second rock sailed after him. but went
wide of the mark.
As the Hungarian doubled his speed the
woman gave chase.
Indignation gave her speed and she soon

Not all of the miners wives acted as this
OIL had done. Two of them We're seen go
ing to the pit with dinner buckets in their
hands. A short time later they were seen
returning from the mine with two other
buckets. 1t was learned that the husbands

70 for thnr !, i,y
demonstration at Turtle Creek tonight
which Will be participated in by the Home
stead and Braddock steel workers. The
procession will be headed by fifty little
girls carrying empty flour sacks.
Ii Is the intention of the strikers to keep
up these demonstrations daily, and to
march to the mines every morning at an
early hour By this method they expect to
induce the few remaining men at work to
come out. No threats of violence have been

OF the miners. and confidently expect to
accomplish their purpose by this means
alone.
