PITrsBURaH, Pa, Jan. l9.-This even
ing q carload OF uniformed police wa
dispatched from this city to the scene o
the riotouS disturbances in the coke region
The police were sent in response TO a tele
gram from Col. Frick, Of the MoreWood
and Standard Coke Works, asking for aid
The officers will be sworn in by Sherif
Stewart, Of Westmoreland, as deputies
II 10 thought the small body OF uniformed
men will have more effect with the riot
Gus Hungarians than five times as many
officers in citizens dress, Governor
PattiSOn has also been called upon fol
military aid but has not responded.
Tho situation Of the coke strike may be
summed upRs followa; Inthe Connellsyille
district 7di ovens ara idle; In the Mt.
Pleasant district, 1904; in the Sommer'
vile district, 3O1; In the SCottdale dis
triCt, 7bS; In the Bradford district, l4S,
making in all 2,773 ovens, or about one
third Of the ovens in the region.
Sheriff Stewart failed to make any ar.
rests, thinking II best not TO make any AZ
tempt at arrest with his small force, The
lugtives Of Saturday are still free, The
llungGriSns, numbering about 800, are
naEd to handle, the woman being worse
than the men. They are very reVenEeiul
and will fight to the death before they will
% captured.
An Hungarian woman in a drug store
this afternoon indicated the feeling OF her
aouutrymen by remark made In answer
o question whether she was on strike.
said she: "Euglishmen have no money,
10 strike; Hungarians nave plenty money,
nlenty knife, plenty pistol, shoot, kill and
fight"
rhe American element claim that the
dungariAns are alone responsible lor
What they do. This morning the strikers
proceeded In a body Of almost 200 and
iroVs the men from the yards at the AL.
ICE mines. They blew up the tippls with
dynamite and drove White, the superin.
tendent OF the Works, from the yards,
threatening his life. Wherever the fiery
dungarIans go they carry 0 reign Of terror
with them, Committees are waiting on
he laborers in the Bradford region to In
luce them to strike, and the prevailing
opinion is that the men will all 20 out In
that district tomorrow.
A Mt. Pleasant, Pa, special says;
sheriff Stewart arrived ut q o'clock to.
light with nineteen additional deputies,
Rho will be placed on duty at the Alice
mines. The strikers who attacked these
mines to-day and drove of the Workmen
iestroyed all the tools, barroWs, coke
wagons and everythiug:moYeable, The
,hsrH has ordered his deputies to protect
hose who want to work, and It Is expect.
sd that trouble will follow this order.
Che HungRrians are pAradlng about
he Gtreets Of the village recklessly bold,
,o.night, and threatening vlolonus to oil
Who attempt TO return TO work and de.
itruCtiOn to the company's property. A
