THEY ARE IN FEAR Of A RIOT
PEOPLE OF GLENS FALLS,
NEW YORK.
The National Guard is Again Called
observation-disclosures on Street Rail-

less-A Mass Meeting the Origin of
Trouble.

Glens Falls, N. Y, Oct. 7-As a re-
suit of renewed activity by the striking
motormen of the Hudson Valley Elec-
trio Railway company, soldiers of the
national guard are again guarding the
peace of this town, and though there
has been no rioting, an uneasy feeling
prevails. The militia company of this
place which had been dismissed to its
armory Thursday last, was called out
again and is now protecting the power
house and other property of the railway
company in Glens Falls. A squad is
also gu uarding bridge at Sandy Hill,
having been sent there following re-
port that one of the canal bridges was
to be blown up.
The riotous mob which held possess
ion of Glens Falls for four hours last
night was composed of sympathizers
with the strikers and the police We're
powerless against it.
A mass meeting called by the labor
organizations to express sympathy for
the strikers was the origin of the dis
turbance. 1t was planned to have the
mass meeting in Bank square and when
permission was refused i'll feeling re-
suited.
Headed by a band the, strikers and
labor leaders formed in parade through
the principal streets, the ranks of the
paraders being augmented by sympa-
thizers and boys who at first opportun-
ity created disturbances.
The riot was preicpitated by the ar
rest of man who made insulting re-
marks to one of the non-union employees
and each car passing through was the
object of demonstration.
At Cool's switch, four cars were
stalled at one time. They were soon
abandoned, the non-union motormen
and conductors placing themselves in
the hands of the police for protection,
or DESERVING to the strikers. The car
windows were smashed and a fusilde
of bricks and stones hurled at the cars.
Conductor Currier of Brooklyn was
20 badly injured by rough handling
that he is in the hospital in a serious
condition.
Under guard of the soldiers the sew
eral stalled cars were run down toward
the power house, followed by mob.

demonstrations were made and stone
throwing indulged in, TO which the sol
diers responded by volleys of bullets,

Tamaqua, Pa. Oct. CA section of
track ON the Silver Greek branch of
the Philadelphia & Reading railroad
was blown up by dynamite recently.
When the non-union workmen's train
reached the scene of the explosion a
force of so deputies escorted the men
to the colliery.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 6.-.Tust before
day break squad of the Thirteenth
regiment men stationed near the Grassy
Island colliery came across an Italian
striker prowling around the OUTPOST
with a shot gun. He fired in the
direction from which the soldiers were
approaching, afterwards alleging that
he was shooting at bird. Colonel
Waters had received information that
he was receiving arms and ammunition,
and detachment of two companies
were sent to his house. The soldiers
found there 1900 rounds of cartridges
for shot guns. No arms, however, were
found. The Italian was turned over
to the sheriff.
Twice during the night sentries about
the Thirteenth camp were stoned, and
early in the evening train bearing
troops from Oliphant to Birdseye encon-
tered pile of rocks and felled tree
across the tracks.
There is strong feeling prevalent,
especially among he business men, that
a convention of the strikers should be
called to pass upon the Baer proposition
to refer to the district courts any dis
pute that can not be satisfactorily
adjusted between the miner and his i'm
ployer. The operators declare that if
such convention was held and a secret
ballot taken the vote in favor of going
back to work on these terms would be-
almost unanimous. The mine workers
leaders say the proposition is sham
intended to deceive the public. 1t is
wholly lmpracticable, they say, and
before the week is over locals through
out the whole region will pass resolut-
ions commencing President Mitchell
for taking it upon himself to ignore the
proposition.
General Goblin, in command of the
state troops in the strike region, says
that he will not move brigade head
quarters to Wilkesbarre unless the
situation should warrant such a
change. which is not at present the case.
Peter Macofskyx, non-union miner,
was severely beaten today by mob on
West Center street.
The beginning of the 22nd week of
the strike shows no material change in
the situation. The operators told
President Roosevelt that 1900 men
were at work and that 10 percent of
the normal production was being mined.
President Mitchell denies that such
a number Of men were mining coal.
He said the operators were including
in the IL 900 all the engineers, tiremen
and pump runners (of whom there are
about 5000, fire bosses, clerks and
other employees. He also denied that
ID percent of the nomal production is
being sent to the market and said that
If the statement was true, "the oper-
ators owe it to the public to soil coal
at the normal prices instead of charg-
ing dealers $15 to $50 ton.
While the superintendents hereabouts
will not talk of future plans, there is
an impression among the citizens
generally that strong efforts Will be
made this week by the coal companies
to resume operation.

ONLY FACTS WANTED. ]
Coal Commission viii Try to Expedite
M ~ Matters.

Scranton, Pa. Dec. 4.The mem
bers of the anthracite coal strike com
mission are all in the city again,
ready to take up the matter Of hear
ing testimony. It is whispered here
that the commission has decided that
from this time on a great effort will
be made to expedite matters. Only
facts viii be wanted. One story that
has been put at rest IS the report that
the commission has decided that it
will nit take up the question IF the
recognition OF the union. The mat.
ter had never been referred to in the
sessions Of the commission. The ac-
countants Tor the miners have COM
pleted the work Of going over the fig
ures as to the pay Of miners sub
mitted by the Delaware and Hudson
company. The Independent operators
have refused the request that they
submit books and figures to the ac-
countants Of the miners as the other
companies had agreed to do.
