ton. ' Secretary Ryan’s Views. Bramvood, 1115., Sept. 8.—Secretary Ryan Of the Illinois miners, before leaving for Columbus today, said: “The proposed settlement of the ~ miners’ strike has caused considerable excite- ment among the miners of Illinois, and particularly in the northern coalfields. The fact that the operators of northern Illinois have refused to attend any con- ference looking toward a settlement of the present trouble also establishes the fact that there can be no general settle- ment at the present time. Should the Pittsburg miners accept the 65 cent rate and resume work history will repeat itself, and the Illinois miners will be left to hold the bag. A resumption of work in Illinois at the reduction means the loss to the Pittsburg miners of the advance inside 60 days. The strike was inaugurated as a national issue and should end the same way, win or lose.” THE TERMS OF PEACE. The Marquis of Salisbury’s Proposal Ac- cepted by the Powers. Constantinople, Sept. 8.—The Marquis of Salisbury's proposal for the consti— tution of an international commission representing the six powers, to control the revenues with which Greece will guarantee the payment of interest [0 the holders of Old bonds, as well as payment of the indemnity loan, has been accepted by the powers. The only remaining question is the dates for the payment of the indemnity. The powers desire to insert these dates in the treaty of peace, but the British embas— sador, Sir Philip Currie, suggests that they leave the dates to be determined by the international commission. The embassadors expect that all the details of the treaty of peace will be settled on Thursday next. London, Sept. 8.—The Marquis of Salisbury’s latest proposal for the set- tlement of the terms of peace between Turkey and Greece is generally regard— ed as a victory for German diplomacy, and'much bitter feeling is displayed in, England over the British premier’s aI-' leged buckdown. The control of the Greek revenue in the interest of all the creditors of Greece, as well as for the security of the loan to Greece for the purpose of paying her indemnity to Turkey, was what Germany was bold- ing out for. Lord Salisbury’s proposition, accord- ing to the correspondent-of The Times at Constantinople, suggested the con— stitution of an international commis— sion representing the six powers, under whose control_Greece shall place her revenues, guaranteeing the interest to the holders of old bonds and to the holders of the bonds of the indemnity loan, this step to be followed by the prompt evacuation of Thessaly by the Turkish troops. The GoVernment of Crete. Khania, Island of Crete, Sept. 8.——The Turkish gendarmerie has been placed under the command of officers of Eu— ropean gendarmeries, the pOWers paying the expense and receiving therefor half of the customs revenue. The Porte’s Note Delayed. Constantinople, Sept. 8.—The embas- sadors have decided to defer until the peace treaty is signed the discussion of the Turkish government’s note an- nouncing the appointment of an Otto- man governor of Crete and its intention to retain the Turkish troops in Crete.
