UNIoNTowN, Pa. May 11.-Not since the
beginning of the strike not even in con-
nection with the wild scenes attending
the killing of Engineer Paddock. has there
been such excitement as is now develop
ing in this region, particularly in the
southern end, or Fayette county section.
The introduction of outsiders to take the
place Of the striking cokeworkers has been
commenced. The strikers, especially the
Slavs and Poles are simply furious. They
were startled and enraged last night by
the actual appearance of an advance guard
of imported foreigners, who have been run
into the Morewood plant of the H. C.
Frick Coke company. They are engaged
to go to work at the old rates, and most
of them are reported as inexperienced men,
There were hundred men in the com
pany.
1t is generally believed that the hurried
preparations being made, that are keep
ing the strikers up and alert, look to an
attack in such force that the deputies on
guard will be sweptaway in case the new
men go to work The situation is alarm
ing, as 10000 men are expected at Scott
dale, and it is not probable the leaders
will be able to keep them within bounds.

DENVER, Colo, Dec. lion the floor
of Odd Fellows hall there gathered
hundreds of representatives of the bone
and sinew, the muscle and the energy
Of the toiling millions Of the United
States. They were the delegates to the
fourteenth annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor, and
among them was represented every
trade and every industry Of the New
World. 1t was al assemblage of fine
looking, brainy, intellectual representa-

the mind of John Burns and his asso-
ciates from the old country. The hall
was handsomely decorated with flags
and banners of the local labor organiza-
tons, several hundred members Of
which occupied the galleries.
Promptly at 10 o'clock President
Samuel Gompers, P. J. Mcclure and
w. H. Marden mounted the rostrum,
escorting the English labor members Of
parliament who have come to this
country as fraternal delegates from the
organized labor of England. Their ap-
pearance was the signal for uproarious
and prolonged applause, the delegates
rising and continuing the enthusiastic
greeting for several moments.

Thomas M. Patterson of Denver was
introduced and delivered an address on
'Labor's Rough, but Noble Struggle"
The speaker, ever eloquent and inter-
esting, was at his best, and his define
alton of the industrial conditions of the
past and present was received with fire.
quent applause.
One of the changes in the situation
from the past he attributed to the in.
crease Of corporations. He said that
while the individual employer might
feel a sympathy for his employees, the
corporation could entertain no such
emotion. The action of the federal
government in the Pullman strike was
denounced as tyrannical. The general
managers association he said should
have been held responsible for the de-
lays of the mails. Capital, he said,
controlled the situation either by in
fuencing elections or by purchasing
the members Of national and state
Legislatures.
A vote of thanks was given to Mr..
Patterson at the conclusion Of his ad-
dress, after which the convention
adjourned until 2 o'clock.
