Nhe bditor or Siavish Paper Declares
That His People Were Led Into the
Strike by the Irish and Germans, who
Want to Drive Them out
UN1oNTowN, Pa, April 1T has Just
been discovered that the strikers have
stolen 1000 pounds of dynamite from the
new reservoir being constructed on the
mountain east of Dunbar and great de
btruction of property is expected. The
dynamite was stolen while the workmen
on the reservoir were absent, the rioters
breaking open the storage house The rob
berry has caused great excitement in the
coke regions, and many believe prepare
tions are being made for a renewal of the
hostilities
President Davis, who is in Jail, said last
night he would not Withdraw his call for
today's convention, and requests the board
to report at the meeting and arrange for
continuance Of the strike. He, however,
condemns the rioting, and says it must be
stopped. An ugly feeling is developing
and there are indications that trouble will
break out anew after, if not before the
Scottdale convention today.
CoNNEL1sv1LLE, Pa, April 1.-The lead
ers Of the Slavs and Huns in this section
III eaNNA tAb Nllctt Allt hlIlht was illt ItNAlb
Of q conspiracy of the Irish and German
elements Of the region to get the Huns ex-
PEELED from the coke country, and they are
diligently spreading the news to all their
people in the region. The means by which
this is to be done is the present strike. The
Slavs and Huns were brought to this coun-
try under contract twelve years ago to
break strike, and since that time the
other nationalities allege the wages Of the
miners and cookers have speedily declined.
Julius Detatroy, president of n large
Slavish political club and editor of a Slav-
ish paper, said i'm an interview:
There is no doubt our people have been
deceived in this matter. The Irish and
Germans are anxious to get the Slsvish
people out of the coke regions, so they
will have all the work themselves. They
have melted them to acts of violence,
knowing that this would incense the
American citizens and work such hatred
for our people that they will be finally
driven back to Hungary. Our people are
led to believe that this is a free country,
and they are privileged to use violence if
necessary in fighting the operators Be
fore the strike ! told our people, through
my paper, not to strike until the English
speaking people went out first l ex-
planned to them that they were not citi-
zens, and should not go out first. 1 also
advised them to abstain from violence in
case the strike was declared"
Mr.. Detatroy further expressed the fear
that j 5. McCaleb the banker who failed
last September many Huns losing their
sayings at the time, was in danger Of as
sassination as threats have been made on
his life, Banker McCaleb is still in town
and says he does not fear any trouble. His
creditors, he says, understand that his
failure was not brought about for the pur-
pose of defrauding them, but was simply
the result of the hard times, and they will
do him no personal harm, The news Of
tho threats ON McCalcbs life has created
a Sensation here. He is very popular and
every one believes him to be thoroughly
honest In case of riot he will not be
deserted by his friends.
County Detective Campbell left for
| Broadford to trace down a rumor, which,
if substantiatcd, will throw the Davidson
rioters liable to conviction of murder in
the first de rec. 1t is said that before the
mob left Broadford to march to Davidson
| they were addressed by one of their lead
| ers, who told them to close down the
| Davidson works if every man employed
| there had to be killed to accomplish that
end. No one knows the name of the leader
who counseled them to this act of blood
| shed. McSloy, the fugitive agitator whofs
! wanted for the murder of Paddock, is
still in hiding
