Many Families of the Striking Coke Work.
men in Pennsylvania ed-Starving
and Half Naked They Are Driven Out in
a Binding Snow Storm - Bloodshed
Feared.
CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, Feb. 4.-Twenty OF
the striking miners Of the coke region were
evicted from the companyhouses yesterday,
as their tie nure was under iron-clad leases.
4 furious snow-storm was raging at the
time. They were not compelled to remain
out in the cold, however, being taken in
by those who were not evicted. The con-
dition OF a few OF the evicted families is pit
iful, but in the main they are well provided
for, having laid by considerable money. So
far the slleriffs OF Westmoreland and Fay
cite Counties and their deputies have met
with no resistance. The evictions nave
been confined to the leaders Of the strike,
a few being singled out from each OF the
leading works. The evictions will become
general to-day.
The operators claim that the backbone
OF the strike is broken and that before the
evictions become general the men will sub
NIT and return to work. The miners and
coke-drawers occupying houses owned by
the operators say the greatest trouble the
Connellsville coke region ever witnessed has
only commenced, and that before they will
submit blood will flow No attempts have
been made to evict any families at the
larger works, where the greatest resistance
and most violence have been enacted. At
such works as the Standard and Moor
wood at Mount Pleasant, where several
thousand men-mostly Hungarians-are
employed, the houses are-castles contain.
ing men well armed.
There is considerable dcstitution among
the strikers, mostly on account of fuel, as
the operators will not allow them to mine
coal enough to keep them freezing, thinking
by this means to force them into work.
The demand for coke is now great and
furnaces and mills are shutting down all
over the country for want OF it.
A number OF imported laborers who were
brought to Standard Wednesday morning
refused to go to work, having been dis.
suaded from entering the mines by the
striking Hungarians.
