VA., June 24.—(Spe <dnl.)—Tho strike situation to-night shows little change. Tlie most important event of the <sny was the jri-anting o< an in junction by Judge 3Celler. of tho Federal Court, restraining the . miners who have been marching:- through the field 1 from carrying firearms or employing any other method to Intimidate men who are' willing to work. To-day's march, was a novel : one. The •wives, mothers, and daughters -of- the strikers formed in line, about 100 strong, and " marched from 'Ashland to North Fork. Throughout the field, about: the same number of men were at work as. on yesterday? but the loading was a few ■cars lighter. The Crozicr operation, which ;has been shipping an average of about twenty riiye cars : a ' day, sometimes ■ reach ing thirty-eight, loaded only one car to- Any. This was: not due to lack of work men? but resulted from an accident to -the tipple. A ■■■■ loaded mine-car- crushed ■through the tipple. lloor.. and damaged the screens to such an extent as to necessi tate a shut-down for several days. Uttl«* Glinnprc In Pocnliontns.

At the time -there "were, sev eral employees 'in the building, but all escaped without. injury. ;. The ilrst alarm came from Box 32, to which responded. engine.co mpanies No. 2 aiid & and truck company No. 2. An alarm was also sounded 'from Box 312, but under the rules of the department no. attention was paid/to it, it being the next nearest box. ..'The second alarm from Box 32 was soon sounded, bringing engines 1, 3, and 7. and after the lapse of several minutes Throe Sixes came over the wires, bringing everything in the city to. the scene, with the exception of the reserve.

Besides the amount of bone that had been ground there was a large amount of unground hotiM in the place. This will no ...doubt prove a partial loss. The linn's loss is in excess of the insur ance, "which is $5,000, placed with the .Vir ginia Fire and Marino. Of this insurance |I!.C»W is on the machinery. Ko estimate of the value of the stock could he made last night, as Mr. An- Uerson- had not had time to look over the books. A member of the firm, when asked ; if it would start up again," stated that he could not say until the extent- of the losses was ascertained. / The building- was owned by Mr. John. 'J.

'. "■■ \ ." -■ - ; . ■ . -'• ■ '• .v ••■ Livlns AVorcs for Miners. (Baltimore Sun.) '.'" The statement of John! Mitche*:,,presi dent of the 'United Mine Workers, of America, in defence of the striking. miners in - the Pennsylvania anthracite , region, cannot be ignored by the coal operators and mine owners. It is a calm and dis passionate recital of the grievances of^the "men who work in thd Pennsylvania mines. If Mr.. Mitchell has stated ; the facts, with entire accuracy the strikers' demands were not unwarranted. /'The operators may reply that the question of wages concerns them exclusively; that there is no power which can compel an employer to pay higher wages than he is willing to give. These propositions are unquestionably sound. But there-is a question, of public policy involved -which the mine-owners should: not overlook: They base their, refusal to pay better wages on the ground that they cannot af ford it. Is that a fact? President Mitchell says the miners are, willing to submit their claims to arbitration* and, if the decision is against them, -to return to Work without- increased ;-.pay.'.; jThat is an offer which will make a favorable'im pression' on the public. There is a scarcity of coal; consumers have to pay' exorbi tant prices for a commodity which. cannot be dispensed with. There, is danger,. if the strike lasts much longer, that the In dustries of the "country 'will suffer.', ,In the circumstances, if the; mine-owners persist in their, refusal to arbitrate, 1 the Dul)lic'will hold! them responsible for the inconveniences to which; consumers are now subjected/and for.the disaster which; would result from a period of .industrial paralysis. - " ■ . ■ . ; President Mitchell's statements are based upon "' official documents and the testimony of coal operators. ,The 'facts: and figures which he presents indicate, that the profits of the operators have been large enough to enable, them to -pay. "living wages'' to the miners. That, is a question which could easily be, decided if the operators would submit their books to inspection. Such a suggestion may appear to them to be impertinent. They may fall back on their contention, that • it is nobody's business what their profits may be or what wages- they 'may pay. That would be ' poor, policy, however. The public, which Vis .-'suffering by; reason of, the strike, has a direct and substantial: interest in the manner In which coal, mining is carried on. It is this, long-suf fering public which gives the mine-ownel-s tariff protection and does not :insist upon: the enforcement of the laws against com-, binations in restraint of trade.: .It would be good policy, for the coal operators /to make some concessions to the public, otherwise they may nnd.themselves,,con fronted with by a general demand, for the abolition of the protective duties. • The consumers might even agitate for. the enactment of laws which would a combination of railroads and. mine owners from " controlling the, output of anthracite. They are very good reasons, from a business standpoint,, why -the ope rators should keep . on good terms; with the public. Let them reconsider their decision and submit their "controversy wlth the miners to the arbitrament of an impartial tribunal. / ..
