Women Head 1000 Marchers to the
Works-Men Walk Out.
HAzELToN, Pa, Oct 6.-Nearly 1900
strikers with so women and girls
marched into Lattimer early this morn
ing and completely tied up the two col
lieries of Calvin Pardee g Co., located
at that place. 1t was the greatest march
that has taken place during the strike.
Sheriff Halsey and posse was at Lat
timer when the strikers arrived. There
was no disturbance of any kind. 1t was
the most exciting day that Lattimer has
had since the tragedy of three years ago.
The women, including Mother"
Jones, were conveyed in wagons, while
the men walked. 1t was little before
6 O'CLOCK when they entered Lattimer,
headed by a fife and drum corps and the
women. The leader of the women, who
was pretty Polish girl carried large
American flag. They marched and coun-
ter marched on the Lattimer public road
until 2 o'clock when the whistles blew
in the cellieries. Then they cheered
loudly as they saw that hardly any one
went to work,
Another cheer was heard in the dis
tanoe and another line of marchers from
the northside, who had gathered on the
opposite side Of town, burst through the
ftfther end Of the company's property
about half a mile away. They came
streaming In by the hundreds and
rushed down the company's railway,
thence across the strippings and joined
the southside force on the public road
on the very spot where the % marchers
were shot by the deputies in 1897. While
the men were running across the COM
pany's property it looked as if the lead
ers Of the strikers would lose control of
the men and they too would break and
overrun the private grounds, but they
were held in check.
The combined forces after short rest
formed two by two and, with the
women and girls in the lead, started on
@ parade through the town. The women
marchers called the Lattimer men black
| legs and other hard names, while those
thus assailed remained mute for fear of
| being attacked. This was kept up until
| s O'Clock, when the marohers began to
| leave for their various home towns.

| collieries there was no change in the
situation in this district today. No ad-
