Mr. H. s. F'rick, owner Of tina Morewood
plant, was seen at his Office sin Pittsburg
this morning and in an interview said:
1--WE placed our men and PROPERTY in the
hands of the law for projection. The
sheriff in Merewoods has doneShis duty and
the governor is doing his. This Is no quar-
rel about wages bat only whether our
working men are to be shot down at mid
hight and our property destroyed by rioters
The authorities must settle this. and we
will know whether MODS or law will rule
At noen train left Greensburg filled
with deputies, all armed and prepared for
long siege. Peter Wise, master workman
of the district: James Mcbride, secretary
and w. P. Penna, vice-president of the
United mine workers Of America, came
here this morning and visited the scene of
the shooting and held conference with
several men. 1t is said that
THEY ARE SECURING NAMES
of the deputies, and that warrants for the
arrest of all of them, including Captain
Loar, who was in command, will be sworn
out. Loar claims that he
ORDERED THE MOB
to halt three times, and that he was an
swered with three shots. After another
command to halt the guards were ordered
to fire, and deadly volley was poured into
the crowd The fire was returned hotly,
but the aim was poor Friends Of
the mob down on the road could
do nothing, They could not shoot, not
knowing the position of the combatants,
and We're compelled, therefore, to await the
result of the fusilade. They could not have
reached the ground in time to reinforce
them to any purpose for the circuit of
works and buildings on either side of the
road. The witnesses of the terrible
scenes in the valley below say that the
firing did not continue more than three min
utes. When the strikers saw

visited with terrible punishment, they re-
treated with haste. 1t was not five min
utes after the firing that the deputies held
the field. The wounded were carried away,
but the dead were left and from the damp
road seven men were carried back to the
barracks at the store. That the dead men
were not afraid, is evidenced by the fact
that not one was shot in the back. When
the bullets struck them they were all facing
the deputies, who say they had turned to
fight and fight they did. Volley after vol
ley was fred at them, but not guard was
wounded. The mob had the courage of
ions-they were poor marksmen. The
surrounded all day with strikers and
friends. Persons who understand their
language say their threats are fearful
They swear to be avenged.
Peter Wise. district master workman,
applied to Justice McWilliams to arrest the
deputies Tor murder, out the 1uStlce refused
to do so. Wise denounced the shooting
As CoLD-BLooDED MURDER,
and said that there was no protection for
working men.
Physicians say that forty strikers are
wounded. many Of them mortally.
The excitement is increasing and the
prospects for another outbreak are growing
every hour.
The report that second attack took place
in which four more were killed, was pro-
nounced untrue, but another raid is ex-
pected at any time.
Squire McCobb consented to issue the
warrants prayed for, charging the deputies
with murder, and the warrants were served
this afternoon. General Manager Lynch of
the Frick company and Superintendent
Ramsay of the Morewood company were
made accessories. The deputies were ar
rested and gave bail at once.
Among those most seriously wounded are
Albert Brock, Caspar Seman, Joseph
Shultz, Albert Cidvic, Josef Napan and
Steve kobechen.
