the price of coal from the figures of the
la t few dajs The supply li said to have
Increased nnd the West Virginians are sell
ing down to pricey which appioach thuno
In effect before the strike began.
llx-State President deorgo Hairls of tlie
old rn'nerV ' union was In conference hero to
day with the miners' officials relative to the
extension of the strike In the fields of
I'onns > lvanla. He stated that tlm miner * are
dl istlnfled and he believes can bo Induced
to ault vvorfc , which would aid matcrlilly
In bringing success to the movement. The
Jcfferson-Clcarnold Coal and lion company
omplojs about 10,000 men , he sa > 3 , and the }
are turning out dally from 30.000 to 35,000
tons of coal , most of which Is being shipped
to the IMttsburg market. The npynoUlsvllle
miners , numbering 1,000 , have already ault
work nnd are now considering the advisa
bility of making a raid on tbo other mines
of the company , located In Jefferson county
and Inducing them to quit work It was de
cided to itnrt the movement at once.
DOliAN IS COOL , .
The Injunction secured by the New York
and Cleveland Clis Coal company was read
to President Dolan by a deputy this after
noon at mine s' headmiarterq Mr. Dolan ,
who was writing at the time , scarcely
Btoppo.1 hi * work for more thin a second
nnd when the reading was finished acknowl
edged It by merely saying , "Thank jou. " Ho
says the Injunction will not clnngc the
minors' campaign In the lca t. Hx-Prcsldent
Cameron Mlllor came Into headquarters
shortly after the reading of the document to
Dolan. Ho E < vld the minors will continue as
heretofore , using all lawful mcana possible
to keep miners from working during the
ntrugglo for better wages.
It Is the Intention of the officers of the
court to try to forestall the customary inarch
In the morning by going to the camp to
night anl reading thp Injunction to the camp
ers. If this Is done the crisis will bo cer
tainly reached at about 4 o'clock In the
morning , as the strikers appear determined
to test their right to carry out their usual
program. It la paid that when the deputies
do start to enforce the Injunction they will
bo compelled to arrest every man for con
tempt and that as fast as the men are placed
In jail other * will be brought Into camp to
talc a tholr places , and thus the deputies will
be kept busy making nil cats until the jails
are overcrowded.
It Is claimed by the strikers that this
movement of the company Is only another
plan for getting the mllltl.i on the ground
When they find that tic ) miners will not
obey the Injunction and the * jails are becom
ing crowded In this manner It Is expected
that the sheriff will adjudge that his deputies
are not sufficient to copp with the situation
and ho will be constrained to call out MIC
mllltla. This h the view of the situation
taken by the leaders of the strikers now In
the camps. This evening the strikers al
Plum Creek held a meeting and voted unani
mously to hold the fort , but not to resist
arrest.
At 11:15 : p. m. Sheriff Lowry and his
deputies , numbering 100 , left Turtle Creel ,
for Plum Creek. The distance they will
have to travel Is about twelve miles and they
c poct to bo on hand before the strikers
match on Plum Creek. The sheriff Is deter
mined to carry out the cider of the court
and says ho will surely nrreat the leaders as
teen as the march begins. If new leaders
are substituted they also will be gathered In
While the big majority of the strikeis ore
ivllllng to go to jail umeslatlngly there em-
a few of the hot heads who have announced
that they will not be taktn alive. Tin
minority may be the lucins ot causing strife
in the morning

The executive committee of the exposition
held a special meeting at the Commercial
club roomi jestcrday afternoon. Managers
LIrdsey , Ilrucc and Resonator were present
together /Uth President Wattles , who Is In
charge of the Department ot llulldlnga nnd
Grounds during the absence from the city of
Mr Klrkendall. Managers Reed and Pabcoclt
nro also out of the city , leaving a bare
quorum ot the committee
After discussing some minor matters , the
railway question was brought tip by Jla i-
ager Rosewater , who Introduced the follow
ing resolution :
Wherenw , Tbo proposed contract granting
to the MlBourl Paclllc rnllrond the ex
clusive rlpht of vvny through the exposi
tion grounds , nnd tlxlng the "witching nnd
trntisier cburgea for building materials nnd
hlbltt over Its trucks hus not been
I.Killed , and
Whereas , The JIKsourl Pacific railroad In
anticipation of u uintiact is Inylng tiuckH
on the exposition right of wuy ; there-fore ,
be It
Hesolved , That the president It hereby di
rected to notify the manager of the AII1-
! ourl 1'nelllo railroad to discontinue the
conotruetlon nnd tracking Ing on the o\-
po'ltlon grounds until a contract satisfac
tory to this boaul has been concluded.
In support of the resolution Mr. Rosewater
said ho thought It very unbualness like to
allow any railroad to lay IU tricks upon the
grounds before a contract had been agreed
upon. The question ot handling cars Inside
the iioundi3 was one of Importance and
should bo fully considered before the con
tract Is closed. He paid It might be that
some other method ot handling cara might
be devised which would save money to the
exposition Under the terms ot the proposed
contract the shipper was required to pay a
terminal rliargo of $4 per car , In addition IL
the usual switching charge of $2 per cai
Instead of allowing the railroad company to
collect this charge Mr. Ro&owatcr said It
might bo found expedient for the cam to b"
handled with horses or mules for a less price
and money turned Into the exposition treas
ury , while that pild for handling the cam
would bu distributed among local teamsters
WATTLHS MAKES A STATEMENT.
In reply to the statement by Mr. ROEO-
water , Mr. Wattles said that he knew little
about the matter and had done nothing with
It since Mr Klrkendall's absence. All that
wna done was under the direction or Mr.
Klrkendall or his superintendent of construc
tion. Mr. Wattlfs said that the contracts
made with the contractow of the main buildIngs -
Ings were all being drawn by Mr Geraldlne
to provide that the exposition should provide
trackage facilities for hauling the lumber
and other matTlal of the contractors Into
the giomils , and If the trackage was no.
provided the exposition would be responsible
to the conti actor. Ho argued that It was
absolutely noccsmry that the tracks be laid
at once. Ho went Into the history of the-
railway matter , saying that the principal
provisions of the contiact had been arranged
by Manager Babcock before he left the city
Mr. Wattles also stated that he had seen
General Manager BIdwcll of the Klkhorn
road , who said that his road did not care to
cntci the grounds.
"Mr. BIdwcll says he was not approached
In the matter until It was too late for him
to do anj thing , " Interjected Mr. Lindsey.
"IIo sa > s that his road feels that It has not
been trcited as It should have been , and that
It has been shut out of the grounds. "
Mr. Wattles said he know nothing about
the matter , as It had been In the hands of
the Department of Buildings and Grounds
IIo dloaussed the terms under which he said
the contiact which had been drawn allowed
the Missouri Pacific to enter the grounds.
DRAWN IN ST. LOUIS.
It developed during this part of the pro
ceedings that the rallv.ay contract had been
drawn by the attornejs for the Missouri
Pacific In St. Louis , and had been sent to
General Agent Phllllppl of Omaha for exe
cution by the exposition officials. It was
presented to Manager Babcock before he left
the city for an eastern trip , and ho glanced
o\cr It hurriedly , noting several changes ,
and directing Superintendent Owens of the
Transportation Department to return It to
the Mfsoauil Pacific for correction. He also
directed Mr. Owens to go over It very care
fully when It was returned and not to allow
It to pass with the endorsement of the de
partment unless the Intel csts of the exposi
tion were fully protected. It was returned
to the Missouri Paclllc , and after a lapse
of neaily thiee weeks Mr. Owens Inquired
of the lallway people why It had not been
returned. He was Informed by them that
It had been returned to Supeiintendent of
Construction Geraldlno two weeks before
The pamo day Manager Klrkendall brought
the contract to Mr. Owens and said It muni
bo taken before the executive committee foi
approval , at the meeting to which ho was
then en route. Mr Owens declined to pass
upon such an Important document In five
minutes. The contract was then left with
him for examination , and he proceeded to go
over It.
The contract wes largely on a printed form
and was drawn In such a way as to give the
railway company absolute control over the
tracks Insldo the exposition grounds. U was
nn "Ironclad" document. In which the inter
ests of the railway company were fully pro
tected ,
GRRALOINfi ALONR KNOWS.
Mr. Owens suggested a number of altera
tions In the document calculated to glvo the
exposition , some protection and embodied liU
suggestloiiH In a letter to his chief. Mr
Bibcock endorsed tbo suggfdtlsns of M'1.
Oweiib and In&tructed him to approve a con
tract drawn In accordance therewith. The
railway company was not I lied of this action ,
and It Is reported that another contract
waa prorated by the railway officials and
submitted tu the Depaitmrnt ot Buildings
and Grounds for approval. If such Is the
fact , It has been very carefully concealed
behind the heavy Iron screen partition whlf-h
divides thu anto-room to the Inner chamber
of the ol'lco of the superintendent ot the
Department of Buildings and Grounds , and
guards these Mcred precincts from Intrusion
by prying stockholders and the common
people. No contract'has bqpn submitted'to
thu Department ot Transportation or to the
executive committee for examination or ap
proval hilt the Missouri Pacific U laying
Its tiacki on the main court , one sldo having
boon completed and the other being almost
finished , It was this condition of affalra
which led to the calling ot the meeting.
During the discussion which developed , the
foirgolng facts , Mr. Lindsey supported tha
position of Mr , Rosewater , that the laying
of tracks should not be allowed to proceed
until thn contract had been agreed upon.
Mr. Wattles urged the necessity for haste
In getting the tracks laid , In order to avoid
delay by contractors being obliged to haul
their material In wagons. Mr. Bruce sup
ported Mr , Wattles ,
Mr. Rosewater ridiculed the Idea that
there was necessity for such tremendous
haste- that the work could not wait a few
days Ho said ( hero was but llttlo over a
rnllo of track Inetdo the grounds and this
could bo laid In thrco dajs , If necessary.
Ho said It looked very funny that there
was such a great rush now when the con
tract had reposed In Mr. Geraldlno's desk
two weeks without being submitted to thu
proper authorities.
Chairman Llndeey called attetitlon to the
fact that there had been no second to Mr.
Rosowatcr's motion to adopt the resolution
Mr. Bruce did not volunteer to second the
motion , as ho was opposed to It , and Pres
ident Wattles had no vote and could not
second It If he had been so Inclined , The
chairman did not exercise his right to second
end a motion and the resolution went by
default.
Mr. Rosewater gave notlco that ho would
bring tha matter up before the meeting of
tha board of directors , to bo held at 4 o'clock
this afternoon , and then the discussion
turned upon another topic.
"They don't make much fuea about It. "
