The Americans Willing to
Work II Protected.

PITTsRURGH, August lS,-While al
the adyices indicate that there has been
no rioting in the coke regions since

HeCla Company the Huns estill drink
ing, and are in their ugliest mood, In

viding the deputy sheriff will guard
them. This evening four Huns of the
Mammoth works, we're arrested charged
with conspiracy aud melting riot, and
were brought 10 Greensburg and com.
mitted to Jail. Everything Is quiet at
the Hecla works tonight, and while no
trouble Is feared tomorrow by the
sheriff and his deputies, tho workmen
are not inclined to look at the situation
in that light.
Superintendent Ramsey, Of the Stand
ard Works, was at Greensburg to-day
and he stated TINT the situation In the
region is anything but encouraging.
The men at work In that locality arc in
constan. fear lest the savage Huns de.

Agres-An Unsettled Situation.
PIrrspuRoH, PA. August lS,-The
wage committee Of the Window Glass
Workers Association and manufacturers
had a meeting here to-day, but failed TO
reach an agreement, and adjourned ins
die. The indications are that strike or
lockout on September is quite certain,
unless one or the other makes conccs.
sions before that time. Both sides
now declare that they will not make any
compromise,
The summer shutdown ends on Sep,
tember !. The manufacturers say they
will not make preparations to resume
unless before that date tho workers with.
draw tlleir demand for All advance,
They INSIST that trade does not warrant
an advance; that they cannot increase
the price and hold their trade. The
worEmen argued their cause at some
length In support OF the stand they have
taken. They say there Is a boom in the
window glaGs trade, and that the ad-
vance demanded Gan easily be paid,
Should q strike be declared, some 5000
men will be directly affected, as there
are about that number OF window glass
works in the Western district.

details Of a thrilling experience. On
July 80 they left Anrorays, Idaho Terri
tory, for NIissoula, Montana, with two

would be dangerous on account OF forest
fires raging along the line from there to

started the roar OF flames was heard,
and they urged their teams as rapidly as
possible. The speed OF the horses was
slow compared TO the rapidity ut which
the fire travelled. They were soon over
taken, and leaving their teams In deep
ravine ran for shelter In u deserted tun-
mel, which happened to be in dense
timber. Their place OF refuge was en-:
tirely surrounded and 1t was Ave days
work before they were able, 10 get out.
They were entirely shut off from their
wagons containing provisions. There
was a suiAll spring In the tunnel, from
which they obtained water, but they
were without food nearly five days. The

say that they are surprised only because
