Lately the miners at Hyde Park, Pa, have
been threatened with ''strike within a strike
by the laborers, who have made proffers to 60
to work independently of the miners. These
laborers are hired and paid by the miners, who
became surprised and angry at the prospect of
being compelled to surrender at discretion.
The trouble between the two parties culminat-
ed in an outrageous attack yesterday by the
miners on the laborers, who were holding a
peaceful meeting to make arrangements for re-
sumlng work. Some persons were injured, but
none killed.
