The Coal Miners Strike,

CoNNELLsv1LLE, Pa, February 9.-No
outbreak is reported from any point in the
coke regions to-day. Sheriff Sterling is
here swearing in 100 men as deputies for
the purpose of attempting to arrest all
those who were engaged in the depreda-
tions at Broadford yesterday. The crowd
that visited Jimtown from the Scuttdale
meeting last evening to force the men at
work their to join them were successful,
for this morning not a man was at work
The strike is assuming more serious as
pect III view OF the occurrences of yester.
day. and grave fears are entertained by all
good citizens that a reign OF terror is not
improbable. and that it may exceed the
Hooking Valley riots. Many of the miners
who participated in those riots are here

wherever there is chance OF reaping This

men, as Il majority desire to be law abid-
ing. The Siavs are among the most dis
contented and as few OF them understand
our language it is hard to pacify them
when once they are aroused. In the riot
in Broadford yesterday. the foremost and
most determined men were Hungarians
and a few Italians. People living in the
coke regions are strongly opposed to i'm
porting labor to take the places of the
striking miners. A meeting of citizens will
be held at Scottdale tomorrow to protest
against any more foreign importation
until the strike is settled.
