Frank Cross Tommy Johnny Raphael
Cundo, Frank Ross and John Koragb, in-
citing to riot, oath of Frank Cavanaugh,
not guilty and prosecutor for costs. The de-
PENDANTS we're employed by Contractor VIM.
McAdams, at Morea, and quit work be-
cause their demand for an advance in wages
was not granted, For several days
the strikers u ed intmidating remarks 10
drive the other men away from the works
and when they tailed to accomplish their
purpose, they marched to the works in
body and attempted to use force. The
workmen had to quit work as they were
afraid Of their lives The Sheriff and
body of picked men we're summoned 10 the
works 10 protect the workmen but the stIi-
kers acted very peaceably, saying that all
they wanted was their Wages and if they
got that they would leave. MIR McAdams
refused to pay the Een on the ground that
he never paid off his hands before the reg
ular payday and when they heard his
ulimatum, some of the str ikers returned
to work while most Of them left.
| The Sheriff aud his party stood ready to
| enforce the law while this parley was in
| progress, but there vas no need of an
armed body, as the strikers were not In
| clIned to offer any resistance. Mr.. Nc
| Adams wanted the Sheriff to arrest the Iiug
leaders of the strike. This the Sheriff
| refused to do, a, ii was not in his line OF
duty to place men under arrest who were
not creating any disturbance. Neither
would the Sheriff serve a warrant which the
contractor had secured, as he claimed the
law did not empower him TO execute it,
1t was after the Sheriff and posse left the
place that a constable from Mahanoy City
served the wa rant and arrested the defend
ants at their shan ies in New Boston and
taken them to Jail The action of the
jury in acquittlng the men and placing the
costs on the prosecutor, who is employed
as time keeper by Mr.. McAdams, makes
it quite an expensive proceeding, as not
only must the contractor pay the Sheriff
and his posse heavy bill for services, but
there is the justice aud the constable and
the trial by jury all multiplying fees which
| involves an expense of several hundred dol
lars.
