CoSSELI.svILLE, Pa, April There
is not so much certainty to-day that the
coke strike has collapsed, and it would
not be a surprise to hear ofan outbreak
in any part of the region. Meetings
We're held at many of the works last
midnight and telephone reports of the
meetings give assurance that the
strikers, at least. are not willing to give
up the contest. Over 500 strikers con
gregated at Percy last night. The
speakers at the meeting advised the
men to stand firm, but warned them
against destruction Of life and property.
Largely attended meetings were also

Uniontown. At each Of these places
there was not the slightest evidence Of
wavering on the part of the working
men and the operators have no fear of
further violence. The operators believe
The strike is settled. Rainey's general
office at Vanderbilt reports everything
quiet throughout the night and no
strikers in sight. The company, how
ever, retain large number OF deputies
