McCarty against the association and the Horseshoers’ Union. The | evidence of both the witnesses favored the plaintiff in that it showed the ex- istence of considerable feeling against McCarty at the ne of his trouble with his men and his fellow employ- ers. Madigan testified that while he was getting his rigs ready for a funeral he was approached by the busine: genls of the Stablemeén's and Hackmen's unions and told that he must with- draw his patronage from McCarty or the funeral would be stopped and his employes called out. He said he de- murred to the request on the ground that McCarty's family would be in- jured and was then told that the fam- ily of the horseshoer was not to be considered. Kane's testimony was to the effect that during all the time that McCar- ty’'s men were out the association paid them $4 a day. Plotn o o PR Professor Stcphens to Legture.

UNION ORDERS STRIKE. It is averred that during the month | of November the company discharged | Frank Rochester, whereupon the mem- bers of the union struck, demanding . the reinstatement of Rochester, an in- crease of wages and .a shortening of the work day. During the pres:nt month the company employed 60 men in San Francisco to take the places of the strikers and when 27 of these . men arrived at Milton they were set upon by the defendants and by men from the Miners' Union from Angels Camp, who, by a show of force and threats of violence, intimidated the newly hired employes and drove them away. % It is averred further that at 10 o'clock in the morning the new comers { were forcibly taken down the railroad track and ordered to leave immediate- Iy and never come back. The comolaint alleges that by rea- ! son of these and other deeds of vio- lence and threats it is impossible for the complammant to work its mines, and that in pursuance of a conspiracy and combination men have been pick- eted around the property of the com- plainant by the defendants, some -ar- rying clubs and rifles with the express purpose of keeping away all intending employes from the mines by force.

It is charged also that J. E. Kemp Vaa Ee, manager of the mine, had beeu threatened with death if he refused to yield to the demands of the strikers. The strikers are charged further with having wrecked oné of the pumps m the mine and with having uncoupled another, by reason of which the mine was rapidly filling with water. It is alleged further that the drivers of the company's supnly wagens have been driven away by the strikers. It is alleged that $50,000 damage haz been done already by the strikers and that unless restricted the mine will be damaged to the extent of $250,000. —_—————————— KNIGHTS PREPARING FOR THEIR COMING CONCLAVE Big Rcpresentation From the New England States Will Be Included in Westward Pilgrimage.
