BATTLE WITH STRIKERS.

Ugly State of Affairs In the Pennsylvania
 Coke Regions-Women and Children
 Lead a Riot.
 SCoTTDALE, Pa, May 5.-The north end of the Connellsville coke region was in fever of fear, excitement and anxiety last night The terrible work at the Painter plant of the Mcclure company, bad as it was in itself is feared still more as foreshadowing the beginning of times and conditions that are inevitable unless this strike is speedily settled The battle yester- day was between striking Poles, a small number of deputies and compara- lively few men at work at the Painter plant Deputy Sheriff Sanford White and Chief Clerk Ewing B. Roody were terribly beaten, and are in criti- cal condition. Five men and two women on the strikers side were shot, and two of the men dangerously. Fifty six of the rioters have been arrested, and are now confined in the Uniontown jail.
 The Painter plant was closed down by the strikers on the 24th ult, and was idle until Wednesday last Early yesterday morning Joe Sconesky's wife went about to the other houses and got the women of the striking Poles to join her in raid on the plant About 6 o'clock she had 150 men, women and , children in the ranks ready for a raid.
 The men remained in the rear, and the women and children, led by Mrs. Sconesky made a rush for the coke yard. The region has seen many savage affairs in which women unsexed themselves by deeds of cruel violence, but the old timers say that never be- fore has there been seen such spec tacle as this Every person in the assaulting party had some sort of striking weapon, even the children, screaming as they fourished sticks, suited to their size. Many of the women bore axes, and some of the men of the mob carried ball bats and hatchets.
 Superintendents White and Roody, assisted by dozen of deputies, stood guard and when the mob came with a rush, White fired into its ranks A Hungarian woman fell with bullet in her thigh. Maddened by this the mob, which numbered couple of hundred, closed in on the deputies who. driven into close quarters and blinded by the shower of missiles, were unable to use their Winchesters After emptying their revolvers they fled and the mob surrounded White and Roody. A burly Hungarian att tackled the latter with hatchet fell ing him to the ground, and was about to deal the death blow, when James Tarr knocked the Hungarian down with club. White was dragged into the engine house to escape the fury of the strikers. By this time the deputies rallied, and three volleys were fired in quick succession. forcing the mob to retreat over the hill in utter route. A number of strikers were carried from the battlefield, and it is believed they were killed. Dr. w. H. Cole, the company physician, stated that fifteen strikers went down in the three charges Three men and one woman were carried of the ground after the first charge, and when the mob finally retreated they bore away at least ten more. Three of them were left near the works One of these was shot | through the thigh, another through both legs and third had bad wound l in the proin

GIGANTIC FAKE.

The recent exposure of an alleged Chi
nese smuggling ring by the New York
Whirled, extending from Washington
to Tampa. Fla, and from Eastport, Me.
to Los Angeles, CAL" is, as was to have
been expected from its source, agigantic
fake. based upon the veriest nothings.
Advices from Washington state that
Colonel b. B. Smalley, collector of the
port at Burlington, VT, was at the
treasury department yesterday, and had
an interview with Secretary Carlisle in
the matter of the sensational charges
recently published in New York to the
effect that Chinese have been
improperly admitted from Canada
to the United States in viola
tion of law. Collector Smalley said
that he did not believe that any of his
subordinates had violated their duty or
the law, as the article had intimated, and
that IL blame attaches to anyone he is
himself unquestionablY to blame; but
Colonel Smalley emphatically denied
that the law had been violated or that
there had been any irregularities.
The chief deputy of Collector Smalley
is Colonel Greenleaf. a Republican, who
has been in cffice many years. and who
is in charge of the custom house in the
absence of Colonel Smalley. Colonel
Greenleaf has charge of all Chinese i'm
migration. Colonel Smalley said that
the permission to enter could only have
been given by himself, and he relieves
Colonel Greenleaf of any responsibility
whatever In the matter.
1t is learned from another source that
the Secretary Of the Treasury attaches
little Importance to the story, and sees
no reason to believe that Canada is the
headquarters of a Chinese smuggling
ring.
The Whirlod better confine its efforts
at sensationalism to globe trotting and
sich like, for its recent article throwing
discredit ON the whole customs service
was Q contemptible piece Of business.

THE STRIKE OVER.

The strike, as The News predicted
Mo nday, is at an end, and trains are
being run on time, and violence is rapidly
disappearing. save in California, where
the most dastardly outrage Of the whole
strike took place yesterday. when train
was sent through bridge by the loosen
ing Of the fastenings of rail, and now
under the wreck in ooze and slime lie
the bodies of the engineer and three SOL
diers who were guarding him, while
three men are badly, il not fatally, in
jured.
The outrage has so incensed the troops
that they are ;mpatiently waiting for an
opportunity to revenge this fearful out
rage and there will. be- many dead strik-
ers in California IL the troops are here
after molested.
But this incident may in spite of its
horrible nature have tendency to stop
riot and disorder just where it is. The
rioters now realize that the troops will
not only fire on them, but that they have
a personal motive as well as the orders
Of their officers in SO doing, fearing that
they may themselves be the next victims.
In other places there seems TO be
little to fear from collisions between the
troops and the strikers or those acting
in sympathy with the strikers. From
every section comes reports Of the re-
opening of lines, of men going back to
work and Of traffic resuning it's normal
conditions.
There may yet be outbreaks here and
there, but on broad tines the strike may
be conceded az being at an end.

over their barks2 No is the answer to every
question.
Soldiers are called out in such crises for one
purpose. and that is to prevent the mobs made
up of strikers and their sympsthirers from
committing outrages and depredationA The
sight OF soldiers must always BE- the signal TO
all people who reason honestly that the strike
proper. or original conflict between employers
and employed, has been swallowed up In law
less assault upon some simple agd unquestion-
able right which must ever bs upheld In the
face OF any and ell difficulty, whether claimed
by thousands or BY one single citizen. The
Governments doosnr deal with individuals

But as is seen in the example given
above labor alone does not create the
wealth even when furnished with album

SOME THINGS TO BE CONSIDERED.

Mayor Pingree's officiousness has re-
suited as was to be expected. The Pull
man Company declined to accede to his
request to arbitrate. saying that it has
no differences to adjust. Now il all
other we'll meaning busybodies will keep
hands of, the trouble that has
recently plunged the whole country
into disorder will soon be at an end.
The Pullman Company may have accu-
mulated millions, but if a concern is
compelled to run its works at loss
because it has made money in times past,
business enterprises will soon languish
from want Of capital, and whether a
concern has made millions or hundreds
only the same rule will apply. The idea
of Socialists seems to be that the man
who has made dollar is robber IL he
doesn't give 1t up Mt the demands of his
workmen. Labor created the wealth
they claim. Well, let us see about that.
Two concerns start in business at the
same time, manufacturing the same kind
of goods, employing the same grade of
labor and having the same amount of
capital, the conditions, so far as
material conditions 90, being iden-
ticaI. At the end Of ten years one
concern shows handsome profit, and
the other Is In the hands of a receiver.
II labor created the wealth they would
both be In the same condition, for the
employees in both concerns have worked
faithfully.
The fact Is there is something needed
to obtain business success besides labor
and capital, and that is business ability.
Without this latter element neither labor
nor capital can make any progress, and
neither can accumulate wealth without
1t. Thus the management Of q big con-
cern has not only 70 furaish the ospltal
