ercised great precaution to keep oil the
the company's premises They passed
resolutions TO remain firm. Another en-
thusiastic mass meeting was held at
Whitney. Italians are also at work there
and the meeting was called for the pur-
pose of getting them out on a strike.
Tonight the labor leaders say they hope
Governor Pattison will come TO the region
as intended, and make rigid and search
ing investigation of affairs. They claim
that the strikers are accused innocently
of many occurrences and that nothing
barring an investigation will bring out
these facts.
This evening there is great activity all
along the line. The coke companies will
make persistent efforts to resume more of
their plants tomorrow morning, and the
labor leaders are out to man IN the hope
OF defeating the movement. The Cambria
iron company will make an attempt 10 re-
kindle the fires in some of its plants,
which have been idle ten weeks.
The eviction movement will be fully in
| augurated. That many families will resist
seems to lie the general impression. Sew
eral hundred eviction notices were served
| by the coke companies on strikers be-
tween this place and Bradford last night.
At Summit and Morgan a couple of hun
dred papers were served. The Morewood
notices expired to-day. and evictions will
| take place tomorrow. From source be-
lieved TO be trustworthy it was learned
to-day that colored workmen would be
shipped into the region during the coming
week.
A dispatch from Uniontown, Pa, saws:
Adjt.-Gen- McClelland arrived here at 8
o'clock this morning. having left Harrisburg
at midnight and coming here from Green's
burg on an engine. He has established
his headquarters at the McClelland house.
He notified Sheriff Mccormick that COM
pany G OF this place and company h,
| Capt. Loar's company, of Mt. Pleasant,
were assembled and ready to move wher-
ever he the sheriff decided that their
services were needed. In conversation
with reporter the adjutant- general laid
great stress upon the fact that the troops
are not to be used to assist in evictions or
| to do police duty at any OF the works, but
to Quell disturbances and maintain order
when Sheriff McCOrmick's means have
| failed.
ScoTTDALE, Pa. April 20.-Today was
prolific of excitement and small riots
throughout the region. The women gener-
| ally are leading and are most bitter IN their
attacks on the deputies. Heretofore they
have been silent, but when evictors at
tackled their homes the foreign women
especially were driven wild.
During several squabbles today couple
of deputies were struck with stones and
one was cut on the arm while pushing his
way through a crowd. But few evictions
were made, as the sherifIs evidently fear
opposition and are gathering large forces
OF deputies In anticipation of trouble
when the evictions and arrests are made
at Leisenring tomorrow, the force OF depu-
| ties is being largely increased. There are
also fears of trouble at Adelaide, where a
number of eviction notices will also ex-
| pire tomorrow.
There is a report in circulation this
evening that Pinkerton detectives will be
| imported into the region and stationed at
the works where efforts are being made to
resume. Master Workman Wise is at
Whitney tonight to give passages to
number of imported Italians who are de-
sirous of leaving that point
But little of consequence was done at
the Whitney plants this afternoon, owing
to the raiding of the company's forces by
| the strikers. The labor leaders do not
have much to say about the coroner's ver-
| dict on the Morewood occurrence which
was rendered this afternoon. John Nc
| Sloy, worthy foreman of the United mine
workers. has had Superintendent j. a.
Eiser of Leisenring plant, and three sub
ordinates, arrested on charges of conspIr-
| acy, shooting with intent to kill and as
sault and battery. They are under 81 900
bail.
A dispatch from Uniontown, Pa, says:
The boys OF Company G spent quiet
night at the armory and the forenoon
passed without incident, but they were
startled at o'clock this afternoon by an
l. l. 10 L
| 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 coun-
termanded to the relief of the soldiers.
The trouble at the Leith arose over the
determination of Andy Dunsko not to be
evicted, and Andy was backed up by all
| the Hungarian women in the neighbor-
hood. The sheriff had evicted Joseph
| Hartman, who offered no resistance, but
when he attempted to 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.
One woman aimed a blow at the sheriff's
| head with hatchet which barely missed
its mark. The sheriff rushed to the com
pany's office, armed himself and sent
| deputy 10 hurry up the troops, but the
I
Deputy Crawford went to Leisenring
No. 2 today to serve the injunction papers
on thirty-two OF the strikers engaged in
the riot there on Saturday morning.
| Closely in his wake came Constable Chick
TO arrest the rioters. Twenty-six of the
latter were arrested and taken on board
the train by the constable when their
wives and the wives of other strikers,
to the number of forty or fifty, poured
into the two coaches and took possession.
| The women refused to pay their fare and
they refused to get off, and the trainmen,
after making a number of Intellectual
efforts to unload them, finally ran the
train on side-track, cut off
the coaches, prisoners and all, and came
on the engine to Vance's Mills junction,
and reported the situation to railroad
headquarters. The engineers brought the
engine to Uniontown with Constable
Chick and three of his prisoners aboard
Nothing has been heard of the train load
left behind.
Late tonight telephone message was
sent from Lamont 10 Leisengring No. 2,
notifying the deputies and company of Of
ficials that 250 strikers had just left
Lamont for Leisenring and riot is immi-
