Assist Mine Owners

Pittsburg, Pa., Oug. 19. - A crushing blow was dealt the coal miners' strike when Judges Stowe and Collier handed down tñeir opinión in the miners' injunction case shortly after 10 o'closk this morning. The decisión raakes the preliminary injunction permanent. This gives the sanction of law to the autocratie acts of Sheriff Lowry, who at the instigation of the De Armits has lately eniployed the forces at his command to utterly bar the strikers from intercourse of any sort with the miners employed by the De Armits. The ruling of the courts will put au end to all marching and is regarded by the De Armits as a surs ?ign of victory. They say their men want to work, but have been intimidated by the marchers. The latter say they have not used force or intimidation in any case, but have tried to enlist De Armit's men in the name of humanity, to the end that all the coal mine strikers of the country might better their state.
