PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec. 2-That
the Lehgh strike has assumed a serious
aspact. is shown by the statement issued
here tonight by General Manager Noor-
bees. in which he charges the strikers
with having caused the disastrous White
Haven wreck this morning. The statement
says:
"The accident at White Haven was
caused by strikers pulling pins on freight
train that stopped in front Of the station.
The engineer made several attempts 70
start the train and each time found that
it broke I'm fresh places. There was so
much detention resulting from this, that
before the train got away the following
train ran into the rear and caused the
collision"

failed to release the brakes, with the re-
suit that the train parted in three places.
The engineer sped away with a portion
of the train, leaving the other cars be-
