PIrrsToN, Pa, July 90 1877.
The prediction in the HERALD that the main matter
in the contest between labor and capital would DO
fought to end the anthracite coal regions
is already being most ieartully realized Vandalism
and terror are now riie, and the desperate means
adopted by the striking miners too plainly ioretells
siege heretofore regarded incredible. After re-
pcated and Intellectual attempts to induce the Pcnnsyl
vanla company whose headquarters this place,
tnnra thau
available argument 10 induce the miners to rike with
out avail, the strikers OF the Lackawanna region pro-
ceeded to ntmida,e them and destroy property Of
the company.

tho strikers arc those grown desperate by
the absence OF all kinds of work Tor months
past. The Pennsylvania company men could not
strike for redress, and this fac coming the kpowl
edge OF those already cut aroused their inventive
genius in another direction in order gain their ends
resulting In the lnccndiarism OF Friday night al TINS
