ROW AT THE MINES
,5OO Workers Blockaded Ap-
 breaches to the Washery.
ACT OF HUNGARIAN WOMAN

Almost Precipitated Riot--She Pu1Il ed the Hat From the Head of Ona of the Foremen-Six Armed Depu- ties Guarding the Grassy Island Washery Warned Not to Come Too Close to the Mei
 scranton, Pa, May zO.-FIIreen nun< dred mine workers at Olyphant this morning made the first serious demon- stiation since the strike began in the IackaWanna valley. Their onslaught
 was directed against the Grassy Island
 washery of the Delaware &s Hudson
 company ill the northern part of the town. The approaches were blockaded to such an extent that District Superin- incident Sarge and a number of fore-
 men rom the company's nearby mines
 found 1t impossible to make their waV through the lines and were forced to- retreat down the railroad tracks with
 hoots. catcalls and some flying mis- sles following them. A Hungarian
 woman jumped in among the foremen and snatching the hat from the head or one hurled it into a muddy pool.
 yelling wildly as she did so. Her ac+, tlon almost precipitated trouble and only through the determined effort or some of the strike leaders was she dragged away and made to keep quiet
 While this demonstration was going on six armed deputies who had come up from the washery, were warned not to approach too near and warned that they had better go back to the wash- cry. As no company official was pres- ent to direct their movements they acted on the suggestion and retreated.
 Superintendent Sarge and his fore- man came to Scranton with General
 Superintendent Rose. The company officials say they are determined to operate the washery and the Olyphant strikers say they are just as deter. mined that it shall not be operated.

The bride was pops ular employe of the Reid S Hughes store and the groom is the chief engi- neer Tt Benedict & Burnham's.

CaStle a brother of the groom. and his wife when they were, married in 1892.

 -"Whereas, we, the people of Connec- ticut, in common with all the people throughout the country, are again called upon to submit to the demands of the coal mine owners, who place the price of that commodity beyond the reach of the common people;
 Therefore, we, the undersigned cit izens and constituents of your congress sional district, do hereby respectfully petition that you use all means at your command to secure such legisla- tion as will bring speedy relief from this intolerable condition.
 Believing there exists a-. tendency on the part of mine owners to limit the amount of coal mined we believe that congress should take such meas ures as will prevent further abuse of the people by this great monopoly"
