lied miners of this district, in session
near Kilgore, decided to use force if
necessary to prevent the further de-
livery of coal to local mills and fur

pit lamps left here for Duquesne, bent
upon destruction. When the mob
reached Duquesne it had increased to
5000 strikers and sympathizers. With
yelb they attacked the Duquesne tube
works, drove all the men at work out
of the plant, drew the fires and ran
the hot metal from the furnaces out
on the floors The reason the strikers
