Columbus, O., Aug. 20.—That the erisis may be at hand ip the local coal miners’ strike is said to be borne out by an alleged statement ascribed here today to National President Ratchford. He is quoted as haviug sail t is no longer a fight against De- Armitt; it is no longer a fight against coal operators; it is a fight against the courts; a fight against injunc- tions; a fight for the preservation of civil liberties."” Mr. Ratchford said that the miners would endeavor to prevent the oper- al from moving any coal, but he would not say what tactics would be employed to accomplish this result. The executive board of the United Mine Workers has been in session here all day behind closed doors, ‘The question under consideration was how to meet the sweeping injunc- tions granted by the courts at Pitts- burg and in West Virginia, Tho members of the committee say that they have not yet agreed upon a plan of action, and that they will not com- plete their labors before tomorrow, It is understood one of the plans is to try and induce the railroad em- ployes to refuse to haul any coal that 1s mined. President Ratchford still asserts that the miners will be victo- 3 rious. LOST BOY FOUND. John Conway Was Abducted by His Uncleand Another Man in New York State Albany, N.

Advices re- ceived here tonight per steamship Queen, leaving Skaguay August 1 state that the majority of the miners now on the beach at the foot of the alleged pass over the mountains have determived to winter there, having given up hope of getting to the lakes before winter seis in. Two alternatives face the Klon- diker on belng dumped off the steam- er at Dyea, either be must climb the old Chileoot pass, 4,000 feet high, then cross two snow-covered ranges, or else he must take the raw trial that has been constructed over White Pass and which is now almost impas- sable with mud and obstractions. Indian packers were employed at the Chilkoot at $30 per hundred for packing supplies to the lakes. The make the trip in two days. An or- inary outfit would thus entail an ex penditare of $300 for packing to get fresh water. The other alternative is nploy a pack train over the White As yet, however it has been found impossible to get an outfit of half « ton over the pass by this route short of a week or ten days. Hundreds of those at Skaguay have given up hope of ever reaching the diggings and are selling their sup- plies at one-teuiu of their cost price A oumber have gone to work at the Treadwill mine, whose employes deserted at the beginning of the Klonkike excitement, Perhaps 2000 will winter at Skaguay Bay.
