VIII To-Day.
PrTrsBURG, February There were no
eviclious in the coke regions to-day. Six
teen additional wrirs of ejectment were
sent to the Sheriff this morning, but no
efforts were made to serve them. To-mor-
row, however, another attempt to force the
strikers to vacate the houses will be made.
At the same time q strong effort will be
made to break the strike. Between 200
aud 800 German and Irish labor
ers were sent into the region from
here today, and in the morning several
works will be put in operation. The evic
tions and assumptions, it is thought, will
have the desired effect. In some districts
the strikers are beginning to show signs OF
weakening, while at other points they are
as determined Gs ever Six OF the families
eyicted Yesterday are living in a
mill, and q number OF tenements
owned By Richard Barton, q miller.
Barton was present with team and wagon
when the eviction took place. As fast as
the Sheriis officers took the furniture
from the houses he told them to put 1t in
his wagon. Then ne hauled it to his mill
and his dwellings where the evicted fami
lies are now guarsered. The people OF
Uniontown and the farmers in the surround
ing country are being solicited to aid the
strikers with food and money and they are
contributing literally.
