ScoTTDALE, Pa, April 6.-Two NOR
men died Saturday from injuries r,
! ceived at Morewood Thursday morning
They are Paul Salinsky, of Donnell,
and Joseph Klasman, of Mullins. Th
report Of their death sent thrill {
, excitement through the region, an
, gave rise to rumors of bloodshed an
violence.
There were reports from all points @
the region announcing gatherings O
strikers, but no violence has been re
ported. u
The Standard Band, of Mount Pleas
ant, led the procession from the Catho
lie church in Mount Pleasant to tn
Pennsylvania railroad station escortinc
the bodies of the Morewood victims
There were five aches in the train ant
all were filed with friends and sympa
thizers Of the dead. They arrived al
Scottdale at $3.50 o'clock and were met
by the Everson band, jefferson Assem-
bly,, No. 245. and about 5000 people
The Rev. Father Lambing had sent q
request to all licensed saloonkeepers &c
close their bars at $3.50 o'clock, and in
response to his request every saloon in
town was closed when the strikers be.
gan to assemble to greet the funeral
train.
1t had been showing heavily since
noon and for three hours and a half the
densely packed crowds stood around the
depot patiently waiting for the arrival
OF the funeral train. Ninety out of
every hundred were foreigners, and
were unable to speak the English lam
guage, while at least one-half of them
wore emblems Of mourning to denote
their sorrow over the death of their
fellow workers at the hands of the dep
uty sheriffs. They wer, very quiet.
Scarcely word was spoken and when
they did address each other it was in
subdued and awe-striclseu voices.
1t was scene never 10 be forgotten.
The falling snow, the depot, the muddy
streets filed with men pregnant with
subdued excitement, while one hundred
yards away up the track towards Mount
Pleasant were five companies of the
Eighteenth regiment under Col. N. M.
Smith. They had pulled into Scottdale
early Saturday morning and were given
orders to suppress all disturbances and
preserve the peace at any cost. Pro-
ceeding from the depot the funeral pro-
cession marched down the valley TO the
Catholic cemetery, where the remains
OF the dead were buried with the re-
ligious ceremonies Of the Catholic
church.
After the funeral the vast crowd as
sembled on the Everson Flats and Peter
Wise, district master workman of the
Knights of Labor, called the meeting to
order. Robert Watchorn, ex-secretary
OF the United Mine Workers, was the
first TO address the crowd. He advised
peace, and said the law was the only
course for the strikers as we'll as for
the operators. He deplored the tragedy
at Morewood Thursday morning and
said that people who were so irrespon.
sible as the deputies proved to be were
not fit to go TO Heaven.
Notwithstanding the fact that all the
leaders counseled peace, II is generally
believed that there will be trouble in the
region within the next two or three days.
Mr. Watchorn was very indignant over
he reports in the Pittsburgh papers of
IN interview with II. C. Fricls, in which
he latter condemned the labor | aders
With being responsible for the present
roubles in the region. Mr.. Wntchorr
ays that he will have afIldavits to-day
o show that Ii. c. FriclS paid for the
'assage OF worltmen from Europe te
Imerica and that many of these mep
we're forced TO go down into the mines
I the muzzles Of rifles and revolvers,
'here they were compelled to stay un.
u such time as Mr.. Frick saw ct TO lib
rate them.
referring TO men being compelled to
o TO work Mr. Watchorn gives the fol-
'wing statement made by William
.rosehburg: "William Mullan, super
ltendent Of the II. c. Frick company,
ime to my house on the 27th of March
