Miners in the Clear6eld coal region
have been on strike. The operators
hired other men and took them into
that county on The llth inst. A des-
patch on the 18th inst, tells in the
following language how the new men
were received: The force Of men who
left here yesterday morning with Fish
er and " hitehead succeeded in remov-
ing the blockade and reaching their
destination. John Siney, of the an
tbracite region, was addressing a mass
meeting of miners when it was announ-
ced that three car loads of blacklegs
had arrived and the meeting broke up
in confusion, and about nine hundred
men AMI women, armed an6 equipped,
repaired to Fishers and Whitebead's S
mines. They we're met BY Fisher and
! Whitehead, who forbid them to come
upon their property. The mob halted
and sent delegate in the person Of
John Siney to confer with Fisher and
Whitehead. Hc said it was peacea-
Bile strike and asked that committee
might 60 to the men and try and in
duee them to leave the region. This
request was granted, and the committee
passed on to the mines TO confer with
the men, but failed to induce single
man to return. A secQpd committee
was sent in, but succeeded no better.
Not one would consent to return. One
man suggested to shoot Mr.. Fisher if
he stood in the way The mob then
fell back and consulted, and finding
that the blacklegs could not be persua-
ded under imrrudent advice, they made
= wild and furious charge, sweeping
over Mr.. Fisher and bi, party. Men
and women brandishing clubs forcibly
entered houses. some Of Fishers men
we're seized and dragged out, their bag
gage was thrown from the windows,
aud the doors were broken down, and
provisions and valuables appropriated.
The men who have been working in the
mines for weeks were taken out and all
marched by the mob towards Tyrone.
They marched all night. Fisher and
| Whitehead arrived at Osceola about
midnight, and came to Tyrone on an
early train. The strikers have become
wild and ungovernable, and say that all
new men must and shall leave the re-
gion. If the men had refused blood
would have been shed freely. The
sheriff had proposed to be In attend
ance to protect the new men, but ow-
ing to some cause, not fully explained,
be did not come. The success of the
mob for the past two Gays threatens a
total suspension of business. They
propose to clean out every bank opera
ted. 1t is hoped that the State au-
thorities will take some steps to pro-
tect the lives and property of our citi-
zens.
