MANI HILLS COMPELLED TO STOP WORK


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIspArcH.i
SCorrDALE, May 4-The shooting to-
day of man named Mohan at Leisenring
No. was the sensation in the coke regions.
It is stated that the strikers had imprisoned
two men in their houses. The company
sent force of Pinkerton guards to search
the houses and release the men. They were
resisted by large crowd, headed by John
Mohan. The deputies fired and Mohan was
killed. Several others were hurt.
To-day a special train brought 100 HUI
garians to the region, and tonight two
more trains followed with another lot Of $50
Italians. The new men were dropped off at
Central. Morewood, Davidson and the Leis-
enrings. A similar number Is expected to-
morrow and is likely to be followed by a
still greater number every day during the
week.
There VIII Be No Pooling,
A leading operator said tonight: "There
is no more fooling in this business, the men
have besn waited for and given their last
chance; people who are willing TO work will
be brought in right along now as fast as we can
get our houses and special trains will bring
them The end of the week will show the
strikers that the operators don't propose to fool
with them any longer"
There has now been about 1000 new men
broueht into the region. This number may be
trebled the next five days. Evictions at Broad
foro. Letsenr1ng and Central works were con-
Quoted on the wholesale plan to-day. Near 100
families were set out. All was quiet and
orderly at the Central works. Sheriff Clawson
was accompanied by the Mt. Pleasant company
Of the National Guard. Their presence there,
IL is thought prevented any outbreak. Promi-
nent among the list of evictions was John De-
Haven, of Broadford. member of the Scale
Committee and Assistant District Secretary.
He was here on duty to-day and was not aware
that ms household goods were being thrown
out on the public highways until a messenger
brought him the word several hours afterward.
Claims of the Labor People. ...
The labor people continue to claim Jimtown
anG Sterling works are disabled. The company
positively deny any trouble at Jimtown and as
sert the full run as made to-day and the regular
number Of cars of coke shipped. They admit,
however, that two strikers duped the Super
intendent at Sterling in being permitted to re-
turn to work only to lead number of the men
out. Sterling will not make quite full run to-
day, but is expected TO have fully recovered by
tomorrow. This break" said an operator to-
day will be the cause of costing great number
of labor leaders their jobs. Up to this time any
one requesting has been allowed to return to
work but hereafter we will know our men be-
fore they are employed. 1t may be difficult to
turn all of them down, but some we know very
well now and the further they forever remain
away from us the better"
An exciting time is anticipated here to-
morrow when the Socialists attempt to hold
one of their meetings. Some OF the "Reds''
have been injudicous enough to assert thew
would insist upon carrying The red flag. The
heart of every patriotic citizen in town has
heen stirred to a high pitch and loud threats
are being made against permitting the red flag
20 be carried, 1t is being quietly rumored that
Doth the Grand Army of the Republic and
Senior and Junior Orders of American Me-
chanics have held special meetings to protest
against the reds and may be expected TO lead
IN movement to drive the Socialists out of
