lions to This Eject.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., September o.

Council of the American Federation OF
Labor. the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved. That we declare that the at
tack of Sheriff Martin and his deputies
at Latimer. on the marching miners, theh
on strike. was a brutal, unproyoked mas
sacre. inspired by the coal operators OF
that section, 10 defeat the demands OF
the men for better conditions.
"Resolyed. That the ever-ready use In
late years of court injunctions. armed
forces. and the State militia In times OF
trouble, is only part of the insiduous pro-
gramme TO entirely subjugate the WORK
ers OF America to the most debaslng deg
re dalton.
'Resolved, That we condemn most
severely the wanton killing and wounding
of the poor miners at Latimer, anu WIZ
give our fullest help through the trades
Unions and the American Federation or
Labor TO raise money for the legal prose-
cution and conviction OF Sheriff Martin
and his murderous mlnions, that through

INQUEST INTO DEATHS.
UAZL,ETON. PA. September 3.-Coro-
ner Mckee this afternoon began the In
quest into the deaths OF the scores or
striking miners who were shot by a
posse OF Sheriff's deputies at Latimer. "A
tyo-hours' session was held, during
which q score Of witnesses were eX-
amined.
There were present on the occasion an
array of attorneys, and they OCCASIONAL
ly suggested questions to the coroner.
II. A. Fuller, OF Wilkesbarre. appeared
for the Coroner; State-Chairman Gar
man. John McGahren, and b. ii. Laugh
lin for the prosecution, and George H.
Troutman, Of Hazleton, for the deputies.
Dr. Theodorovich, secretary or the
Austro-Hungarian consulate at Philadei-
phat. and II. ID. Cox, attorney for the
consulate, were also present.
Nearly all the testimony adduced was
a repetition of that brought out at the
hearing of the deputies at Wikesbarre.
Most of the witnesses We're foreign
strikers. who were in the march halted
by the deputies deadly fusillade. They
gave the details of the ARRAY as already
published. and all declared that none OF
the strikers were armed; that Sheriff
Martin pulled a revolver on them, but
no one attempted to take 1t from him;
that no violence had been offered that
official, and that the miners had no IN
tention OF making an unlawful demon
stration.
The hearing will be resumed to-mor-
row.
COLLIERIES ALL WORKING.
The strike situation remains unchanged
to-day except for the return to work OF
those Harwood miners who were afraid
to go back yesterday. Every colliery In
the region worked, and there was not
the slightest disorder anywhere.
The question OF the withdrawal or the
militia remains undetermined, but that
II will begin before the end OF the week
is felt by those at headquarters to be
almost a certainty.
