oo Ss.AA'0 SsFiNe Led ny Their Wives Charge
Upon the Deputies.
UN1oNTowN, Pa, May Z. Friday
was . day Of bullets and axes and
the widest lawlessness reigned. In
daylight battle at the Painter
plant fifteen Hungarians were shot,
several fatally, and at least threa
dead comrades are thought tn have

both are lying at the point Of death.
Sixty-three Slavs are now IN Jail
charged with rioting.
BY contract with the Mcclure com.
pany thirty work men reported for duty
at the Painter mines. The report
spread among the. strikers and about
day break they began gathering on the
common. There were many women in
the crowd.
A charge was made with the women
in front, the men daring the deputies
to opensfre on them. They werc soon
in the yards, regardless Of the presence
of the deputies, and sweeping every
thing before them.
In the first conflict fully ten Hungari-
ans fell to the ground and were, car
ried away to their settlement, while a
great many were injured by flying mis-
siles. The sight of the wounded and
the dying falling at their sides only in-
furiated the mob, which rushed on the
deputies like wild men and women.
Deputy Sheriffs Mat Allen and John
Richards took posse of deputies and
started at once for the scene Of the
riots. They found the men and wom-'
en- all in the houses, and without meet.
ing the least opposition arrested sixty
three Of those who composed thesmob.
They were brought to Jail here under
the protection of twenty-five Win
chesters. In the gang of prisoners
were twelve women and ten children.
At the time Of the trouble thirty men
were at work, all OF whom have since
quit. The works are idle.
