day, as the result of refusal of their
demands for higher wages.
Charles Kunde, John Davis, William
McComb, Jacob Ritter and James
Harrison were arrested yesterday af-
ternoon for melting a riot, and ar
ranged before Alderman Myron Kas-
son.
Their hearing was continued to =
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The sec
ton affected by the strike lies between
South Scranton and Moosic, and the
number of men out is about one-third
the entire number employed in the
construction work. The company eX-
poets to have the majority of hands
back at work today, as many of the
men who stopped work yesterday
stated that they did so under coercion.
The difficulties began Tuesday after
noon on division No. l. which is being
looked after by Contractor M. II. Hale.
The men there, about $50 in number,
are working at the No. plains In
South Scranton. The company officials
claim that few days ago they hired
some of the men who We're accustomed
to doing better class of work, but
are now out of employment. Tuesday
noon these men demanded higher
wages from Foreman d. r. Nichols,
asking that the daily rate be increased
from $l,25 to sl.50 Their request was
refused and, with a large number of
the other men, they threw down their
tools and quit work.
Yesterday morning a number of the
hands reported for duty and were
busied With their work when they
We're saluted by showersof stones.

The missiles came thick and fast, and
at last the men We're literally driven
from their tasks.
While the company officials declare
it was the strikers who did the stone
throwing, the men arrested yesterday
say it was not and claim that num-
ber of irresponsible youngsters We're to
blame for the rioting,
About 10 o'clock, however, the strik-
ers formed in line and, with impro-
vised flags waving, marched down to
the second division, whose men are in
charge of Contractor Page. They per-
suaded the workers on this division to
desist, partly through sympathy. part
ly through threats and partly, it is
said, through an attack with stones.
There are four other divisions between
here and Pittston, each I'm charge of a
contractor, but none of these was vis-
tied.
The company swore in large num-

kunde, who was boss of the division
No. | gang, and led the march to the
second division, was arrested yester-
day afternoon. He was accused of
having waved a red flag at the head or
the procession and given utterance to
many infiammatory remarks. Davis,
McComb, Ritter and Harrison ap-
peared at the hearing to testify in his
behalf and warrants were there served
upon them.
John r. Lee, the general contractor
in charge of the entire work. went over
the two divisions yesterday afternoon
and as result of his inspection the
statement was last night made that
work would be resumed this morning.
The strike was limited to the labor
ers, as large number of blasters and
drillers remained at work on both di-
visions.
