Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. "a WellsviIle,
Ohio, dispatch says: Deeply enraged by
being outwitted by the mill officials,
who yesterday afternoon succeeded in
running in nine new mill workers into
the mill. the strikers became desperate
last night and asserted that no more
accessions must be made to the mill
workers. Accordingly more than a hun
bred of them guarded both entrances
to the mill all night. They made an
extra effort to be vigilant when the
midnight train from Pittsburg came to
town, but We're unable to locate any
more strike breakers. About 2 O'Clock
this morning they went to a house of
a mill worker named Harry Phillips.
Phillips wife boards three of the aen
who came here 3. few days ago to
work at the mill. The strikers pelted
the house with stones, breaking nearly
all the windows, and demanded that the
mill men who were boarding there
come out. Several shots were fired
with revolvers by the men, but no one
was hurt Mrs. Phillips is a piuchy wo-
man. and armed with a gun she went
out into the crowd of strikers and
dared them to touch her She then
took the men who were boarding with
her, including her husband to the mill,
she walking beside them with loaded
revolver in her hand. and at the same
time daring the strikers to interfere
She got the four men inside the mill,
and then turned and put the mob, as
she calls them, to rout. She says that
she knows many of them, and viii
have them arrested today.
Some interesting Developments are
1oked for before Monday. The plant is
now running Eve of its mills, four of
them double and one of them single

that the mill will be running in full
capacity by Monday.
