MOUNT PLEASANT Pa.), April All
is quiet here to-day. The streets are de-
serted, most of the Huns having quietly de-
parted for Scottdale during the night.
The coke company is not ma king any eff
fort to get men to fill the places of the
strikers.
A peculiar feature of the ituation is that
although the men have been out of work for
over one month they still seem to have con-
siderable money, and from outward ap-
pearances are not suffering from anything.
In the Mount Pleasant Bank there is
large list of deppsitors whose savings range
from $50 to $1,000. OF this money very little
has been Withdrawn. How these people
live without drawing money it is difficult for
Americans to understand. To those who
have no money labor organizations furnish
small sums.
The strike is likely to continue inde fnteIy.
Tie feeling among the strikers is in
tensey bitter, but they are caref III to COM
nit no overt act and content themselves
with sc0wlng at the militia, murmuring in
unintelligible tongues.

composed the crowds, they will prove vipers
10 the men who did the shoot ng. There is

There is no doubt the strikers are determined
to wreak vengeance eventually upon the
people responsible for the death of their
cOuntrymen.

seven victims of the Morewood sho otng ar

There were fully 5000 people at the depot,
but scarcely half of this number went to
the cemetery, and n large majority of those
that did follow the remains were Poles,
Slavs and Hungariaus. American flags
were conspicuous, and number of deega-

Fathers Lambng and Sehmeigle con-
Quoted the funeral services according to the
rites OF the Catholic Church, and Father
