Though Affairs in the coke re-
gion are Very Interesting.
PrrrsBURG. Pa. April 6.-Though
quiet. affairs to-day in the coke region
were decidedly interesting to both sides.
The operators made most determined
effort to start several Of their plants
with but doubtful success. The strik-
ers. on the other hand. simply ignored
the wqrks. and up 10 late Tonight not
an outbreak or raid whatever had been
attempted, Notwithstanding the general
alarm felt even at the unexpected
lighting of a match in the vicinity of
the plants. The large Frick and Nc
Clure companies. following their policy.
of RESUMPTION. made an effort 10 start
their plants to-day, while the other
smaller companies seemed content to
await the result. AT the Erick gen
eral offices it is reported that
100 menare at work at Adelaide, forty
at NOrevOOd and that coke is being
shipped from the JimtOWn and Sterling
works. The COalbrOUk plant of the Nc
C[ure company is still being operated
without much trouble. On the other
hand Master WOrkmen Wise says but
four men are working at MOrewOOd and
q cOrDoraFs guard would cover the re-
mainder. and that the entire region pre-
seuts the appearance of total ldleneSs,
except at plants where an amicabie adj
iustment has been made. That this
movement to-day is simply starter
is shown by the action of
several companies. who have nOti-
fed the sheriff of Fayette county they
intend to start up tomorrow or later in
the week. and that he will be held re-
spOn4ible for all damage if their works
are not guarded. Many arrests have
been made to-day, among them being
NJ. McDOnOugh and William Coleman,
two prominent leaders OF the More
wood affair, who were released on 81. 600
bail. The military companies are still
stationed in ScottdaIe and Mount Pleas
ant. having nothing TO do. Their pres
enee. however, is a guarantee of peace.
The real struggle began to-day requires
their presence, and the only tear is they
NAV De needed when the Leith. the
Cochran. the Leisenring and other
former battle grounds start up to-mOr-
row. as has been decided by
the operators. The men still
hone for a compromise and are
satisfied the companies will yet make
concessions after the conference in
Pittsburg.
Up to tonight several AIoreWo0d riot
els llGEG UEEl dLLEStCQ anu ljQ-
ties who did the shooting. The squire
before whom the hearings were held
found a precedent somewhere, and
held those charged with riot and carry
ing concealed weapons IN $1,000 bail,
while the deputies charged with murder
were released on $500 bail. Ii is said
the two wounded strikers previously re-
ported as having died Saturday Will be
privately buried tomorrow.
General Manager Lynch. of the Frick
company. has just issued statement
in reply TO the appeal of Rev. Father
Lambing. who has great power over the
strikers. Mr.. Lynch says ii is no
longer a question of wages, but of per-
sonal liberty, rights of property and
potency OF the law. Regarding the
general impression that an amIcabIe
conference will settle the difficulty, the
general manager OF the huge F-iek in
terestS says it Will be time enough to
confer with the leaders Of the strike
when the military OF the state cannot
