THEY FIGHT AGAIN.


Hazleton. Pa, Oct. 1I.-A special po-
liceman was instantly killed. another
was wounded in the head, striker
was probably fatally shot and ten nom
union men were more or less seriously
wounded at the Oneida colliery of
Coke Bros. in a clash between the Of
ficers and 500 strikers Wednesday
morning.
The Oneida colliery having been in
operation since the inauguration OF
the strike, the union men at Oneida
and sheppton, where many OF the EN-
ployes of the Oneida and Derringer
coiiieries of Coke Bros. & Co. live. de-
cided early Wednesday morning to
close down the mine. They gathered
in groups on the streets as early as
three o'clock. As the nonunion men
went TO work they were asked by the
strikers TO remain at home. Some
turned back, others did not. Those
who went 10 the colliery we're stoned.
The strikers remained at the col
lierv all morning As the small mine
locomotive used in hauling coal from
the No. 2 and No. collieries TO the
Oneida breaker pulled up on the road
near the latter colliery crowd OF
women blocked the track. The wom-
en- were told by General Superintend-
ent Kudleck to go home. He assured
them that their husbands would get
an increase in wages and that their
other grievances would be properly adj
iusted. The women refused to listen
and stoned the superintendent, who
was wounded in the head. Then the
striking men and the women rushed
toward the No. Q colliery. A force of
about so special policemen who had
been brought down from Beaver
Meadow to prevent trouble attempted
to intercept the mob, but they were
powerless to do anything and retired
to the engine house.
Just as the officers got close to
shelter a shot was fired. This was
followed by another, and in few
seconds many shots rang through the
air. Policeman Mills was the first to
/ fall. Then Joseph Lesko, striker,
staggered to the ground. No one
knows who shot first, but it Is believed
that both the strikers and the officers
used their weapons.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 11.-Thousands
OF striking mine workers marched in
review through the crowded streets
of this city Wednesday and showed
their loyalty to the cause for which
they have been battling for the past
three weeks. Not only did the strik-
ers manifest loyalty to their prin-
ciples. but showed the confidence they
had in their leader, John Mitchell,
who came here 90 participate in the
parade and to address the men in
mass meeting.
