ScoTTDALE Pa, April 29-Affairs are
again becoming agitated in the coke re-
gion by the Importation of cheap labor,
and new trouble is anticipated. The strik-
ers are becoming stirred up over the ac-
lions of the coke companies in replacing
them with new men, and they are holding
meetings at various places and denouncing
1t in the widest terms. To add fuel to
their already infamed passions the So
cialist leaders are distributing circulars at
the different works which excel anything
yet for downright Socialistic. doctrines.
Jonas Trying to Raise a Row.
Alexander Jonas, the fiery Socialist
leader, Is the author of the circular tits
arrayed Numerically against the capital
lists, and among other things says: "The
ranks of cheap labor Will ever continue to
receive accessions through the tide of i'm
migration, and in the course of few
years, sooner or later, according to cir
cumstances, the time will come when the
supply of the commodity of labor shall
exceed the demand, when again will be-
gin that perriciOus turmoil which must
end with crash and the loss of innu-
nerable lives. That is what must come
to pass-that is, if nothing occurs to pre-.
vent it. But to revolutionize the affairs
OF to-day is the true way, and the only
way, to bring relief, genuine and lasting
relief, to the working people.

that the matter was diplomatic affair

This region have been the victims of the
sherif's writs and his deputies winches-

duty of the United Mine Workers to rem
