Hard Time in 4rrrestng Riotsrs-Ths
Women again Block the Law.

PursBURG, PA, April 2O.-To-day
was prolific Of excitement and small
riots throughout the coke region. The
women generally are leading, and are
most bitter in their attacks on the dep
utieS. Heretofore they have been 81
lent. but when the evictOrs attacked
their homes, foreign women especially
were driven wild. During several
sQuabbles to-day Il couple of deputies
were struck with stones, and one was
cut on the arm while pushing his way
through a crowd. But few eyictionS
were made, as the SheriTS evidently fear
opposition and are gathering larger
forces Of deputies.
In anticipation of trouble when the
eyictionS and arrests are made at LeiS-
enring tomorrow, the force Of deputies
is being largely increased. There are
also fears of trouble at Adelaide, where
a number of eviction notices will also
expire tomorrow.
There is a report in circulation this
evening that Pinkerton detectives will
be imported into the region and sta
toned at works where efforts are being
made 20 resume. Master Workman
Wise is al Whitney tonight TO give pas
SageS TO a nuIAber OF imported Italians,
who are deSirous OF leaving that point.
But little of consequence was done
at the Whitney plants this afternoon
owing 10 the raidiug OF the cOmp-ny'S
forces by the strikers. The labor lead
erS do not have much to say about the
cOroner'S verdict on the MorewOod oc-
cuirence which was rendered this after
nOOl. John McStoy, Worthy Foreman
OF the United Mine Workers, has had
Superintendent j. A. ESSer, of the
LeiSenring plants, and there Subordi-
mates arrested on,chargeS of conspiracy,
shooting with intent to kill, and assault
and battery. They are under $1,000
bail

The boys Of Company c spent quiet
night NJ the ArmOrY, and the forenoon
was passed with incident, but they
were startled at $3.50 o'clock this after
noon. by an order from Sheriff
Mccormick TO move at once to Leith.
Mccormick had gone up at . o'clock to
make several evictiOnS and, the order to
the troops meant that there was trouble.
This was Immediately cOuntermanded
20 the great relief of the soldiers. The
trouble at Leith arose over the deter
minatiOn OF Andy DunSkO not 10 be
evicted peaceably, and Andy was backed
no by an the Hungarian women in the
neighbOrhOOd. The Sheriff had evicted
Joseph Hartman, who offered no resist
ance, but when he attempted 10 enter
DunSko's house he was met by the
women. who rushed at him and struck
him with their fists and any weapons
that came handy. The Sheriff rushed
% the company offices, armed himself
and sent a deputy to hurry up the
troops. but the women begged him 10
reconsider.
