low countrymau. who was on the outside
of the office where Lushka had been
trapped, gave the alarm and in a few
moments there was a bowling mob of
foreigners surrounding the place. Lushka
leaped through the office window, carrying
with him q pair of handouts. Several
shots were fred after him, but he escaped.
Tonight a warrant was placed in the
hands of Sheriff Mccormick, and with q
large posse Of men he started for Lessen
ring to make the arrest. Lushka and bis
companions are armed, and Il fight will
certainly follow unless the man is sur
prised.
Labor officials deny that the men at
Morewood were killed for good causes and

PTTTsBuRa, April News of the
riot at Morewood and the subsequent or
der from the governor calling out the 10th
and 18th regiments. created intense
excitement here. The 18th regiment
started for the scene OF trouble at G
o'clock this evening accompanied by two
companies of the 10th. Mr.. Fricke,
owner OF the Morewood plant, and the
largest coke operator in the county. said
this evening: This is no question of
wages, but only whether our men work
ing are to be shot down at midnight and
our property destroyed BY rioters. The
authorities must settle this and we will
know which is to rule-mobs or law"
As the men killed were all unnatural
lied foreigners. the possibility OF interna-
tional complications arising has been
freely discussed. Austrian Consul Shom-
berg received a dispatch this afternoon
from Parker, leader of the strikers. in
forming him that s'veral OF the men
killed we're subjects of Austria He re-
piled that he would investigate the mat
ter. but declined to talk further.
A striker named Dunn, who was among
the leaders of the rioters, said tonight
that he was with a body OF men on a
bridge and stopped to light a cigar. He
thinks the rumors of bombs had alarmed
the guards and that they took the light
ing of a match as a portent Of something
dangerous. Anyway, he says, they fired
directly toward where he stood and men
fell all around him. Another statement
made tonight was that Capt. Loar said he
was ordered to fire by Deputy Sheriff Me-
Donald. Any number of conflicting
stories are being told on both sides.
At least 5000 men are in the vicinity
of Mount Pleasant tonight and the feeling
generated by the appearance of several
companies of the 18th and 10Th regi-
ments is one OF security, both among the
strikers and citizens. The foreign ele-
ment. however. is very uneasy and there
is very plain talk among some of their
representative men that a higher power
than the state will be called in. They
intimate plainly that their mother
countries may have something to say as
to their treatment by the guards, whom
they say all belonged to the militia.
