hours lato today, aod there were fore?
bodings of a serious clash botweoo arm?

ers
Prompt action of some of tbo oooi
headed officials of tbe miners' organi
latioo fioally suooeeded in averting tbo
belated ooofliot Some 3,000 excited
atrikera assembled at Mount Carvel
and, headed by a band of music, start?
ed a marob to North Franklin with the
avowed purpose of foroiog those at
work at the North Franklin colliery to
quit aod joio io tbe atrike. This was
ths ooly mioo io operatioo io the re
gioo aod the strikers hsd bsoome an?
gered at the refusal of the meo there
to atop work
Tbe marchers were io so excited
sod wrathful frame of mind. Wheo
they bad oovered three miles of their
marob tbey were met by officials of
their organization, who, after much per*
suasion, iodooed che meo to abaodoo
their proposed trip Tbo strikers tbeo
turned book, though many did so ro
luetaotly. Meaotime several hundred
depotica bad been rosbed to Trevortioo
on special trains aod a serious ooofliot
ooold scaroely have beeo avoided bad
the exoited strikers arrived at tbe
soeoe aod eodeavored to oarry out their
threats agaiost the workmen
Later it was announoed that the offi?
cials of tbe North Fraoklio to preveot
trouble would not operate the mioe uo
til the strike was settled.
Qeo Gobio as a result of the threat
eoed trouble resoioded his order for
Battery C of the oatiooal guard to re?
turn homo tomorrow. The Eighth
regimeot left for home this afternoon.
Affairs are quiet in ail other ssotioos
of tbe anthracite field today aod tbe
strikers scored important gains io the
olosiog of additional oollieries, io the
Sobuykill district. With a cessation of
operations at tbs North Fraoklio all of
the Philadelphia aod Readiog com?

esting feature was the Readiog oom?
paoy's notice to its employes that in
addition to its tffsr of a 10 per cent
inoreaso it was willing to enter into
arbitiatioo with them relative to aoy
grievances they may have. None of lb*
strikers, however, have indicated their
intention to return to work.
A run-ar gained ?irouiatiou today
that Preaideut Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers had in conference with
tbe presidents of the ooal carrying rail?
roads agreed upon a settlement of the
strike Wheo informed ot the rumor
Mr Mitchell promptly denied it aod said
be had not boru in oooferoooo with

A secret conference of the leading
officials of tbe mioers1 organization was

VIGOROUS PROTEST.
_l
Committee to Go to Atlanta
About Railroad Rates
From all eitles are coming (be most
vigorous and earned protests against
the action of the Passenger Aseocia
tion in raising the railroad rates to
the State fair this year .These pro
tests do uot come alone from Iba
people of Columbia, but many of the
most vigorous ones have como from
people all over the State The adju
tant general's office began to feel tbe
effect of tbe increase yesterday when
letters came from several companies
who bad given notice that they would
be here, saying that the rates made
it dooblful if they could come The
Charleston battalion is one of the
organizations tbat is likely to be kept
away if the circular stands Gen.
Floyd promptly wrote tbe railroad
commission an earnest letter, and
asked tbat tbe matter be taken up im
mediately with tbe several railroads
Tbe State society, the city associa
tion and tbe Merchants and Manufac?
turers club hare already prepared
protests President Evans of the
State society, who ia also chairman
of tbe railroad commission, was here
yesterday lie was astonished at
tbe association's rates, and after
conaultation he will probably go to
Atlanta on Sunday accompanied by
Gen Floyd and others representing
the business interests of the city.
Mr Evans said yesterday that the
roads got virtually the only profits
arising from the fair, any other
profits going to the business men of
Columbia, who are the chief patrons
of tbe roads, and be for one felt like
saying to tbe roads if they wished to
Injure tbe fair with increaeed rates
tbe society had no objection to call
it off altogether and telling the
people of the Slate exactly why.
This sentiment has been frequently
voiced in tbe past few days by men
of more than ordinary standing and
influence ?The State, Oct 6.
