Work Resumed on o Small Scale without
Interruption.
MouNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 6.-Quiet pre-
walls in the coke regions today. There has been
no disturbance of any kind. The first real
effort to start the works since the riot was made
this morning. By actual count there were
forty men at work and it was evident that the
majority of them were old employees, as thew
drew ut.good coke and did it in elegant shape.
The men were not interfered with in any way
while going to work. 1t seems that the strikers
are too badly frightened to disturb any one at
the present time. This condition of affairs is.
Of course, due to the soldiers. who have their
guns loaded with ball cartridges and seem to
have no fear Of putting ball into . man who
comes too close to the line.
WARRANTS ron THE RIOTERS.
Sheriff Clawson came over from Greensburg
this morning and was . very busy man. He
had warrants for twenty-five Of the rioters and
will probably have warrants for about fifty
more before the day is over. These warrants
are all placed in the hands of the
different constables and the deputies help in
the arrests. This was the lively day for the
different township officers, as they were ordered
to go ahead with the arrests Immediately, so
that the leaders OF the rioters will be safely
jailed before the soldiers leave here.
SIX ARRESTS MADE.
During the morning six men were arrested
and there was considerable trouble in securing
them. 1t has now become generally known
among the strikers that warrants are out for
the supposed leaders in the riot and they are
keeping themselves hid as much as possible.
Supt. Morris Ramsay returned from Green's
burg at ii O'Clock this morning and immedi-
ately went before the squire and swore out
warrants for the arrest of fifteen additional
Italians. These warrants we're placed in the
hands of the constables and it is expected be-
fore midnight at least thirty Of the rioters will
be in Jail.
AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
Sheriff Clawson had long conference with
Superintendent Ramsey of the Norwood works
and General Superintendent Lynch Of the
Prick interests this afternoon, and it seemed to
be OF great importance. but none Of the gentle
men would say much about it. The sheriff
stated that they had decided Oh a move that in
his opinion would put at rest all fears Of vio-
lence in the future.
1t is probable the eviction of tenants from
the companys houses will be commenced very
soon, possibly this week. At any rate it will be
done before the soldiers leave here and it is
believed that this was the cause of the confer
ence between the sheriff and the representative
of the operators.
Several car loads Of provisions were received
today and distributed among the strikers.
REPORTS FROM OTHER PLACES.
ScoTTDALE, Pa. April 6.-Col. Smith of the
acknowledgement, N G. P. A., reports the
strikers quiet and orderly throughout the coke
region today. Labor leaders today state that
the excitement among the strikers has SUBJ
sided and that they have not the remotest idea
Of any additional trouble.
The large and small coke-producing COM
panies made formidable efforts to do some work
at their plants throughout the region today.
General Manager Lynch of the II. c. Prick
Company reports a satisfactory start at Lessen
ring, No. 2, Jimtown Sterling, Adelaide and
Norwood.
The Jimtown plant Of Humphrey Co. and
Nellie plant of Cochran & Co. resumed to-
day, but not to their full capacity. The above
reported assumptions are denied at labor head

will ship fifty cars of coke today.
