RIOTOUS COKE WORKERS
THEY WILL RULE On NUN.
The Csaasasvails Rsgasa In Pssasyivania

aAa vbsleace-

Al the result Of the striking Of many
thousand coke workers there is a
reign Of terror in the Connelsville dis
trict in Pennsylvania. The strike
took effect on the second and rioting
commenced almost Immediately. Most
Of the strikers are foreigners Of the
more ignorant class who have no re-
gard whatever for law or the rights Of
others.
Dispatches from Uniontown on the
4th said:
1t would take columns to tell in de-
tail the exciting events Of to-day in
the Connelsville region. At least
nine lives have been sacrificed during
the past twelve hours. Unless the
strong arm of the military interferes
the dead will be counted by scores by
tomorrow.
The rioting began early this morn
ing, but the climax was not reached
until 3 o'clock this afternoon when q
body Of strikers numbering several
hundred marched on the Davidson
works of the II. G. Frick Coke Com
pany at Connelsville. Fayette county,
where men were working. When the
strikers approached they were ordered
to stop. They came on and tried to
get at the men at the ovens. The
deputies fred; the strikers returned
the fire and charged, driving the depu
ties and men from the plant.
j. H. Davidson, the chief enginee,
was struck on the head by stone ant
then beaten to death. His body wal
thrown into an oven and an attemp,
made to burn it. Before this was &C
complished the deputies returned with
reinforcements and drove the mer
away. They overlook the strikers
half mile from Davidson and opened
fire on them. The strikers fred in re
turn, but ran on. -Four strikers fell,
two being killed and two others fatally
wounded.
All of the efforts Of the deputie,
and more level headed citizens wer,
required to prevent the lynching o.
eleven strikers who were taken to Con
nelsville. The law-abidins element
had their way and at 8 o'clock Especial
train arrived with sixty-four Of the
mob who killed Paddock.
At Alverton the coke drawers at the
Denny coke plant were attacked by {
riotous mob Of sixty Hungarian wo
men, armed with revolvers, clubs and
pokers. The men hastily retreated
but were followed by the triumphant
mob. Men were knocked down and
dinner buckets and coke forks were
thrown into the ovens.
A similar scene was enacted at the
Mayfeld and Donnelly plants on the
Mount Pleasant branch. Here one
Hungarian was killed.
