FOUI. STRIKERS SHOT DEAD.
Another bloody Conflict with Dep
uticS i'm the Coke Region.

utltS III tIe >Okc region.
U%niontown. Pa. special: The long
threatened attack by striking miners
On the pits Of the Washington Coal
and Coke Company at Sticklehollow
has been made. The fight was II OF
the tiercest in the history OF mining
troubles and has created a feeling OF
most intense excitement and dreaded
uncertainty. -Four strikers are dead
and double that number are badly
wounded, some of them mortally. That
the deputies fired on the men absO-
lutely without prOvOctaiOn that would
warrant the use of deadly weapons.
and that some of the killings We're par
ticularly cruel and unjustitiable. is
one version. Then there is equally
abundant testimony to show that the
deputies simply defended themselves
and their charge from the rushing as
sault Of an armed and b~loodthirsty
mob.
The latest and most reliable version
of the fight is AS follows: shortly be-
fore midnight 1000 striker. assembled
at the Sickle Hollow Plants. coming
from Lucyville. fayette City. Free
port. Allenport and many other points
on the Monongahela River. some OF
them We're armed. but the ma orlty
were not. They ven into camp nea,
the plant, where they remained until
3o'clock. when they adjourned to the
public road leading to the works and
over which the workmcn would have
TO pass to the pit. Here they worked
Il line of defense TO interrupt the
workmen and attempt to get them TO
return home. 1t l. stated that when
the workmen came up to the strikers
in the public roads they we're asked to
90 home and we're about TO comply
with the command when the deputies
rushed into the midst of the men. got
possession of the workmen II
marched them to the pit. In this
part of the performance a deputy
sheriff fired a shot which opened up
the battle. Nolley after volley was
fired by each side at close range. The
strikers stood their ground, while
their comrades were falling one by
one, bat. their ammunition giving out
and it requiring too much time to load
the ~shotguns. they we're forced to give
up the fight and flee to escape the
rain If bullets from the fifty Win
chesters. 1t is said the strikers We're
advancing on the line OF deputies
when the latter fired the first shot.
The company officials say that the
strikers served notice on them that
they expected to assault the works. and
acting on this information the deputies
considered this Interference with the
workmen as the beginning OF the
assault and for that reason fired on
them.
The latest news from the scene of
the trouble says that the strikers have
ali gone and that the situation is again
peaceful. The workmen have not
gone to work. but are willing to do SO
as soon IT, the excitement subsidies.
