termination Peaceful.
HO NECESSITY TO CALL TROOPS.
Strikers Are Slowly Winning Their Points
Around the DeAnnltt Mines. Means
of Feeding the Large Number
Is Limited.
Pittsburg, Aug:. 4. The strikers still
continue to train accessions to thdt
number from the New York and Cleve
land company's men. Sandy Creek and
Turtle Creek mines are completely idle
and tho Plum Creek men are slowly,
but surely coming into line with the
men encamped In the vicinity. Yester
duy nearly half of the diggers at this
stronghold of the company failed to
go to work, and a number of those whe
did go to work Into llup pit have prom
ised to quit as soon tfB they clean up
the coal now lying In their rooms.
At Camp Determination it was re
ported that every one of the miners
of tho New York and Cleveland com
pany who had gone to work was in
sympathy with the movement and only
their signatures to a contract prevenlid
them from staying out. The miners are
satisfied with the progress they have
made. They claimed that the offend
ing mines wcro nearer to suspension
now than they have been Blnco the
strike was inaugurated, and are Jubi
lant over the work they have done.
At the headquarters of the minors'
officials In this city thure were many
cullers during the day. Proffers of aid
were numerous, and the majority did
not wish the public to know of their
sympathy. The miners' officials have
tetalned W. J. llienncn to defend them
at the hearing before Justice Semmea,
at Turtle Creek, this afternoon. They
are charged with riot and unlawful
assemblage. It Is expected that there
will be somo fine points of law dis
cussed. Attorney Sol Schoyer will ap
pear dn bohalf of the. prosecutors.
There are close upon 2,000 strikers In
camp at Turtle Creek, 350 at Plum
Creek and 300 at Sandy Creek. If this
number Is not sufficient to deter thf
DeArmttt miners frojn going to work,
all these camps will be largely In
creased before the end of the week,
Arrangements are being matje for the
big meeting on the fcvharf Tuesday
night. It promises to The the greatest
demonstration of the lnd ever held
In this city. Mayor Ford was asked
by the men to preside over the meet
ing, which invitation he declined on
the ground that ho was acting neu
trally. In.- theratrlltB question..
Thu announcement that Sheriff Low.
ry was in communication with the
governor, and that there was a possi.
blllty that the state troops would be
ordered out, had no particular effect
In Camp Determination. The strikers
all say there has been no occasion nor
reason for discussing tho coming of
the troops, It Is reported that a mill
tary attache had been at work through
the strike territory preparing maps
that will Insure a quick mobilization
of troops at any given point In case of
trouble. The move, It Is said, how
ever, Is merely precautionary. The
same plan was carried out at Home
stead. The arrival of Brigadier General John
A. Wiley, of tho Second brigade, N. G.
P., p tho qity, and hs conference with
loca) officers of the guard, gave rise
to tho story that he wbb here to ar.
range for the transportation of the
troops to DeArmitt's mines, When told
of tho rumors afloat General Wiley
said: "I am here. on personal matters
only, and my visit has no connection
with the Second brigade or the Na
tional Guard. I have not consulted
with any military officers, neither do
I expect to, and there Is no necessity
for such a move."
The lull In the situation, after the
exciting events of the 24 hours, js tha
first opportunity the officials have had
to size up tho situation, Aa a result,
each of the three camps of striking,
miners has been placed under strict
military government. This will be con
tinued until tho camps are abandoned.
The members of the district executive
board -were placed at each camp. These
men are to receive Instructions from
Dolan and Warner, and np further gen
eral move Is to he made unless a gen
eral conference Is held.
Secretary Warner Is experiencing
great difficulty in getting provisions.
The demand for bread Is so great that
tho local bakeries wore unable to meet
the orders placed thlB morning. In
speaking of the situation, President
Dolan said:
"The entire success of the movement
now depends upon the order main
tained In the camp. We have demon
strated to DoArmitt that his men were
not invulnerable. When I left the
mines yesterday his entire interests
were at a standstill. The New York;
and Cleveland company has given up
all hope of operating the Sandy Creek
mines, while those at Plum Creek and
Turtle Creek are so badly crippled that
there are not enough men to get out a
car of coal.
"These statements are not based
upon the Idle talk of the men, but upon
personal observation. Mr. DeArmltt
undoubtedly recognises that the strike
situation Is gradually assuming a fav
prable aspeot for the men, and that If
ordor can be preserved his defeat it
certain,"
Mr. DeArmltt Is confident the strik
ers cannot wholly shut down lUs
mines, and avers that a change will
come oVer the scone within the next
few days, although he does not say
how this Is to be brought about. Mr.
DeArmltt Intimated that he would soon
spring the injunction against the min
us which was granted May 16, 186.
tfnd which was sustained by tho su
preme court after the supt rlor court
liad reversed the lower court. This In
junction was made perpetual.
Mr. DeAnnltt said: "The miners
employed at our mines are not uhly
Intimidated from going to work, hut
they dare not leave their families at
home at the mercy of a mob respnn
t.lhlp to no one. The mjil has increased
until It Is beyond tne contrm ut tne
law."
Mr. DeArmltt would not say so, but
judging1 from his remarks It Is believed
he Is expecting that Sheriff Lowry will
call on the governor for troops to dls
perse the strikers.
Signatures have been appended to the
"uniformity agreement," whloh hns
been In preparation for a week. The
last corrections were made Monday
night, and the completed documents
were ready for the committee yester
day. Those members of the committee
wh are coal producers will sign It,
nntl at once start out to visit the own
ers or managers of the 141 mines whloh
nre named as necessary to bo Included
Within the compact, to secure addi
tional signatures.
A Hungarian miner waB attacked by
a woman as he was entering the pit at
I'i '.'li. The Hungarian had ven
tured alone to tne pit. There were no
deputies guarding him, and when he
was congratulating himself that the
strikers had not tried to stop him he
found himself face to face with a min
er's wife. She had a rock In each hand.
The Hun thought the woman would
not or could not hit him, for he at
tempted to dart past her. As he ran
the woman threw the rocks after him,
but they went wide of the mark. As
tha Hungarian doubled his speed the
woman gave chase. She soon over
hauled the fleeing miner and caught
him by the neck. Ilefore she had time
to hit him, as he struggled to free him
self, six of the strikers ran forward
and made the woman release her
squirming captive.
Minors Suo Operators.
Altoona, Pa., Aug. 4. Although the
Mitchell coal operators at Hastings
supposed they had made satisfactory
terms with their miners, the men are
still out. The trouble at the Sterling
mine No. 8 is still on. Thirty-two men
have taken a new step by suing the
officials of the mine for the value of
the fifth ton taken off them. The suits
average $10 each. The miners say that
In addjtlon to being obliged to dig
2,500 pounds for a ton, they have been
robbed of every fifth car they put out.

THE MIEjN
TAX MW.
Full Text
of the Recently Enacted
Measure.
DOES HOT AFFECT OTHER TAXES.
The Regularly Elected Tax Collectors Must
Make Their Collections Regardless of
the New Law The latter Is
a Wholly Independent
Measure.
One of tho most important laws pasted at
tne last, session of the Pennsylvania Leglala
ture was tho alien tax law. It has aroused so
much Interest and led to so much specula.
tion as to the probable effect in different
directions that it has been deemed advisable
to publish it in full. Tho IIbkald lias been
enabled to secure a copy of the law through
tne courtesy ot M. M. Burke, Esq.
When the law was first passed many of the
regular tax collectors jumped to the concus
ion that they were relieved from responsibil
ity for the collection from people affected by
the law and somo, including Tax Collector
bcanlan of town, made application to havo a
largo number of names placed upon the ex
oneration lists under their duplicates. Thore
appears to bo nothing in the law. however.
that warrants this and it is tho opinion of
lawyers wno nave given the matter consider
ation that tho regular taxes must bo collected
independent of thoso collected by tho mining
and other companies under tho now law.
It is qtiito likely that tho law will bo a
subject of discussion at tho School Board
meeting to-night. It is claimed by some
that the law greatly increases tho number of
taxables and that there should be a corres
ponding increase iu the appropriation from
tho stato to the school district. It is doubted
by many, however, that this position can be
maintained as the law provides that the
school districts get half tho alien taxes col
lected, and tho districts thereby get the bene
fit ot tho increase.
Tho following is the law:
Whereas, It is tho duty of the government
to enact such laws as shall protect the citizen
