ly subordinate to the sheriff at this

today were the death of another

and Mike Cheasloke. Ten more will be
buried tomorrow, and here the trouble
is likely to occur. 1t has been ar
ranged that the ten coffins shall be
carried on the shoulders of the strikers
from the undertaker's shop to the front
of ST. Josephs church. In front of the
church platform is to be erected, upon
which it is the purpose to place the ten
coffinS so that they can be viewed by
the crowd. Then addresses are to be
made by priests and others. The bodies
will be carried inside and pontifical high
mass will be celebrated. After the SER
vice the procession will go to the Po-
lish cemetery, where eight collins will
be placed in a large grave It is the

monument bearing the names of the
victims and a brief history OF the
