GOING FOR THE RIOTERS.
THE SHERIFF FLOODED WITH
WARRANTS.

pauy's Houses Coming.
MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 6-Quiet
prevails in the coke regions to-day. There
has been actually no disturbance of any
kind. The first effort 10 start the works
since the riot was made this morning. BY
actual count there were forty men as work
and it was evident that the majority of
them were old employees, as they drew
good coke and did it in elegant shape.
The men were not interfered with
10 any way while going to work. II seems
that the strikers are too badly frightened
to disturb any one at the present time This
condition of affairs is, of course due to the
soldiers, who have their guns loaded with
ball cartridge and VINO seem to have no
fear of putting ball into man who comes
too close to the line.
WARRANTS FOR THE RIOTERS.
Sheriff Clawson came over from Green's
burg this morning and was o very busy man.
He has warrants for twenty-five Of the
rioters and will probably have warrants
for about fifty more before the day
is over. These warrants are all
placed in the hands of constables who
have deputies to help In the arrests This
was lively day for the different township
officers, as they were ordered to go ahead
with the arrests Immediately so that the
leaders of the rioters will be safely Jailed
before the soldiers leave here. During the
morning six men men were arrested, and
there was considerable trouble in securing
them.
THE STRIKERS LAYING Low.
1t has now become generally known
among the strikers that warrants are out
for the supposed leaders in the riot, and
they are keeping themselves hid as much as
possible. Supt. Morris Ramsey returned
from Greensburg at IL o'clock to-day and
Immediately went before squire and swore
warrants for the arrest of fifteen additional
Italians. These warrants were placed in
the hands Of constables, and it
is expected that before midnight
at least thirty Of the rioters will be jailed.
Sheriff Cla wson had long co ference with
Supt. Ramsey of the Morewood works and
General Superintendent Lyhen of the
Frlck interests this afternoon, and 1t seemed
to be OF great Importance. but none Of the
gentlemen would say much about it. The
sheriff stated that they had decided on
IN We that, in his opinion, would put at rest
all fears OF violence in ths future.
EvICTIoNS EXPECTED.
1t is probable that evctions from thu
company's houses Will be commenced very
soon, possibly this week. At any rate it
will be done before the soldiers leave here,
and it is believed that this was the cause Of
the conference between the sheriff and the
representatives of-tAe-ePeretors. Several
carloads of provisions we're received to-day
and distributed among the strikers.
QUIET, BUT INTERESTING.
PITTsBURG. Pa. April 6, 10 P. NJ
Though quiet, affairs to-day In the coke
region were decidedly interesting to both
sides. The operators made most deter
mined efforts to start several of their
plants, but with doubtful success.
The strikers, on the other hand,
simply ignored the works, and up
to late tonight no outbreak or raid
whatever had been attempted, notwith-
standing the general alarm felt even at the
unexpected lighting Of match in the
Mcclure companies, following their policy
of resumption, made efforts to start their
plants to-day, while other smaller firms
seemed content to await the result.
CLAIMS OF THE COMPANIES.
At the Frick general Offices it was re-
ported that 100 men are at work at Ade-
laide, forty more at Morewood, and that
coke is being shipped from the Jimtown
and Sterling works. The Coal Brook plant
OF the Mcclure company is still operated
without trouble.

Wise says that but four men are working at
Morewood and that a corporals guard
would cover the remainder, and that the
entire region presents an appearance OF
total idleness except at plants where an
amicable adjustment has been made That
this movement to-day is simply a starter is
shown by the action of several companies
who have notified the sheriff of Fayette
county that they intend to start up to~mor-
lat fY,N Nha and ho will hal hal6
responsible for all damage if their works
are not guarded.
MANY ARRESTS MADE.
Many arrests have been made to-day,
among them being NJ. McDonough and
William Coleman, two prominent leaders of
the Morewood affair, who were released ON
$1,000 bail Military companies are still
stationed in Scottdale and Mount Pleasant.
Their presence is guarantee Of peace.
The real struggle begins to-day
and requires their presence and the
only fear is that they may be needed when
the Leith, Cochran. Leislnriug and other
former battle grounds start up to M orrow,
as has been decided by the operators. The
men still hope for a comUromise and are sat-
fsfed that the companies will yet make con-
cessions after the conference in Pittsburg.
RIOTERS HELD IN $1,000.
PITTsBURe, April 6, II P. Mp to to-
night several Morewood ri ters have been
arrested, and eight deputies who did the
shooting. The squire before whom
the hearings were held found
precedent somewhere. and held those
charged with riot and carrying concealed
weapons in 81 900 bail, while the deputies
charged with murder were released on
$500. 1t is said that the wounded strikers
previously reported as havin, died Satur-
day will be privately buried tomorrow.
General Manager Lynch Of the Frick
company has just issued statement in re-
ply to the appeal Of Rev. Father Lambing
who has got power over the strikers.
FIGHT 70 A FINISH.
Mr.. Lynch says it is no longer a ques-
tion of wag4s, but of personal liberty,
rights Of property and potency of
law. Regarding the general impression
that an amicable conference will settle The
difficulty, the general manager Of the Hugh
Frick interest, says it will be time enough
to confer with the leaders of the strike
when the military Of the state cannot en-
force the law. This means fight to a
finish, no matter what the result, as Mr..
Lynch is empowered to voice not only the
sentiments Of the Frick people but of three
fourths Of the operators.
