A dispatch from La Sale, H.. says that
the anarchists rule the coal strike in that
whole region. The Huns, Poles and
Italians, all or nearly all aliens and repre-
senting the lowest foreign elements, "have
complete possession of the field" cow
American workers, do not admit them to
their strike meets, conduct their assem-
blies in foreign tongues, and openly
preach destruction and lawlessness.
Isaac Pearson a striker, who said he had
wrought in the mines OF LaSalle county
above thirty years. leaned over the gate IN
front of his little cottage.
Il am a striker" he said, "but 1 am an
American, and have no sympathy Tor these
lawless foreigners. They were brought in here
by the operators within the last two or three
years, and now they outnumbe Der the AInefl-
can miners. We are ignored by them. They
go ahead and drag the stars and stripes in the
gutter and we are powerless 10 prevent IL
They riot and revel and destroy property, ana
we are blamed for 1t; Ihey hold their an
arohistic meetings and plot and plan TO COM
init acts OF laWlessness, and we cannot learn
from them what they intend to do and SO
cannot warn the officers of the law Even IL
we could the officers OF the law are as power,
less as we to interfere. Anarchy rules here"
NJ. A. Davis, George Wilson and dozen
other miners were seen, and they all toid the
same stOry-the anarchists ruled
A number Of instances were given where
American miners dared oppose the methods
of the anarchists, and the Americans were
beaten into 1nsenslbllty.
It was in this town of 10000 inhabitants
that Sheriff Taylor and two deputies were
shot and seriously wounded a few days
ago by these alien rioters, and here, too,
was the place where the mob effected
general Jail delivery and paraded the
streets shouting "Vivs PAnarchie."
In the Hun-P Pole-Italian region in
Pennsylvania the situation is even worse.
The scum not only rules. but tyrannically
SO. The New York Herald is authority
for the statement that in some counties 1t
is impossible to punish for murders
among the people, or for other IaWless-
ness, because the witnesses invariably
become stupid, and respond only with
''Me no know" much as our Chinese do
when there is fight among themselves.
The great mass of these Huns, Poles
and Italians were imported to under-cut
and displace American workers. The
Italians are, of the three, least offensive
and live under conditions degree more
civilized, but most of the classes referred
to herd together in close quarters. live in
disregard of the common decencies OF
life. and are brutal, quarrelsome and
heartless In their local issues, and when
in liquor or anger they are like wild ami
mails, mereiless, careless of human life
and even heartless toward their own
dead, often deeming dead human being
of too little account to be considered
worth even burial.
All these people. say the Eastern news
paper correspondents sent into their
quarters to ascertain the facts, are con-
temptuous of our laws, have but faint
ideas concerning our Government or
American institutions, despise American
Workmen and entertain anarehistic sen"
timents. Not a few of them preach Vio-
lence, anarchy and revolution, simply
because they consider the Government OF
the republic to be q thing to be downed
along with all other orderly organiza-
tions, because it imposes some restraint
upon individual action.
How long the American people pro-
pose to put up with these non-sssimils-
tive classes and their outrageous conduct
remains to be seen. We do not believe
that the time is far distant when these
people will be rounded up and looked
after in way to compel respect for the
law they now despise and defy. 1t will
be even a shorter time when the bars will
be put up strong and high against the
importation of this kind of human cattle.
We have neither use nor room for these
creatures, nor energies to expend in the
attempt to transform them into civilized
beings.
