NEW THEORY ADVANCED.
Deputies Were Among Those Ousted
by Hungarians Years Ago.
An official of the Treasury Department
VINO knows every foot of ground around
Hazieton, Pa. and who is fully acquainted
With the coalition of affairs there, fur
nishes a new and startling theory regard
ing the recent shooting of miners. He said
I" Star reporter: II think when all the
iacts come cut In regard to the shooting
1t VIII be found that the officers who did
the shooting have covered a revenge of
years under the wings of the law. I re-
member when. twelve or fifteen years ago,
the section around Hazleton was settled
oy harc-working and honest Irishmen.
Welshmen, Englishmen Germans and
Americans. They worked in the mines and
dld well. Many of them owned their own
nomesErretty little cottages on the hill
sides, surrounded by outhouses for the
cattle and chickens. They had good gar
dehs, hcgs, chickens, ETC., and happiness
seemed to smile on all. There were no
strikes, and the morality Of the neighbor-
the Hungarians and the Poles and the
class OF foreigners which now have control
OF these neighborhoods. 1t was only
question OF few years when these for
eigners. by accepting smaller wages, ran
the others out. / knew several Irishmen
who vowed they would not leave, but they
could not stand the situation long, and
tney went away to other states, in many
instances having to sell their little homes
to pay their debts and to get away on.
This naturally caused bitter feeling, a
feeling which exists to this day, and one
which caused many vows of revenge. The
1rishmen and Americans are now in filthy
condition. occupied by two and three fam
HES OF Hungarians and Poles. Instead of
clean beds there are hunks ranged along
the walls, and many as four people
sleep in small room.
In that band of deputies which encoun-
tered the marching miners a few days ago
were many men who remember the change
from the scores of years ago. Their hearts
have been full of revenge. When the op-
pcrtunity presented itself they seized 1t,
with the horrible result too well known.
They shot to kill. because their relatives
and friends had been made paupers by
these people.
81 do not approve of the shooting but I
believe the facts will reveal what 1 have
