UNioSTowS, Pa, May 2i.-The long
threatened attack by the striking miners
on the pits Of the Washington Coal q Coke
company at Sickle Hollow, Mononeahcla
river. was mado this morning, involving
another Of the grim tragedies that chnrac-
terize this irrepressible conflict. The situa-
tion is one Of excitement and Of dread
uncertainty.
To-nigh. four strikers arc lying dead
and double that number are badly
wounded, some of them mortally. The
wounded men vino fell under the first vol
ley were taken of the field by the retreat
ing strikers, aud even now the actual
number of wounded is not definitely
known, their friends having the strongest
motive for concealing them.
1t is perhaps too soon 10 place the re.
sponsibility for the killing. The strikers
furnished all the dead men, not deputy
being fatally hurt. and only three of them
wounded. The fight occurred at a public
roadway, leading TO tho Sickle Hollow
plants.
Tho deputies had specific orders. and il
is admitted the company had conveyed to
them directions TO shoot TO kill.
